Hot cup of tea
An indoor moment starts on the couch with something warm. At Anne&Max, we have a wide selection of fresh organic teas in tea bags. A cup of tea is good for your body to wake up with and end the day with. Treat yourself to a nice piece of dark chocolate next to it.
Did you know ... the flavors of tea are stronger if you let the tea bag steep for 1 to 2 minutes and do not dip it? If you immerse tea in the hot water very quickly, the tea gets a bit bitter and the flavors do not come out well.
Comfy sweater
A cup of tea warms your hands nicely, but a soft, thick sweater warms you on all sides. Anne&Max has a Planet Friendly hoodie made of organic cotton. This is not only nice for at home, but also for when you have to go out in the rain and want to keep your hair sheltered.
A good book
Light a pretty candle or a small reading light to disappear completely into a book. In our own Koffie Thuis book, we teach you all about making good coffee and what you eat with it. It's a collection of recipes and tips to educate yourself to become a home barista. A fun activity for a rainy Sunday afternoon!
Slow coffee
As much as you want to take a sip of your first coffee: patience is a virtue. Experiment with a different way of brewing coffee. Filter coffee, or as we call slow brew coffee, is a great way to brew coffee. With the Kinto brewing method you pour water on coarsely ground coffee, and the coffee begins to brew. This results in a smooth coffee with sweet and fruity notes.
To go cup
And if you do have to leave the house... take a hot coffee on the go. The reusable Rcup is made from recycled coffee cups that normally end up in landfills. It keeps your drink hot for about 45 minutes (but you'll probably have finished your coffee or tea before then anyway) and doesn't leak into your bag because of its 360-degree drinking opening - also handy if you only have one hand free to open your cup.
Did you know ... most reusable to-go cups cannot themselves be recycled because they contain materials such as silicone? The Rcup is a Planet Friendly choice, because it lasts about ten years and then is simply recycled.
