What are the benefits of summer tea?

Summer tea is often considered light, fruity, refreshing tea that can be drunk hot or cold. They have a range of floral notes and rely less on earthy tones, which are light to digest. Before diving in with our cooling tea for summer recommendations, let’s look at their benefits:  

Cooling effects

As we mentioned earlier, the right summer tea can have a cooling and soothing effect. Teas that contain herbs like chamomile and lavender can be great additions to helping you relax on stressful and sticky summer days.

Helps with digestion 

The best summer teas can help support your digestive system. When food can be digested more easily, less heat is generated in your body. Thus, refreshing summer teas with herbs supporting your digestive system can have a lower thermic effect on your body.

It’s a low-calorie and healthy drink that connects people of different generations, with different dietary preferences and cultures.
