There’s nothing as relaxing as cozying up with a warm cup of tea on a rainy day. Aside from being something that can warm your hands, most teas are also said to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Although nothing beats a good diet and exercise, a cup of tea won’t hurt. If you’re looking for new brews that don’t come from a paper teabag, here are some teas you can try:
Himalayan Bliss
Sourcing the finest organic teas from gardens around the world is what Himalayan Bliss promises. They have a sizable library of loose-leaf teas including tulsi (also known as holy basil), oolong, rose, spearmint, peppermint and marigold. All their teas are refillable and come in glass jars with airtight bamboo lids to ensure freshness. A jar of their tea starts at P495 and is good for 25 to 30 cups. Each pack also includes a bamboo teaspoon and four reusable cotton tea bags.

Pyur Tea
If you’re not sure what flavor you’d like, Pyur Tea can help you out. They sell sampler pouches of their teas and tea blends so you can try them before committing to a jar. Their sampler pouches are P100 for 10g and their jars start at P270. Aside from teas, they also sell tea accessories like tea pots, double-walled glass cups and very cute rose gold tea infusers. They also have a helpful guide to tea flavor profiles on their check out page if you still need some help deciding which tea you’d like to get.

Their matcha is P850 for a 30g tin, and their hojicha is P550 for a 50g bag. They also sell other goodies like café-grade matcha, nama spread and a bamboo whisk to stir your matcha powder with.
