With endless meetings, responsibilities, and apps calling for your attention, it can be hard to set your sights on just one thing at a time. Whether it’s to focus on work or simply ground yourself throughout the day, a clear mind can help you feel calm and centered.
Drinking certain types of tea can help with mental clarity by increasing awareness, improving memory, or giving you an energy boost. Here are five of the best teas for mental clarity that help you feel alert, focused, and awake!
Peppermint Tea
Known for aiding in concentration, cooling mint teas do more than fix bad breath. Just like peppermint oil, peppermint teas can help you naturally focus and feel more alert. Plus, it’s caffeine free, making it a great substitute for coffee to combat daytime drowsiness. Hot or cold, enjoy a cup of peppermint tea for focus so you can take on the day.

Green Tea
Earthy and soothing, green tea is the jack of all trades when it comes to improving your health and wellness. Packed with antioxidants, green tea’s benefits range from protecting against heart disease to preventing cavities. Along with these many advantages, green tea can also improve cognitive function. Unlike caffeine in coffee or black tea, the caffeine naturally occurring in green tea blocks adenosine receptors. This means green tea not only acts as a stimulant but also provides you with clarity and focus. The L-theanine in green tea also calms your emotions, temporarily adding some energy and balance to your day.

Ginkgo Biloba & Gotu Kola Tea
Often paired together, these plants have long been recognized by ancient Ayurvedic and Chinese traditions for creating some of the best teas for memory and concentration. Native to East Asia, ginkgo biloba helps increase brain circulation, which helps improve mental function and stabilize emotion. Similarly, gotu kola tea aids with brain function, and is traditionally taken before meditation to soothe anxieties and clear one’s mind. Modern research has supported this ancient knowledge and even suggests that ginkgo biloba can improve memory. Keep in mind, gotu kola can interfere with certain medications, so be sure to check your prescription before drinking.
