You've worked hard, and it's been a long year. You know it, we know it, the entire nation knows and agrees: You should have a day off. Good news! We've got tea for that!

For everyone working

In industries that can't take a day off, this holiday may be the same-ol'-same-ol', or it might be a busy, thankless day. So to those of you working: Thank you, thank you, thank you! You deserve a real cookie. The sugary, indulgent kind that comes in giant-sized or in packs that are certainly not single-serve- except that they are single-serve when nobody's looking.

To get you through the day, take it easy and sleep in a little later with our Presto Teas Sampler. These pre-brewed, liquid teas simply mix into hot or cold water and are ready to go when you are. The Pu-erh, Irish Breakfast, and Jasmine Yin Hao will give you the energy and happy tea buzz to carry through your busy day while Rooibos will give you the no-mess, caffeine-free sipping that helps you settle in after a long day!

Finally, when you do get to your day off, check below for these suggestions on taking a breather!

Camping and Hiking

If the labor of finding the perfect spot to stop and smell the pines or cacti is your ideal Labor Day celebration, start your morning off a white tea cookie! This easy-traveling cookie is the perfect companion to your perfect, earthy morning with just a hint of caffeine to get you moving.
This fine tea comes in the perfect shape to tag along for your best adventures!

If you're looking for more of a kick, try Pu-erh Dante. Its earthy, forest flavors are uniquely perfect for helping you live out your dreams of being a forest creature, albeit short-lived if your phone is already ringing.

Grilling

For a Labor Day well spent over the grill with your favorite friends, Steak and Burger, try complimenting them with flavors that bring out the last pieces of summer.

Mango Green will bring fruity, grassy flavors to your party table and makes a perfect accompaniment to any barbecue. Alternatively, Peach Iced Tea will bring a classic round of flavors to your glass with ease!

Want to sweeten the deal? Add a little bit of one of our raw honeys such as our garden herbals honey not only to your tea but any of your homemade condiments and rubs featuring honey! These subtle and unique flavors will help add a little je ne sais quoi to any of your favorite recipes!

For a no-effort ace-in-the-hole dish, try our steak rub spice made with Ceylon tea, herbs, and spices not just on your steak but on nearly any protein you're planning to make!

Binging movies, TV, and books

If leaving the house isn't your ideal day, you're in good company!
For a fan night re-binging of your favorites, check out our matching fandom teas. These carefully blended teas made by your fellow fans are a perfect accompaniment to any of your favorites! (Or, add any six Signature Blend sample tins to your cart to create your own custom box!)

For an early start on a new show, start strong with Earl Gray Bravo's zesty, fruity buzz. Stay alert through the climax with Genmai Cha's long-lasting buzz and nutty, savory notes. Finally, Summer Night will help you settle down as you tie together all the loose end and settle in for bed just in time to pretend the sun isn't rising.

Soaking up all the work you're not doing

If your perfect choice to feel appreciated for all your hard work is the fluffiest and most luxurious bubble bath, we've got the perfect tea for it. Green Rooibos Paradiso supplies rose petals you don't have to clean up, pineapples and coconut for that vacation too far away, and the peace and relaxation of all those naps you're behind on.

Pretending it's a different holiday

Wishing it were a holiday you're looking forward to a little more? No problem!


For getting spooky

You're just in time to celebrate by getting your pumpkins and cinnamon in order. Boost your Halloween pre-celebration and decorating with Pumpkin Spice. Costumes including, but not limited to, witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, etc. are optional but highly recommended.

This tea is also an excellent hold-me-over until the great pumpkin pie feast in November!

For those ready to wrap it up

OK, sure, your friends and family might complain if the tree comes up in September, especially if they're busy decorating the skeleton. However, nobody's gonna stop you from dreaming over a cup of Candy Cane, especially us; this perfect piece of Christmas is available year-round! Pair this wonderfully holiday-flavored tea with your chocolate of choice for a full treat.

Please determine if the atmosphere is safe for your best Santa hat before donning it and your jingles.


Pretending it's New Year's

Tired of this year for some reason? Plan for the day when you can start a new year with White Symphony! Clean, light, and floral, this tea will help you remember there are still many wonderful and beautiful days ahead.

With our wide selection of teas, we've got an option for you no matter how you like to kick for feet up. We hope you enjoy this short break and that it powers you through the rest of the year!

Happy Labor Day!
