Tea & Tonic High Spirits collection

Don't know about you, but getting out of bed felt a little challenging today. That extra day of sloth before heading desk-wards...! 

Well, we have the most marvellous fillip for your senses, in the form of two products from Tea & Tonic, who cleverly take a two-way approach that offers products accompanied by a complementary wellness tea, to turbo-charge the effect.

First up, then, the tea – since we do always like to start most things with tea! We're finding High Spirits White Mint Tea is a really fab alternative to our usual mega-caffeinated morning brew. Yes, there's white tea in the blend (which does offer a 'lift'), but also zingy peppermint and aromatic eucalyptus, plus a touch of licorice for a soupçon of sweetness. It's absolutely DELICIOUS and very thirst-quenching.

And it really does work so, so well with the High Spirits Body Oil, which has leaped right onto the bedside table for a.m. slathering onto winter-dry skin. You really must breathe deeply when you do this, to get the maximum benefit of the uplifting essential oils, which include May Chang, lemon peel, rosemary, frankincense, black pepper and eucalyptus. The base of oils from crambe, blackcurrant, safflower, camelina and white poppy seed, meanwhile, don't leave skin greasy, but are nevertheless softening and nourishing. 

All natural, all-lovely – and we can't think of a better way to kickstart what we wish for you to be a much, much better year!
