    Sometimes, taking a midday break as you WFH can help with concentrating. To add to your break, a perfectly brewed cup of tea can cater to your taste buds by giving you that caffeine kick.
    Tea is a popular beverage made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It comes in several varieties, each with unique flavors, characteristics, and health benefits.
    These expert-approved guide highlights various bags, cups, pots and matcha sets. Overall, it’s the ideal way to catch-up with loved ones, mark a special birthday, or just because – and they also make a delicious gift for the tea lover in your life.
    To get an insight, the various types are.
    Green
    Made from unoxidized leaves and is one of the least processed types. It has a high concentration of antioxidants and is believed to have numerous health benefits, such as improving brain function and aiding in fat loss.
    Black
    Fully oxidised, giving it a dark color and rich flavor. It generally has more caffeine than other types and is often enjoyed with milk and sugar.
    Oolong
    Partially oxidised, falling somewhere between green and black in terms of flavor and caffeine content. It is known for its smooth, rich taste.
    White
    Least processed and made from young leaves or buds. It has a delicate flavor and is high in antioxidants.
    Herbal
    Not made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Instead, it is made from a variety of herbs, spices, flowers, and fruits. Popular examples include chamomile, peppermint, and rooibos. For added therapeutic benefits, it can often provide the most effective relief for coughs.
    Pu-erh
    Fermented from China, known for its unique aging process, which can last for several years. It has a rich, earthy flavor and is believed to aid in digestion.
    Matcha
    Originating from Japan, it’s used in traditional ceremonies. It is made from finely ground, high-quality green leaves and is known for its vibrant green color and robust flavor.

      Prada Caffè opens at Harrods in London

      On 31st march, 2023, the Italian luxury brand opened Prada Caffè at Harrods in London – unlocking a whole new dimension under the fashion house.
      The space visually boasts of Prada’s signature hallmarks – from the decor and menu to the tableware and atmosphere – every element has the brand’s DNA displayed in a distinctive way.
      Once you enter the luxe Prada Caffè, the walls, ceilings, velvet-upholstered sofas and armchairs are all synonymously painted in the iconic Prada green.  The floors replicate the black-and-white chequered patterned, referenced from the historic Prada boutique on Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan.
      The floral bas-reliefs on the walls will remind you of the many Prada flagship stores across the world. Original tableware ranging from pale-blue Japanese porcelain with a contrasting double black line, inspired by ancient Celadon potter  to blown-glass crystal glassware, including the Triangle series with its quintessentially Prada triangular pattern, can be found resting on the goregous furniture of this new cafe.
      Providing a modern spin on traditional Italian, the Prada Caffè  serves a wide range of dishes between breakfast and evening cocktails. From sandwiches and risotto sitting alongside buffalo mozzarella to salmon and crab dishes, along with spritz – and negroni-based aperitifs complementing the list of signature cocktails.
      Pastries are the focal point at this gourmet spot – showcased both on the central counter and the wall behind. The wide selection includes fine patisserie products, paired with expert craftsmanship that demonstrates modern techniques and classic ingredients with contemporary flavours.
      The Prada Caffè will be open from 31st March 2023 to 7 January 2024. From 9 AM to 9 PM Monday to Saturday and from 12 PM to 6 PM on Sunday, with an entrance on Hans Road. It will soon be joined by an outdoor stall, which will offer Londoners a delicious range of ice creams.
