Our Focus tea is the ultimate herbal tea to support focus, concentration, memory and learning. It contains a potent blend of herbs that increase blood flow and circulation to the brain. It also works as a support for potential underlying issues that might be making it hard for you to focus, like stress, lack of sleep and anxiety. It is a deliciously aromatic and refreshing blend with a bitter hint of rosemary and a strong minty undertone. Meet your new caffeine-free work/study ally!
Rosemary
Rosemary is an excellent herb for concentration as it relaxes your muscles, capillaries and arteries, which in turn enhances blood flow. Rosemary has this effect particularly on the head. Improved blood flow to the brain means better nutrition and oxygenation and less inflammation – and this also helps maximise concentration, memory and mental clarity, as well as helping ease any headaches.
Peppermint
Peppermint is a refreshing and uplifting herb we all know and love for its familiar minty flavour. But, did you know it can help with focus and concentration? It does so by relaxing your muscles and any tension that’s restricting the free flow of blood and energy. It can also relieve headaches, which can certainly get in the way of good focus.
Gotu kola
Gotu kola is a nerve tonic, which means it supports your nervous system. Poor memory and concentration can be caused by stress and anxiety, so gotu kola deals with that element by working to relax your body and mind. It also stimulates your brain by improving blood circulation.
Ginkgo
Ginkgo biloba is a neuro-protective herb and brain tonic. It supports your brain in functioning healthily by increasing blood flow to it.
This product contains ginkgo, gotu kola, rosemary and peppermint.
When to drink
If you have an intense period of studying or work to do, we recommend drinking one cup with or after breakfast and one cup after lunch. Otherwise, one cup after or with breakfast is sufficient.
How often to drink
You can drink this tea daily, up to 3 cups per day.
How to make

For maximum benefits from the Focus Tea:
-
Sleep Well: Ensure you get 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep nightly. Sleep is when the brain consolidates memories and cleanses toxins, setting you up for a day of optimal cognitive function.
-
Brain-Boosting Activities: Stimulate your mind regularly. Engage in study, puzzles, crosswords, or chess. Reading books, especially those outside your comfort zone, or learning a new instrument can also sharpen cognitive skills.
-
Balanced Diet: Fuel your brain with a nutrient-rich diet. Consume foods abundant in omega-3 fatty acids like flax seeds, chia seeds, and fatty fish. Antioxidant-rich foods like blueberries, turmeric, and dark chocolate can combat oxidative stress, which may impair cognitive function.
-
Mindfulness & Meditation: Dedicate a few minutes daily to mindfulness practices. Meditation can enhance focus, improve stress response, and even increase the brain's grey matter, which is vital for processing information.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drink ample water throughout the day. Dehydration can impair attention, long-term & short-term memory, and decision-making skills.
-
Regular Exercise: Physical activity boosts blood flow to the entire body, including the brain. Whether it's a brisk walk, yoga, or a more intense workout, keeping active can enhance cognitive function and mood.
-
Limit Distractions: In our digital age, distractions are all around. Set aside times of the day for deep work, devoid of interruptions from smartphones or social media. This can train your brain for better focus and productivity.
-
Aromatherapy: Incorporate the use of our Focus Pulse Point during breaks in your study or work sessions to help rejuvenate your mental state and sharpen focus; diffuse our Focus Essential Oil Diffuser Blend or simply some rosemary essential oil in your study or work space.
