Spill The Tea: Black Tea Edition

Bold. Rich. Grounding.

Black tea is one of the most popular teas in the world, and for good reason — it’s energizing, balancing, and surprisingly versatile.

Here’s a little tea magic: if you leave black tea bags in a jar of water outside on a sunny day, you’ll eventually have sun tea. It’s slow-brewed by the warmth of the sun, giving you a lighter, smoother flavor compared to boiling water.

No fancy steps, no equipment, just water, tea, sunlight, and a little patience. It’s like the universe’s way of reminding us that sometimes, slowing down brings the sweetest results.

In Hawaii I would often make sun tea. I would fill a pitcher of water that had a lid, and then put 6 or 7 Lipton black tea bags into the water. After that was ready I would set the pitcher outside in the backyard where it wouldn't fall over and let it is for at least 4 hours.

After the tea was ready, I would put the pitcher in the fridge and drink it like iced tea, a little bit of sugar and a scoop of ice. It is not for everyone, but I love it.

Energy Boost

Black tea gives you a steady lift without the jitters. With less caffeine than coffee, it keeps you awake and alert, but balanced enough that you don’t crash later. It’s like a gentle nudge instead of a push.

Heart Health

Research shows black tea may help reduce cholesterol and support circulation, making it a daily habit that can benefit your heart long-term. A small ritual with lasting impact.

Focus + Clarity

Black tea naturally contains L-theanine, an amino acid that works with caffeine to sharpen focus, improve mental clarity, and even promote calm concentration. Perfect for workdays, study sessions, or just being present.

Gut Health

The polyphenols in black tea act as prebiotics, feeding healthy gut bacteria and supporting digestion. Less bloat, more balance, from the inside out.

Endless Options

Black tea isn’t one-size-fits-all. You can brew it hot, pour it over ice, spice it into a chai, or even let the sun do the work and make suntea. It fits your mood, season, and ritual.
