Say no to coffee! Maybe drink a smoothie or tea! Both can wake you up in a more healthy way

help me solve my caffeine problem

Liquorice and Peppermint Tea: What You Need to Know?

This is a super popular tea, one of our most highly regarded and we absolutely love it!

Wonderful liquorice! It's been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine, it's hugely popular with the Dutch and it tastes so much better with peppermint than in sherbet dips. That's why we've blended pure liquorice root with whole peppermint leaves - it's naturally sweet, unexpectedly refreshing and irresistibly moreish (if I say so myself).

What is Liquorice and Peppermint Tea?

Teapigs Liquorice and Peppermint Tea is an invigorating herbal blend of sweet, earthy licorice root with a balanced mix of crisp, refreshing peppermint.

This invigorating beverage is perfect for hot summer days, or when you're feeling in need of a little pick-me-up.

Mad Spring - sour gummies, you feral little goblin. Tangfastics. Airheads. Sour Patch Kids. Like High Summer, you choose fruit-flavored gummy sweets, but you pick ones coated in Pain Sugar. It isn’t enough to just get sugar: you’re chasing a different Sensory Experience (TM) than the rest. And that’s great.

Warm Spring - white chocolate, ruby chocolate, pastel mint drops, cotton candy, bubblegum. Marshmallows. Sweet, creamy, usually pastel. You have no particular objection to floral tastes like lavender and rose. You may be able to appreciate Turkish Delight.

Midsummer - tropical fruits: chewy and slightly creamy in pastel colors. Starburst/Opal Fruit, Creamsicles/Solero. Maoam strips. Cream sodas. Skittles, despite being jewel-toned, are in this season. Coconut and pineapple flavors go here. Also the home of chalky-type sweets like Love Hearts/candy hearts, smarties (usa) and You may be also able to appreciate Turkish Delight.

High Summer - Gummy bears and chewy, jellyish, jammy, gummy, springy in bright jewel tones. Gummy worms and jelly snakes, jelly babies, jelly beans, Haribo. Clearer and gummier than Midsummer.

Autumn Night - darker and more complex sweetness, often including an element of burning or alcohol, or another challenge. Cherry cordials, marzipan, champagne truffles. Also home of burnt-sugar tastes: maple candy, bonfire toffee, candy corn. Also home of matcha; red liquorice; red bean paste. When people bring you sweets from other countries, they’ll choose unusual local delicacies. You almost certainly were fascinated as a kid by lollipops at the science museum sold with real bugs in them.

Autumn Salt - peanut butter and peanut brittle, salted caramel, toffee, butterscotch. Toffee popcorn, Reese’s Peanut Butter cups, Snickers, Daim. If nobody has any nuts, you’ll choose chocolate with nuts, crisp or crunch over other things. Sweet just isn’t enough.

Winter Spice - herbal, spicy and medicinal sweets, usually hard old-fashioned sweets. Red-hots, burning cinnamon, chilli - eucalyptus, root beer, menthol; sarsaparilla. Hard candy, generally: old fashioned ‘boiled sweets,’ things that look gorgeous in glass jars. Parma violets. Fisherman’s Friends. You’re the only person who would eat a gingerbread house after decorating it. You’re also possibly a ghost, or used to be a Mad Spring. It’s also about the SENSATION.

Midwinter - dark black Licorice. Salty? Sweet? saltlakrids? Allsorts? Australian? You might like other things too, but when your loved ones are in another country, they go to the licorice aisle and get you the weirdest local variant they can find.

Long Winter - true chocolate, basic chocolate stuff: M&Ms. Dairy Milk. Hershey’s Kiss. But also home of fudgy tastes and sugar-on-sugar in a long slow sauce. Marshmallow, Handmade fudge, Phish Food ice cream.

Cool Winter - naturally, the homebase of minty tastes. peppermint wheels, York’s Peppermint Patties, After Eights. Also orange - chocolate orange - and, oddly, pixie sticks/sherbet and other sweet things that involve eating simple flavored sugar.

Supernatural Taste and Smell Headcanons

I included a lot of characters (I think 24?), but if your fave didn't make the cut, just send me an ask!

Dean

Smell: Leather, cinnamon, and the kind of musk that only comes from an axe body spray, cause you know what man only buys whatever is quick and easy at the gas station. He’d also smell like gasoline.

Taste: Malty like beer, but sweet in the way bbq sauce is sweet.

Sam

Smell: I just feel like (when he’d not hunting) he smells clean, ya know? Citrusy and woody, kind of like D&G light blue, with undertones of like a ‘fresh’ scented fabric softener.

Taste: Kind of fruity but tart, like a berry smoothie.  Also just a little bit of like garlic, or mustard.

John

Smell: That man is a smoker, and you can’t tell me otherwise – at least later in life, way after the marines, and losing Mary. He always has a stale smoke smell on his clothes and lips. I recon he uses old spice or similar as an aftershave, so also like cloves/sage.

