Thursday is a specific kind of tired. Not the sharp tiredness that hits on Monday morning, and not the loose, relieved feeling that Friday afternoon brings. Thursday is the slow-accumulation kind — the week has been asking things of you for four days, and you're not quite at the finish line yet.
We've been making a fall chai latte at the shop most mornings this week as the temperatures start to drop in Loveland. It takes about five minutes. It smells like the season. And it's become a small ritual worth looking forward to before the day picks up.
The Recipe
Steep a strong black tea — a chai blend, Assam, or plain black tea all work. Let it go 4 to 5 minutes so you get something with real flavor. Add half a cup of oat or whole milk, warmed on the stovetop or in the microwave. A pinch of cinnamon, a crack of black pepper if you want the traditional chai kick, and a small spoon of honey.
While the drink is still hot, stir in your drops. We've been reaching for the CBDfx CBD + CBG Oil Wellness Tincture (5) — a broad-spectrum formula that pairs CBD and CBG in a 2:1 ratio, with curcumin and CoQ10 also in the mix. The flavor is mild enough that it disappears into the spice. Half a dropper is a good starting point. A full dropper if you've been using tinctures for a while.
Drink it somewhere that isn't your desk. Even if it's just a different chair.
The CBG Part Worth Knowing
CBG gets a lot of questions at the shop. It's not the same thing as CBD — it's a different cannabinoid, often called the "mother cannabinoid" because the hemp plant produces it before converting it into CBD and others. In practice, what people tend to notice with CBG is a clearer, more grounded daytime quality.
That's why the CBD+CBG Wellness Tincture is one we tend to recommend specifically for morning use. Paired with the warmth of a chai and five minutes of actual quiet, it's a solid way to set the tone before Thursday afternoon asks things of you.
If You Want to Lean Into the Turmeric Angle
Turmeric is already a traditional chai ingredient. If the warming-spice direction is what you're drawn to, the CBDfx CBD Gummies with Turmeric & Spirulina (0) make a natural companion. Each serving pairs broad-spectrum CBD with turmeric — the same warming tradition, just in gummy form. A couple alongside your chai as a daily habit.
We don't always lead with these, but they've been in stock for a while and they work well for people who want the routine to feel deliberate without being complicated.
