  • Mood Tea offers unique flavours with a purpose

    Mood Tea offers unique flavours with a purpose

    In times of stress or crisis, when things tend to go wrong, it’s important you let your mind relax and take it easy. So when time gets tough, may we suggest tea to rescue? It’s believed that in times of stress, a cup of tea can work wonders for your nerves. In countries like Japan and India, brewing and bonding over cups of tea is a usual practice and it ensures general well being of the family.

    It’s been quite a long journey for tea as a beverage. What started as a humble cup of regular chai has now ended up in elegantly packed designer boxes of flavored teas. Tea has become more of a lifestyle now. There’s a tea for every mood, flavor for every season. While your workout regime is incomplete without wellness and detox green teas, your winter evenings just cannot happen without a hot steaming cup of Kashmiri Kahwa or Darjeeling.

    Don’t you remember Mad Hatter from ‘Alice in Wonderland’? Even he seemed to agree that “it’s always tea-time”. A hearty breakfast with a cup of earl grey and late nights with Masala chai or Vanilla tea pretty much sums the day up. However, many of us aren’t much aware of the options of teas available. Here’s a comprehensive list of teas for all moods available with exclusive makers of flavored single origin teas.

    Tea for Moods:

    Kick-start flavours: For the times we drag ourselves out of bed and still don’t seem to be fully awake, let our good old strong black Assam tea wake you up every morning. With or without milk, it is a perfect good cup to start your day.

    Herbal De-stress: A long day at work, the fever and fret, leave you tired and stressed. Nothing can be more refreshing than a hot shower followed by a cup of warm de-stress relaxing tea. Jasmine tea and refreshing lemon -ginger herbal infusion work on stress and calm your nerves like magic!

    Mood Lifters: Didn’t have a good day at work? Upset over a job not done? Rejuvenate with tea and start anew! Spicy chilli tea, lemon tea and masala chai are great mood lifters. They give you just the right push to get things done.

    Weekend Detox: After a long hard week, a crazy weekend is the least you can ask for. But what about the Sunday morning hangover? Nevermind because we do have a tea solution for that as well. The goodness of organic green tea not only detoxes you but also increases your metabolism. The antioxidants found in herbal green tea play an important role in keeping your natural immunity in place.

    Post Workout: And ofcourse, for the fitness freaks. How can we forget that your workout ain’t complete without a cup of weight-loss tea to mark the finish! A cup of green tea with a tinge of honey can work wonders for your weight loss program.

    Sleep well: Last but not the least, when you go to bed, teas that ensure you sleep well. Try out sleepwell carrot orange multivitamin herbal infusion or relaxing pomegranate orange herbal infusion to relax you before going to bed.

    When nothing else seems to work, keep calm and settle down with a cup of steaming tea and let your mind figure out a way.

  • TikTok wants you to stay away from the app some time

    TikTok wants you to stay away from the app some time

    TikTok wants its users to find other things to do instead of spending all day creating short-form videos and browsing through the app. In a message to the TikTok community that the company disseminated on Thursday, TikTok announced some steps it is taking to help users develop positive digital habits. Users can already set daily screen time limits and in a few weeks, they will be able to control the amount of time that they spend on TikTok in a single setting by enabling regular screen time breaks.
    These prompts will remind TikTok users to take a break from the app after a certain amount of uninterrupted screen time has passed. The amount of screen time can be set as long or as short as the user desires. TikTok members aged between 13 and 17 who have used the app for more than 100 minutes in a single day will be reminded the next time they open TikTok that they can use the screen time limit tool.
    Carolyn Bunting MBE, CEO of Internet Matters, said, “The research showed that younger users would welcome the introduction of built-in features and settings that prompt them to both think critically about the time that they are spending online, but also encourage them to use settings to actively manage the time they spent on the app. It is important that they feel in control of their online experiences and are helped to make considered choices. We look forward to TikTok developing further features that will put children’s wellbeing at the heart of their design choices.”

    The Digital Wellbeing screen time summary shows the amount of time users spent on TikTok during the daytime and during the night. As TikTok recently stated, “We love working with talented creators to educate the TikTok community about online safety, wellbeing, and the tools and options available to them. The energy and enthusiasm these creators have for their community helps them connect with other users and leads to a better understanding of the platform.”

    TikTok was the most downloaded app globally during the first quarter of 2022. It also was just the fifth app in history to record lifetime installations of more than 3.5 billion; the other four apps were all developed by Meta (Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Messenger).
    Earlier this year, TikTok made some major changes to its short-form video platform. Looking to take on YouTube, TikTok increased the length of its maximum videos from 60 seconds to 180 seconds (or from one minute to three minutes). It then increased the video length once again from 180 seconds to six hundred seconds (3 minutes to ten minutes). Now, the more than one billion monthly active users on the app have a reason to spend some more time on TikTok.
    On August 1st, 2020, then President Donald Trump, in the middle of his trade war with China, announced that “We’re looking at TikTok, we may be banning TikTok. We may be doing some other things. There’s a couple of options. But a lot of things are happening, so we’ll see what happens. But we are looking at a lot of alternatives with respect to TikTok.”
    Eventually, Trump decided that he wanted TikTok to be owned by a U.S. company and said that for the app to be allowed to be used in the states, it would have to have U.S. ownership. Three U.S. firms appeared to be interested including (quite surprisingly) Oracle and Walmart. Microsoft also had a strong interest in buying the U.S. version of TikTok.