Taste: Again smoky, ashy, but also oaky and malty like bourbon.

Mary

Smell: Citrusy like Sam but darker, smokier (joke not intended) with hints of like jasmine, bergamot, and a little bit of vanilla. 100% the kind of smell that wraps you up if you come in for a hug.  

Taste: Chocolate, specifically the kinds with nuts and caramel, woman has a sweet tooth.

Castiel

Smell: I feel like all angels smell at least a little like parma violets, or some kind of sweet and subtle floral smell, be especially Cas. On top of that, he’d have like other earthy scentes, like honey,  patchouli, maybe a bit of amber.

Taste: Coffee, always coffee. When human/when he eats; grape jelly, and honey.

Jack

Smell: Like Cas he has the sort of clean, floral scent to him. I also think he would smell of peppermint and like a yankee candle version of warm vanilla. He just has a cosy, familiar smell to him.

Taste: Again I think minty, additionally like white chocolate and rose/flora flavours.

Bobby

Smell: Like old books, burnt candle wicks, motor oils, and nose hair singing whisky.

Taste: More than anyone else on this list (including Crowley) Bobby tastes like whisky. Not the good stiff though, that’s only for special occasions. He taste like Jim Beam and Jack Daniels.

Crowley

Smell: Like a bonfire!!! Smokey, warm, woody, with a hint of burnt sugar.

Taste: 100% Whisky, and dark chocolate.

Charlie

Smell: Charlie smells like she just stepped out of a fantasy book, like wildflowers, and peppercorn. Like strawberry and blackcurrant wine.

Taste: Like a vegan alternative to Nutella, creamy, chocolatey, nutty.

Meg

Smell: Surprisingly soft and clean. Milky, with almond and peach. Just a hint of leather and cedarwood underneath.

Taste: Salty and sweet, anise: like a strawberry liquorice.

Ruby

Smell: Like cedarwood, ginger, and pink pepper. Pleasant but sharp, and strong. Like it pulls you in from across the room.

Taste: Bold and sweet like cabernet sauvignon, starkly contrasted by pepperoni and cheesy pasta.

Lucifer

Smell: Similar to Jack, in that he smells clean and minty. However, his is sharper, harsher. There is lime, and moss, and mahogany.

Taste: Like pure Moroccan mint, with that like sweet sourness you get on things like a tangfastics or a sourpatch kid. Like if you’re not expecting it, or you taste it for to long it will make you squirm.

Gabriel

Smell: Like walking into the kitchen of a bakery just before opening and they’re prepping everything. Mocha, malted sugar, rich caramel, creamy vanilla.  

Taste: All of the above again! Just so sweet and creamy. Like a spoonful of sugar.

Raphael

Smell: Very similar to Cas, floral, but less earthy, and more sterile. Like aloe vera and antiseptic.

Taste: Again, very clean. He has a flavour the way cucumber has flavour? Refreshing, clean, but not notable.

Michael/Adam 😍

Smell: Kind of like the ocean, meets the forrest. Musk, white lilies, salt, collided with pine, sandalwood, and cedar. Cold, but familiar, ya know?

Taste: Hear me out: Fruit loops, and Dr Pepper. Like Michael has little say over what they eat, that’s all on Adam. And after the initial, ‘I haven’t eaten in 1200 years, I’m gonna eat everything I craved’ has worn off. He’s just like, a normal guy (who does not need to eat because he shares his body with an immortal angel). So, I can see him mostly reaching for snacks that make him feel good, that remind him of his mum, or his childhood, something comforting; like sugary cereals and fizzy drinks. I love them, I will take no criticism.

Rowena

Smell: Like an apothecary. Rich and indulgent. Very aromatic with lots of deep woody tones, sweet cherry, dark rose and other florally scents.

Taste: Like a bottle of mataro, or Nebbiolo wine. Spice, cherry, plum, smoke. She both smells and tastes intoxicatingly expensive.   

Chuck

Smell: Kind of musky, cottony, leafy. I don’t really imagine him smelling too strongly of anything.

Taste: Summary and tart, like a sea breeze cocktail. (Grapefruit, cranberry, lime – an acquired taste)  

Amara

Smell: Similar to Chuck, I sort of envision an absence of smell. Maybe just hints of amber, sandalwood, and a musky citrusy scent.

Taste: Like a white dessert whine, like Riesling. Dry but sweet. Honey, and pears.

Billie

Smell: Bergamot, rose, silk, and cocoa. Inviting and pleasant, but with an undertone of darkness.

Taste: Very similar to scent, sweet and warm but with an aftertaste of something bitter; blackcurrant and dark chocolate

Benny

Smell: Robust (Copper, ginger, tobacco,) but enticing (amber, cardamom, cinnamon).

