If you live hygge, you can enjoy the fresh winter air with a walk in the forest or by the sea. You look forward to the comfort of your own home all the more. We love spending time at home on cold days. Preferably with a good book, conversations that make us happy, or simply relaxing on the sofa for a few hours. The best way to do this is to snuggle up in a blanket and dress warmly.

Tea time is hygge living

Hygge Living is making yourself comfortable at home with a book, light music and a cup of tea, enjoying a good meal and talking to the family: The Tea time belongs to us in autumn and winter. Often it is the simple things in everyday life that make us happy - hyggelig, as the Danes call it. According to the happiness researcher Meik Wiking, it's all about conscious experience and enjoyment. Especially in the current time you should press the stop button from everyday life and try to create little happy moments that you will remember fondly.

Taste nature with tea blends

It can help to appeal to your senses as much as possible. Not just seeing, but also hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. This works particularly well in nature: get out into the fresh air, listen to the birdsong, walk on moss, smell wildflowers. At home you can then make yourself comfortable on the sofa - and taste nature with a tea blend. Well-being and a good mood come about automatically.

These tea accessories provide a Hygge Living feeling at home

It's not just the types of tea that are important for you to enjoy your tea. For the Danes, the trappings also play a role. Tea with rum or with kluntjes (candy canes) tastes even better when you drink it from cups that are pleasant to the touch. If there is also a teapot that provides a cozy atmosphere, the tea hour is even more enjoyable. It is even more beautiful when you create a hyggeline atmosphere with candlelight.

Enjoy the scent - forget the stress

The selection of herbal teas is large, so you can vary your hygge living according to your taste preferences and mood. The composition of fragrant ingredients such as cinnamon, lemon balm and chamomile, cloves, lavender and orange blossoms make it easier to forget stress and hectic life. The tea tastes particularly delicious with waffles with fruit or a warm cinnamon roll.

Take time for yourself

The hygge living feeling can also come about by doing things for which you normally don't have enough time. For example paint or do handicrafts, rummaging around in old photos or sharing fresh ingredients and spices with the family in the kitchen conjure up delicious dishes. Good conversations arise naturally.

For example, we started cooking together. We try out new recipes from the countries we get to know on our travels. This is how our recipe collection comes into being regional recipes from all over the world. But we don't just take time to cook. We remember the experiences on our travels and revive them in conversations. We have spent many a relaxing winter day doing this.

I also like to dig for books that are set in these countries. With a warm blanket over my legs, I snuggle up on our sofa and reminisce about the Provence or others Destinations.
