Could Titanium Tea be a great alternative to coffee for hard-working teachers or anyone in any profession?
Do you endeavour to seek out healthier options in your food…yet still always seem to drink too much coffee? Titanium Tea could be a much healthier and effective alternative to coffee.

Here is a video all about Titanium Tea by Tim Ferriss below:
What is Titanium Tea (Bulletproof Tea?)
Tim Ferriss, writer of the 4 Hour Body, adapted Bulletproof Coffee (coffee with Coconut Oil) into his version – Titanium Tea.
Tea with butter and coconut oil
It consists of:

This creates a high caffeine tea that gets absorbed slowly into the body due to the fats in the grass fed butter and coconut oil.
It's also worth keeping in mind that a small pocket-sized blender is going to be really helpful for a teacher on the go, as the drink requires a thorough mixing.
You can use a spoon – but a drinks frother is recommended by serious Titanium Tea drinkers the world over.
Bulletproof Coffee Coconut Oil
One of the key ingredients in this delicious tea is, of course, the coconut oil.
Without it, you might as well be drinking fatty tea…
However, the original concept was ‘Bulletproof Coffee', where coconut oil was used in a morning coffee instead of milk or cream. But many will want an alternative energizer to coffee, which can often leave people feeling too wired.
Teachers starting their day with this coconut oil in their drinks always stay ‘on-the-go' much longer, and this Titanium Tea is the best recipe for incorporating the coconut oil in a way that's both delicious and good for you.
The coconut oil helps to give the tea its distinctive taste, and goes a long way towards waking you up in the morning.
The oil itself isn't difficult to get hold of – look below for some of examples:
Viva Naturals Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
This oil is made from fresh, organic coconuts and is often touted as being one to keep in mind when crafting your own Titanium Tea. It has that distinctive taste we know and love, without the difficulty of having to crack it open yourself.
Jarrow Formulas Coconut Oil
This solvent-free oil is ideal for cooking and baking. If you're looking to add a little extra taste to your morning Titanium Tea then this is a real contender.
Golden Barrel Coconut Oil
This non-hydrogenated oil is perfect for frying, cooking, or baking. Throw some of this into your Titanium Tea and you'll be starting off the day the right way.
Coconut Oil Sprayer Dispenser
This spray dispenser is not limited to coconut oil, but can actually be used with pretty much any oil you can think of. It's great for those who don't want to be overpowered by the flavour of coconut, and just want a fine misting on the top of their morning tea.
High Caffeine Tea
Titanium tea is high in caffeine, meaning you don't want to be sipping it in the run up to bed time…
Some prefer a calming alternative in the evenings. Kanna tea, derived from the South African plant Sceletium tortuosum, is traditionally used to promote relaxation and emotional well-being. Discover more about kanna tea and its benefits in this kanna tea guide.
But if you're looking for something to give you a kick-start in the morning then this could be your go-to drink of choice.
If you're teaching in the classroom all day or have an early morning webcam lesson on Cambly, then a strong hit of caffeine is going to make the day run smoother.

Apple Cider Vinegar Honey Drink Recipe
This delicious drink is the perfect compliment to the Titanium Tea.
The tea keeps you active and alert throughout the day, but it caffeine can leave you a little amped-up in the evening.
Apple Cider Vinegar with Honey can mellow you out in the evening, and is the perfect counter to the energising affects of the tea – perfect for a good night's sleep.
Here is Tim Ferriss once again. He talks about apple cider vinegar with honey in his evening routine video:
It's a relatively simple drink to make…
…and as long as you have all of the ingredients then a Lingostar teacher on-the-go will find this to be a great start to their day.
You'll need to start with 16 oz of warm water, and add 1 tablespoon of honey. It's important to stir this until the honey dissolves, and not add any further ingredients until the honey is completely gone.
Now, you add 2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1/2 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
Mix the drink until it reaches a consistency you find appealing, the more you stir the smoother the drink will be.
Then you simply drink at your leisure.
Of course, the longer you leave the drink sit the cooler it will get – so if you fancy a refreshingly cold drink then let it sit a while after you've made it. It's good hot or cold.
This is one of the most popular brands:
