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.

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?

Did you know that tea is the most consumed beverage in world, surpassing water? In the United States alone, more than 30 million people make a cup of tea part of their daily lives. Tea has a story that reaches far into history, carrying romance and culture with it to our modern times. In ancient China, tea was used as an ice breaker between parents and courting gentlemen, and this practice is still in use today. For the English, tea has been a central part of midday relaxation for centuries. There are countless other examples throughout history and countless occasions for a cup of tea.

Oh How I Love Tea….Let Me Count The Ways:

The love of tea is more than an emotion, but almost a result of the true health benefits of tea. Science has proven folklore to be true, finding the following benefits of tea:

• Flavonoids in tea act as antioxidants that may play a role in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by reducing lipid oxidation, reducing instances of heart attacks, strokes, and may beneficially impact blood vessel function, which is a key indicator of cardiovascular health.
• Tea flavonoids may also reduce the risk of certain cancers by inhibiting mutations in DNA from free radicals and some carcinogens. Tea may also promote the apoptosis (programmed cell death) of abnormal cells and inhibit cell division, reducing the overall growth of abnormal cells.
• Tea has been long associated with oral health and bone health.
• Other compounds in tea have been shown to support the human immune system.
