Are you a football fanatic? If so, how have you been finding the Europa Cup this year? This year, there have been many unexpected and pleasant surprises, such as Georgia beating Portugal 2-0, Italy getting knocked out, and even our favourite, England scoring twice against Slovakia in the last part of the game.
Whether supporting England or not, watching the Euro’s can be a pretty nerve wracking experience. Living in the hope of a goal being scored, your favourite team making the next round and hoping for no knockouts can certainly induce a sense of nerves.
If you want to watch the Euros with a bit more ease, why don’t you swap beer for herbal tea? There’s plenty of herbal teas to calm your nerves, that can help suppress your adrenaline and allow you to sleep after each Euro game this season.
What herbal tea is best for football?
Most of the games this Euro Cup tend to be on later in the evening and many on weeknights too. If you’re someone who has work the following day, ideally you should opt for a low caffeine or if possible a caffeine free herbal tea to keep you from having caffeine jitters keeping you up at night.
Trust us; the last thing you need is a cocktail of adrenaline and caffeine. Alongside this, you should try to focus on selecting teas with a soothing aroma, which will help support stress levels and calm your nerves effectively.
Note that, just like people’s choices of football teams, they may have different preferences for calming herbal teas. Your flavour preferences for relaxation tea might be different from someone else’s.
