BloomWellYes, if both cups attach to fixed anchors you already have. The maker positions one after waking and one after dinner, so neither lands inside work hours.
Yes, a twice-daily tea is realistic on a full work schedule, but only because neither cup has to happen at work. The morning cup rides on something you already do before leaving. The evening cup rides on dinner. Nothing lands in the middle of your calendar.
That framing matters more than motivation. Research on habit formation by Lally and colleagues, summarized by Gardner, Lally and Wardle in the British Journal of General Practice in 2012, found automaticity plateaued around 66 days of daily repetition, with wide variation between people and behaviours.
The same review reported something reassuring for anyone with a packed diary. Missing the occasional opportunity did not seriously impair habit formation, and gains resumed after one missed performance. A skipped cup on a chaotic Tuesday is not the end of the routine.
The maker of All Day Slimming Tea suggests three servings daily, with a morning cup after waking and an evening cup after dinner. The package holds 30 morning bags and 30 evening bags, so the format itself is already split around the two ends of a day rather than spread through it.
For the morning cup, that means finding an existing anchor rather than an extra alarm. Most people already boil water, make coffee, or wait for a shower. A tea bag steeps in the minutes that anchor already burns, which is why it survives a workday better than a step that needs its own slot.
Gardner and colleagues describe exactly this mechanism: habits form when a behaviour is repeated in a consistent context, so the cue does the remembering for you. Attaching the cup to a fixed morning event is doing what that 2012 review recommends, not improvising.
“When you buy a twice-daily tea you are not buying a product, you are agreeing to a cadence. The cadence is what runs out, and adherence is what decides whether it survives a full working week.”
This is the fair question for anyone who gets home late. Caffeine timing has been measured directly. Drake and colleagues, publishing in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine in 2013, gave 400 mg of caffeine at 0, 3, or 6 hours before bed and tracked total sleep time.
Even the 6-hour dose cut sleep by more than an hour, and the three timings did not differ much from each other. That is a strong argument for reading the label of whatever you drink late, because the dose and the hour both matter and neither is obvious from the box.
On this specific product, the maker lists the evening blend as senna, licorice root, peppermint, fennel, orange peel, cinnamon bark, dandelion, lemongrass and ginger, with the green and oolong sitting in the morning blend instead. Those are the maker's own ingredient lists, not our assessment of them.
"Missing the occasional opportunity to perform the behaviour did not seriously impair habit formation, and automaticity gains soon resumed after one missed performance, per Gardner and colleagues."
Here is the part most reviews skip. When you buy a twice-daily tea you are not buying a product, you are agreeing to a cadence, and the cadence is what runs out. Sixty bags at two a day is roughly a month, which is why supply is sold in months rather than units.
The maker sells 2, 3 and 6 month supplies at $158, $207 and $294, and offers a 60-day money-back window. Those are the maker's terms, published on the maker's own page. BloomWell did not create this tea and makes no health claim about what it does.
Read that alongside the 66-day figure and the arithmetic gets interesting. A one-month trial ends before most habits reach automaticity, which is one reason a routine can feel like effort right up to the point people quit it. Adherence, not enthusiasm, is what decides whether a two-cup rhythm survives.
Some workdays genuinely resist this. Rotating shifts move both anchors, so the morning cup and the after-dinner cup stop landing at fixed times. The 2012 review is explicit that consistent context is what builds automaticity, and a schedule that changes weekly removes that consistency.
Long commutes and late dinners create a different problem. If dinner regularly ends within six hours of your bedtime, the Drake findings suggest you should look hard at what is actually in the evening cup before making it nightly, rather than assuming any tea is neutral at night.
One caution outranks any routine advice. Herbal blends are not inert, and the evening list on this product includes senna, a stimulant laxative that is not intended for open-ended daily use. If you take prescription medication, are pregnant, or manage a bowel condition, ask your doctor before starting.
This article is editorial, not medical advice. It describes where a twice-daily habit fits in a working day and what published research says about habit formation and caffeine timing. It does not evaluate whether any tea is right for your body. Only a clinician who knows your history can do that.
If you can only name one, the routine will most likely become a once-a-day habit, and that is worth knowing before you buy months of supply. BloomWell earns a commission if you buy through our link.

Automaticity plateaued after an average of 66 days of daily repetition, with considerable variation across people and behaviours, per habit-formation research reviewed in a UK general practice journal. [1]
One cup rides your wake-up routine, one rides dinner. Neither needs a work slot.
Habit research puts automaticity near 66 days, well past a one-month supply.
Caffeine six hours before bed still cost over an hour of sleep in trials.
| Cup | Anchor | Time cost | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | After waking | Steeps while you dress | Rushed exits |
| Evening | After dinner | Sits with the meal | Late dinners |
| Midday | No fixed anchor | Needs its own slot | Nothing to attach it to |
The maker positions one cup after waking and one after dinner, so both sit outside working hours by design. Moving the evening cup earlier is a question for your doctor, not an editorial call.
Habit research summarized in the British Journal of General Practice found automaticity plateaued around 66 days on average, with wide variation. Roughly two months, not two weeks.
That same 2012 review reported missing the occasional opportunity did not seriously impair habit formation, and automaticity gains resumed after one missed performance. One skipped cup is not a reset.
Depends entirely on what is in it. Research in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found 400 mg of caffeine six hours before bed still cut sleep by over an hour. Read the label and ask your doctor.
No. BloomWell is an editorial brand, not a medical provider. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, cures, or prevents any condition, and every product claim belongs to the maker.
Readers weighing a routine against the 66-day habit curve are the ones we point toward the maker's longer supply options.
