INFORMATION:
Forget your keys? Can't remember your email password? You need a little Focus Pocus, blended with the memory-enhancing power of peppermint, gingko and turmeric.

According to an experiment conducted by researchers at the British Psychological Society's 2016 Annual Conference, peppermint tea may improve both long-term and working memory. During the experiment, 180 participants were randomly offered a cup of peppermint tea, chamomile, or hot water, and given a questionnaire related to their mood. Twenty minutes after drinking their beverage, they were given a test to assess their memory, followed by an additional mood questionnaire.

If you guessed that peppermint improved participant memory, you're correct! Post-conference analysis showed that participants who drank the peppermint tea significantly showed significant improvements in memory and alertness, compared to those who drank hot water or chamomile. (There's a reason chamomile is known as sleepy-time tea!)

We wonder how the study would have gone had they served Focus Pocus. Why? Because we've taken peppermint and gone two steps further with this one. First, we've added gingko, thought to promote circulation in the brain. To this, we've also added turmeric, believed to promote cognitive benefits thanks to the presence of curcumin, a powerful antioxidant.

For best results, we recommend remembering to sip this one a few times per day. (See what we did there?) Here's to your brain!
