Mandarin tea cooled by spearmint, green lemon leaf; awake again after lunch.
Three in the afternoon, eyelids drooping: black tea and fresh mandarin are warm, spearmint is sweet and cool, and lush green lemon leaf helps you wake up after lunch. Great for the office, a classroom or a home workspace. Stand up and walk around a bit, drink some water, run the diffuser for 15 minutes, then get back to what you were doing.

On opening. Mandarin (gently sweet, softer than orange); spearmint (sweet and cool, softer than peppermint, with a hint of chewing gum); lemon leaf (green, slightly bitter and very fresh) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.
As it settles. Black tea (steeped, warm and slightly malty) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.
What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.
