It&#8217;s also about family time.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The pandemic marches along, and we do what we can to get out of its way. We don masks to block it from out bodies, and we wash our hands like maniacs. We keep distant from one another. For many of us, that means goodbye gyms, dance clubs, yoga studios, sporting events, comedy clubs, live music, theater. Sadly, the list grows long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hunting for silver linings, even amidst such tragedy and carnage, takes work. They do exist, however.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big silver lining revolves around family. Yes, for many of us the dramatically increased time together sometimes drives \u2026 us \u2026 nuts. Some of that close family time was special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This brings us to tea. Across Asia and the United Kingdom, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/English%20Breakfast%20(Organic)\/502\">tea<\/a> is much more than a simple beverage \u2014 a means to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/teas-quenching-thirst\/\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">quench thirst<\/mark><\/a> or stimulate with caffeine. Instead, in many cultures and communities tea brings together families, as well as friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It serves as a kind of social glue in our home, that\u2019s for sure. Breakfast, lunch, mid-day breaks, dinnertime, before bed \u2014 we drink tea together across the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our advice to your family, even if it\u2019s just two of you? Use tea breaks as an excuse to get together all day. But first, review our plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tea Time Is Family Time<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/national-cancer-institute-BQPi8F_UON0-unsplash-1024x819.jpg\" alt=\"Tea time is family time\" class=\"wp-image-708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/national-cancer-institute-BQPi8F_UON0-unsplash-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/national-cancer-institute-BQPi8F_UON0-unsplash-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/national-cancer-institute-BQPi8F_UON0-unsplash-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/national-cancer-institute-BQPi8F_UON0-unsplash-1600x1280.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tea time is family time around the world, from Asia to the Middle East to the United Kingdom.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breakfast<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Time to wake up! It\u2019s one thing to literally \u201cwake up,\u201d by lifting bodies from beds. But many of us shuffle like zombies until we have downed our first caffeinated beverage of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the first teas we brew, while we wander through that half-asleep twilight zone between bed and kitchen, are our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Rocky%20Mountain%20Breakfast%20(Organic)\/2627\">Organic Rocky Mountain Breakfast,<\/a> and our&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/CHA%20-%20Awake\/2905\">CHA Awake<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rocky Mountain Breakfast<\/strong> is a blend of two strong black teas: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/productlist\/search\/assam\">Assam<\/a> from Northern India, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/productlist\/search\/keemun\">Keemun<\/a> from from China\u2019s mountainous <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anhui\">Anhui Province<\/a>. Both regions stand as classic for tea cultivation: mild climates, abundant rain, cloud-encircled mountains and deep forests. The best teas in the world generally flourish in places like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are familiar with teas like English and Scottish Breakfast, then our custom blend will taste familiar. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/English%20Breakfast%20(Organic)\/502\">Organic English Breakfast<\/a>, for example, includes black teas from Sri Lanka, China and Tanzania. The blend for our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Scottish%20Breakfast\/412\">Scottish Breakfast<\/a>? Assam, Keemun and Orange Pekoe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We collaborated with the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/cha\/\"> University of Colorado\u2019s Center for Humanities and the Arts<\/a>, CHA, (which coincidentally means \u201ctea\u201d in China) to craft our eye-opening <strong>CHA Awake<\/strong> blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHA combines black tea from China\u2019s Yunnan Province, Ripe Pu-erh (which also comes from Yunnan), organic orange peel and organic cinnamon. We absolutely adore the combination of strong dark tea with the punch of cinnamon and the perfume and tang of orange peel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CHA awakens all of our senses. It\u2019s routinely a morning go-to tea for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lunch<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/klara-kulikova-CatcixzdUcg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/klara-kulikova-CatcixzdUcg-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/klara-kulikova-CatcixzdUcg-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/klara-kulikova-CatcixzdUcg-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/klara-kulikova-CatcixzdUcg-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lunch is a daily tea break for many, including the Ku Cha family.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>People across Morocco sip mint tea throughout the day, including with meals. We think it\u2019s a wonderful tradition. Moroccan Mint Tea now is a standard accompaniment to our lunches.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our kids, that normally means spaghetti and meatballs. It\u2019s not exactly Chinese. In many ways, however, it is familiar.