Taste: I mean, I have tried really had to not add blood to any of the previous entries, but Benny undeniably tastes like blood.

Kevin

Smell: Not good. Pre-prophethood, not so much; I imagine like mint, green tea, jasmine, the kind of smell you would expects from a reasonably priced aftershave. During prophethood, the aftershave is long forgotten; its more fried chicken, old paper, and forgetting to shower for 9 days.

Taste: Like redbull, chexmix, and mouthwash.

Eileen

Smell: Like peaches, and roses, rich chocolate, and strong coffee.

Taste: Chocolate and coffee again, but hints of sparkly summer fruits.

Ketch

Smell: Like high end British aftershaves only the royal family know off, something with notes of fig, and oud, and other pretentious smells. The small of cigar smoke, and leather follow him around too.

Taste: Like earl grey tea, and dry gin.

Balthazar

Smell: Kind of like ketch, some high end and expensive (if he actually had to pay for it). But woodsier, and fresh. He would also have that hidden undertone of violet.

Taste: Creamy and hazelnutty, but there’s a constant aftertastes alcohol, and something metallic to him, no  matter what comes first.

[projectiondepartment]

it bears repeating.... the liquorice and peppermint tea from teapigs is so fucking good dude

[lokisgoodgirl]

I have a question, love!

What is your favorite tea?

For me, I've been drinking the classic earl grey with a little milk and sugar 🥰

**crests fingers** my favourite kind of question. 🤭 Earl grey is lovely!!! And surprisingly not in my collection. Mental note, I must add it!!

One of my great daily pleasures is my tea. I favour loose tea and, controversially, not normal tea with milk and all that. It's nice, but I like to think of my teas like potions. Come with me for a little tour of my non-seasonal leaves!!!

My ✨favourite✨ if I had to pick one would be Linden Flower. The lovely @lokischambermaid introduced me to it when I was at hers and I've loved it ever since.

Lemon & Ginger - A classic, especially over the winter months.

Pure Ginger- I like this because I can add it to any of the others, usually nettle.

Nettle - Good for iron, but taste rating 4/10. Makes me feel very healthy and a nice alternative to green tea.

Linden flower- A less sickly alternative to chamomile. I usually have it after a stressful day at work (I don't drink, this is my sub🤣) and it works a treat. It's so delicious and delicate.

Jasmine green tea - as stated. I usually have this in the morning.

Relax - A lovely bedtime tea with linden, fennel, oat straw(??) and a bunch of other things.

Spearmint- I used to drink this all the time when I had bad skin and recently got back into it. It's supposed to be good for that AND it's absolutely yummy. Accept no peppermint substitutes.

Covent Garden blend- A floraly dark tea. It's nice for a caffiene hit, but generally I don't drink tea for that. Tasty, though!

Liquorice and Peppermint - This is a really nice sweet tea. Good if you're skipping desert. It's also very warming. I really like it, I need to get more actually.

random daily td headcanons:

Gwen has 3 adorable little geckos. Wants more, but can't afford it :(

Katie and Sadie both became teachers at the same school. Katie is a biology teacher and Sadie is a geography teacher. They often talk about their students, and sometimes making predictions about said students.

Liquorice and peppermint are the only candies Alejandro likes. Well, maybe also a little bit of chocolate.

[flock-talk]

I was going to say “think I went overboard on this one” but I go overboard every time so is it really overboard anymore?

Veg: acorn squash, broccoli, alfalfa sprouts, pea shoots, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, cauliflower, beet, turnip, carrot, spinach

Add ins: bee pollen, coconut, quinoa, sprout mix (barley, rye, spelt, kamut, buckwheat, millet, pumpkin seeds), herb mix (peppermint leaf, liquorice root, lemon grass, dandelion root, fennel seed, flax seed, decaf green tea, echinacea purpurea, Passion flower, green rooibos, milk thistle, fenugreek seed, anise seed, rose petals, cornflower petals)

[thenarrativefoil]

hi if you have an autoimmune disease I strongly suggest reading this paper on intestinal permeability and how diet can effect it

tl;dr

eat mushrooms, broccoli, blueberries, raspberries, green tea, cinnamon, sword beans, peanut shells, onions, red wine, dark grapes, peppermint, ginger, marshmallow plant, liquorice plant, hibiscus, pepper, tumeric, berberine!!!!, alliums, vitamin A, vitamin D, probiotics, SCFAs, dietary fiber, glutamine, and a bunch of other stuff I don't know the common words for

[fedtothenight]

if not too personal, what kind of herbal tea do you use? could really use some myself...

jdaksdfjsdf not at all! on a day to day i drink various types of tea (green tea / peppermint tea / fennel / cinnamon / liquorice / vanilla chai), when i'm struggling i get this herbal tea from italy: it's got senna but it's not too strong at all
