Monsoon Magic in a Cup: Tea and Twigs Rainy Season Special

There’s something undeniably romantic about the monsoons in India—the scent of wet earth, the rhythmic patter of rain, and the comforting embrace of a hot cup of tea. For many of us, the rainy season is incomplete without a steaming mug in hand, gazing out of the window or chatting with loved ones as the clouds roll by. But beyond the charm, monsoon also brings a few challenges—fluctuating temperatures, colds, indigestion, and a general sense of sluggishness.

That’s where Tea and Twigs comes in. Our herbal teas are specially curated to complement the season, offering warmth, wellness, and a gentle lift in mood, all in one cup.

Let’s explore why herbal teas are your best friend this rainy season—and which blends from Tea and Twigs should be your go-to comfort brews.

Why Monsoon Calls for Herbal Teas

During monsoons, our body becomes more sensitive to dampness, low immunity, and digestive troubles. The increase in moisture in the air can also lead to respiratory issues, bloating, and low energy. Drinking warm herbal teas infused with medicinal herbs and roots is a time-tested Indian way to keep these seasonal concerns in check.

Unlike milk tea, which can be heavy on digestion and may increase mucus production, herbal teas are lighter, caffeine-free, and full of natural goodness. They gently support your body’s immunity, calm your nerves, and aid digestion—all while being a delight to sip.

 1. Chamomile Lemongrass Tea – Immunity Booster with a Zing

When gloomy skies and drizzles set the mood, all you need is a soothing cup that’s equal parts refreshing and healing. Enter Chamomile Lemongrass Tea—a blend that brings calm to your mind and a gentle kick to your senses.

Chamomile, known for its calming, anti-inflammatory properties, works wonders during the rainy season when stress and seasonal fatigue tend to creep in. It soothes the nervous system, eases mild aches, and helps with restful sleep.

Lemongrass, on the other hand, is a monsoon-friendly herb known for aiding digestion, detoxifying the body, and giving that citrusy lift we all crave during cloudy days.

Benefits:

• Boosts immunity and supports respiratory health

• Aids digestion and detoxification

• Calms the nerves and relieves stress

• Refreshing taste with natural anti-inflammatory benefits

  
  

Perfect Time to Sip: Late afternoon or early evening—especially when you need to shake off drowsiness and feel light yet relaxed.

2. Tulsi Ginger Green Tea – Sacred Immunity in Every Sip

In Indian households, Tulsi is more than just a plant—it’s a tradition, a healer, and a symbol of purity. Blended with the warmth of ginger and the refreshing qualities of green tea, this cup is your monsoon wellness ritual in a mug.

Tulsi (Holy Basil) is a powerhouse of antioxidants and natural immunity-boosting compounds. It helps protect the respiratory system, supports digestion, and combats stress—making it the perfect shield during the damp and flu-prone monsoon season.

Ginger adds a warm, spicy touch, improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and fighting common cold symptoms. Meanwhile, the base of green tea offers mild caffeine for alertness, along with a gentle detox.

Benefits:

• Strengthens immune response

• Supports respiratory health and fights cold/cough

• Enhances mental clarity and reduces fatigue

• Detoxifies and improves digestion

Perfect Time to Sip:Mid-morning or mid-afternoon—ideal for staying sharp, active, and protected as the rains roll in.

3. Hibiscus Ginger Tea – Heart-Healthy & Mood-Lifting

Rainy days can sometimes feel heavy and gloomy. Hibiscus, with its deep red colour and tart taste, brings vibrance and antioxidants to your day. When blended with warming ginger, it becomes a heart-healthy brew that also improves circulation and digestion.

Benefits:

• Regulates blood pressure

• Improves digestion

• Enhances mood naturally

  
  

Perfect Time to Sip: Late afternoon, when your energy dips and skies turn grey.

4. Chamomile Herbal Tea – Relax, Unwind, and Sleep Better

A quiet evening, a light drizzle, and a cup of Chamomile tea—that’s pure monsoon bliss. Chamomile is known for its calming properties. It reduces anxiety, aids digestion, and improves sleep quality.

Benefits:

• Helps you unwind after a hectic day

• Reduces stress and anxiety

• Promotes restful sleep

Perfect Time to Sip: After dinner or before bedtime.

5. Ashwagandha Herbal Tea – Build Inner Strength and Resilience

The damp weather can weaken our immune response and make us feel lethargic. Ashwagandha, a powerful adaptogen, helps the body manage stress, build stamina, and restore energy levels. Our blend brings balance to mind and body during the monsoon lull.

Benefits:

• Supports adrenal health and reduces fatigue

• Builds immunity over time

• Strengthens body-mind connection

Perfect Time to Sip: Early evening, especially after a mentally exhausting day.

Rainy Day Tea Rituals: More Than Just a Brew

Drinking tea isn’t just a habit—it’s a moment of pause in a fast-paced world. In monsoon, this moment becomes even more special. Here are some ideas to elevate your rainy-day tea ritual:

• Light a candle or incense while you sip

• Pair your tea with a book, journal, or light instrumental music

• Enjoy it on your balcony or by the window, soaking in the rain’s rhythm

• Try pairing your tea with light snacks like roasted makhana or spiced murmura

  
  

It’s these little rituals that bring peace, warmth, and connection in everyday life.