&nbsp;&nbsp;Chinese people invented wheat noodles, and they are extremely popular in many provinces. And we love meatballs, too! Only instead of fennel, basil and Parmesan for flavoring, Chinese people might incorporate Five Spice Powder, ginger and soy sauce, among other things. Our kids? They want the Italian way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they want that mint tea, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Moroccan%20Mint%20(Organic)\/467\">Organic Moroccan Mint<\/a> Tea rests on a foundation of spearmint, which we think is especially delicious for mint tea. But as with classic Moroccan mint tea, it also includes gunpowder, a kind of Chinese tea also called Zu Cha (or pearl tea), that is smoky, strong and formed into small pellets that look like gunpowder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination minimizes the caffeine, as much of the blend is mint. But it offers just enough to stimulate the mind and body during and after lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 O\u2019Clock Tea Time<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/casey-chae-pluA23WNZQk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Tea time at 3 o'clock includes cookies.\" class=\"wp-image-712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/casey-chae-pluA23WNZQk-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/casey-chae-pluA23WNZQk-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/casey-chae-pluA23WNZQk-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/casey-chae-pluA23WNZQk-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oreos don&#8217;t figure into the adult interpretation of 3 o&#8217;clock tea. But the kids? You bet.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>We like gathering when we can around 3 o\u2019clock, even if it\u2019s just the two of us parents while the kids are in school (this year, who knows!?). For us, this break isn\u2019t about revving the engines. Instead, we use tea to chat about the day, even if just for 15 minutes, and to begin easing us towards the evening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, we rely on teas like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/CHA%20-%20Relax\/2907\">Organic CHA Relax<\/a> (another one of our custom blends) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Vanilla%20Rooibos\/241\">Vanilla Rooibos<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like our standard CHA tea, <strong>CHA Relax<\/strong> reflects our partnership with CU\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.colorado.edu\/cha\/\">Center for Humanities and the Arts<\/a>. Only this time, instead of using black teas, which provide energy, we turn to ingredients like green rooibos, a South African shrub. Rooibos offers lots of electrolytes and vitamins, which your body begins to crave in the late afternoon. Many people drink it, too, for energy, even though it does not contain caffeine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The blend also involves gingko, which research repeatedly shows has benefits for mental clarity and activity (and we all know that around 3 every day the mental machinery often begins to lose its oomph). In addition, gingko is good for blood circulation, which also can begin to flag late in the day. Elderflower, chamomile and spearmint round out the blend, offering calming properties to the tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kids are fine with CHA Relax. But they really love our <strong>Vanilla Rooibos<\/strong>. Even more, they thrill to dunking Oreo cookies in their hot mug of vanilla rooibos when we bring up 3 o\u2019clock tea. The Oreo thing isn\u2019t exactly our \u2026 cup of tea \u2026 but if it compels the kids to join us for a break, we\u2019re all for the treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tea includes rooibos, which we already know is perfect for the 3 o\u2019clock blues. In addition, it offers real Madagascar vanilla, calendula and almond slivers. We think of vanilla rooibos as one of our most dessert-friendly teas. The tea itself isn\u2019t sweet, but it pairs beautifully with desserts. We parents just love sipping it on our own, too &#8211; minus the Oreos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evening tea<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/m-lapian-fo78UQADmzI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Tea time is family time after dinner\" class=\"wp-image-711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/m-lapian-fo78UQADmzI-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/m-lapian-fo78UQADmzI-unsplash-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/m-lapian-fo78UQADmzI-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/m-lapian-fo78UQADmzI-unsplash-1600x1067.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nibbling fresh fruit and sipping Shou Mei is an after-dinner tradition in our home.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t always drink tea with dinner. But we often brew a pot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Shou%20Mei%20(White%20Tea%20Cake)\/2603\">Shou Mei<\/a> (white tea cake) to sip after the meal, along with melons, cherries, peaches and other fruit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese people often drink Shou Mei, which means \u201cOld Man\u2019s Eyebrow,\u201d after evening meals. This unique tea from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fujian\">Fujian Province<\/a> is famous for its myriad medicinal benefits, including boosting the immune system, improving skin complexion and offering mild body detoxification.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our postprandial amusements begin with brewing Shou Mei in one of our Yixing clay pots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These special pots, made from minerals mined from the Yixing Province and ground into powder before being formed into clay, are highly prized by people across China and around the world. They get passed down between generations \u2014 as they get used and they age, the pots ripen and evolve, lending unique flavors to glasses of hot tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After we brew the tea, the kids then begin regaling us with some of their favorite jokes. A recent zinger? \u201cWhat is a fish with ten eyes? It is fiiiiiiiiiish!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe they have futures in stand-up comedy.
