Audrey’s Give Away’s: Reviews Village Tea Co.

Mobile Teapot & Tea Giveaway
I seem to have developed a fondness for tea. Don’t get me wrong – I still like my coffee (black), but tea comes in so many amazing flavors and doesn’t keep me up at night :) Tea used to be my hot drink of choice when I had a cold, but now I seem to be having a cup, or two, every evening.

Village Tea Company sent me this wonderful package to try, tell you about and they even offered to do a give away. The package included a Mobile Teapot and 5 different teas to try.

The larger container is Sweet Grace Vanilla. It includes to bags of loose tea and 10 – 100% natural paper filters so I can make my own tea bags. The smaller teaser packs are Cherry Me Bloom, Organic Lemon Ginger Green Tea,Sassy Green Tea, and Simply Earl Grey. Each teaser is packed in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging!! LOVE the Cherry one!! The other teas have wonderful flavors also, but for some reason the Cherry is my favorite :) I really need to convince my husband to try the lemon ginger one – it would be great for his cold.
The Mobile Teapot is amazing! You place your loose tea in the pot, add boiling water (about 1.5 cups) and let it sit for 5 minutes or so. It has a wonderful reusable filter so you don’t get the tea leaves when you drink, though they do seem to mostly settle to the bottom in about 5 minutes time. The container is plastic, but even after adding the boiling water and waiting, it’s not hot just nice and warm. I was a little worried that I wouldn’t be able to hold the pot, but was quite surprised how it holds the heat in, but the container stays a nice temperature. Every evening I have to go play with the dogs in our boarding kennel and have started taking the teapot with me :) It’s a great way to stay warm on a cool evening outside.

If you are a tea drinker and like to take it with you – I would highly recommend getting the Mobile Teapot, and also the tea from Village Tea Company.

Village Tea Company Review
I just love herb teas! And Rooibos Tea’s are a type of herb tea. I was excited when I contacted Village Tea Company and they let me pick 2 teas for a review. That was when I did a little research and found that Rooibos tea is not even made with tea leaves. I was excited about that!

Village Tea Company has a large selection of teas to choose from and they come in these nice little canisters! The tea comes as loose tea in a bag and then you just put it into the little tea packets.

Sweet Grace Vanilla Rooibos Tea is a really nice flavorful fruity blend. I shared this with with Jennie when I was visiting and she loved it! I like to add a little spenda and milk to my teas.
Cherry Me Blossom Rooibos Tea with Acai~ Jennie and I both loved this one, and it’s my favorite of the two! How many cups of tea are to many in a day?

Be sure and check out all the great flavors of tea they have at Village Tea Company. Fall is in the air and it’s just the right time to sip some nice warm tea!
