Give the ritual a place in your day
Choose one moment that already exists, such as breakfast or a work break. Put the clean mug and tea together where you prepare the drink. Keep a second option for busy days so the routine stays flexible. Enjoy tea for its taste and the pause it creates; a tea ritual is not evidence of detoxification or guaranteed weight loss.
A repeatable way to brew
Read the pack for the amount of tea, water temperature and steeping time. Measure the water and use a timer the first time. Remove the leaves or filter when the stated time is reached. If the taste is too strong, adjust one variable on your next cup within the instructions, rather than changing everything at once. Record the combination you prefer.
Compare one detail at a time
Create a small note with four columns: blend, preparation, taste and next adjustment. Brew according to the label, taste before sweetening and describe what you notice without scoring it as a health benefit. Keep the same cup size when comparing two flavours. This makes the next purchase a choice based on your preferences, rather than a claim on a promotional image.
