It\u2019s the most wonderful time of the year! Gift exchanges, office parties, festive music, delicious food and, of course, amazing tea. Yep, we\u2019re talking about the holidays. \u00a0Getting to share in the merriment of the season with the people you love is the best \u2013 but sometimes it can leave you with a stress ball in the pit of your stomach. Lucky for you \u2013 tea is here to save the day! From surviving crowded malls and crazy family get-togethers to pulling all-nighters wrapping gifts, here are 6 ways to keep your cool with tea this holiday.<\/p>\n

Tame a full house<\/strong><\/p>\n

It just wouldn\u2019t be the ultimate holiday gathering without a full house of your favourite people. But sometimes things can get a little out of hand. The kids are running wild, the dog is tugging on the Christmas stockings and Aunt Judy got a head start on the punch bowl. When things hit the fan, take a deep breath and serve up some soothing Buddha\u2019s Blend<\/u><\/a>. With jasmine pearls and hibiscus blossoms, this aromatic white tea blend will have everyone from your BFF to your Gran feeling happy and relaxed.<\/p>\n

Entertain the kids<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cool uncles, it\u2019s your time to shine! Kids love magic tricks. So while the parents are busy prepping dinner, why not entertain the munchkins with a colour-changing tea? Just steep up our Magic Potion<\/u><\/a>\u00a0 infusion, add a squeeze of lemon and watch them \u201cOoh\u201d and \u201cAah\u201d as the colour goes from indigo to violet. Did we mention this juicy blue raspberry blend is caffeine-free and almost sugarless? And the Award for Coolest Uncle goes to\u2026<\/p>\n

Tackle that shopping frenzy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Children laughing, festive tunes playing in the background, crowded stores\u2026 angry shoppers fighting over gifts?! It\u2019s Christmas season at the mall. But don\u2019t worry \u2013 matcha<\/u><\/a>\u2019s got your back. Thanks to its high levels of L-theanine \u2013 a brain- boosting amino acid \u2013 this antioxidant-rich green tea powder will help you stay calm, focused and level-headed while you dive into the shopping frenzy.<\/p>\n

Take on a late-night gift wrapping sesh<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ah, yes\u2026 the last-minute gift wrapping sprint. You probably told yourself you\u2019d get a head start this year, but then life happened. You got busy, maybe even procrastinated a little. And before you know it, it\u2019s December 24th<\/sup> and you\u2019re left with a pile of gifts that still need wrapping. Time to break out our limited edition Candy Cane Crush tea. This white chocolate and peppermint flavoured black tea will give you the fuel you need to get the job done. Sip up and crush it!<\/p>\n

Ease digestion after a heavy meal<\/strong><\/p>\n

You promised yourself you wouldn\u2019t overindulge this year, but then you came face to face with that holiday spread: turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, an assortment of cheeses, and to top it all off: mom\u2019s famous pecan pie. Maybe it was that extra plate of turkey or maybe you just went to town on the camembert. Whatever the culprit, if your seeking some emergency tummy relief, try Organic\u00a0Le Digestif<\/a> \u2013 a comforting blend of ginger, fennel and peppermint. It\u2019s a delicious way to ease digestion after indulging in an epic feast.<\/p>\n

Bounce back the morning after<\/strong><\/p>\n

Had a little too much fun at the office party last night? For a clean start, sip on North African Mint<\/a><\/span>. With detoxifying fennel and soothing peppermint and ginger, it\u2019s the perfect way to settle an upset stomach and kick that hangover to the curb. Plus its energizing base of green tea will have you up and running in no time. Well, not really running… probably just sitting and making it to 5 o\u2019clock.<\/p>\n

Stay warm outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eeek, it\u2019s nippy out there! Keep those cheeks nice and rosy with a travel mug filled with our festive Alpine Punch<\/a><\/span> or Sleigh Ride<\/a><\/span> tea. They\u2019re fruity, comforting and caffeine-free, so you can sip \u2018em all day long. Plus all those sweet spices like cinnamon and ginger will keep you (and your hands) warm and cozy while you hit the slopes, build a snowman or walk your furry best friend. With these infusions by your side, you won\u2019t even feel the cold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
