What A Great Brrr-ew The Best Teas to Sip This Season

June 30, 2025

When the weather turns chilly, there’s nothing quite like a hot cup of tea to bring comfort. But beyond the cosy feeling, the right brew can also help support your health during the colder months.

Ginger tea is a top pick. It’s naturally warming, aids digestion and may ease cold symptoms thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Add lemon and honey for a soothing, immune-boosting mix.

Chai tea is another favourite. This spiced black tea is brewed with warming ingredients like cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. These spices are known to improve circulation and support the immune system, making chai a flavour-packed winter go-to.

For a caffeine-free option, rooibos is naturally sweet and full of antioxidants. It’s gentle on the stomach and great for soothing sore throats.

Peppermint tea is refreshing while still warming. It can ease congestion and help digestion, especially after hearty winter meals. Chamomile is perfect before bed, helping you relax and sleep soundly.

Green tea is a lighter brew, but still offers a good dose of antioxidants to keep your immune system in shape.

Whatever your taste, there’s a tea to warm your hands and heart this winter.
