Relaxation and balance are the best foundations to tackle a demanding day. A restful sleep, meditation, or mindfulness exercises help with this – and so does the tea duo in this category: EASY DREAMER and THE CAMOMILE

There are also a number of tools that can help you feel more in tune with yourself. Breath work, yoga sessions, relaxing sounds or even a cup of calming tea are the best options. You can also combine techniques or use the time you spend brewing your favourite tea as a meditation session. Celebrate your moment of calm and let the scent and warmth of the tea open your heart and relax your senses.

Irina Sterna, founder of Alchemy Sound Studio in Munich, Germany, is specialised in meditation and the power of sound. In her workshops, she uses relaxing breathing techniques and sound bathing with singing bowls to bring participants into a state of deep calm.

"A sound bath is an incredibly effective way of calming the nervous system, releasing emotional blockages and achieving a state of inner balance and harmony. The Crystal Bowls in particular, with their gentle, healing vibrations, allow us to experience deep states of relaxation and tune into our true nature, enabling holistic regeneration."

While workshops are helpful in finding more serenity in everyday life, it is often the little things that can have a big impact. After all, taking the first step and doing something for yourself is usually the hardest thing to do. That's why it helps to start small, like sitting in a calming place with a cup of tea.

"Shape & Shine": Good nutrition provides the nutrients for a healthy body and makes us glow from the inside out. This also includes liquid heroes like these three:

 DAILY MATE impresses not only with its delicious taste but also helps with weight loss. The green tea blend contains mate and guarana, rounded off with the fruity-fresh aromas of mint and lemon. Mate is rich in mateine, theobromine, and theophylline, which are stimulating and boost metabolism. They can help burn fat and reduce hunger. Guarana contains about five times more caffeine than coffee beans and increases performance.

PURE CHOC offers chocolate enjoyment without guilt. The herbal tea combines the intensely chocolaty taste of cocoa beans with a light caramel aroma and nuances of roasted almonds and coconut. Cocoa is not only delicious but also known for its mood-enhancing effects. It is full of essential minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins. Therefore, PURE CHOC is perfect for chocolate fans looking for a low-calorie option for a sweet break.Red on the outside, green on the inside: GRAND GRANATE is a green tea, but the included beetroot makes the brewed tea red. Fruity-sweet pomegranate seeds provide the flavor highlight, whose antioxidants also boost metabolism and have anti-inflammatory effects.
