Afternoon Pause

Around 2 or 3 PM, it’s easy to hit that mid-day slump. Many people reach for another cup of coffee—but that can affect your sleep later on. Tea, on the other hand, is gentler and adds a little moment of joy to your day.
A cup of tea paired with a sweet treat not only boosts your mood and focus, but also transforms your workday into something more soothing and elegant.
