“Detox with Tea! Too many cocktail hours can leave your body feeling tired and lifeless and your skin dull and dry.  Keep your body hydrated by sipping one of Village Tea Company’s premium loose-leaf blends.  The Organic White Tea is the perfect solution to help gently cleanse the body of toxins, with only a hint of caffeine.  Or try the Rooibos, one of the most concentrated sources of antioxidants in the world, with ZERO calories, and ZERO caffeine.  These teas have been all over NY Fashion Week, Sundance, and the Grammy’s as the most popular natural pick-me-up for their award winning taste, health benefits, and focus on eco-friendly packaging. With celeb fans like Kristin Bell, Kelis and James Franco… You can’t go wrong.” (Intern city global).

After reviewing the Village Tea Company Royal English Breakfast Black Tea in November of 2009, I welcomed another sample.  This time, I received the Gentle Organic Lemon Ginger Tea to review.  Inside this stylish 3.8oz canister is 35-40 servings of delicious tea.  For $15.95, this tea is a budget-friendly, healthy and relaxing treat. The taste is light and the smell offers an aromatherapeutic effect. Packed in 100% recyclable material and enveloped in three muslin cotton brewing bags, this tea is also eco-fabulous.

I was approached about reviewing the Village Tea Company’s Rooibos. Specifically the Cherry Me Bloom Rooibos with Acai. First order of business with anything new is to check up on what all the fun words mean and apparently this tea like so many others is full of antioxidants and other bits of healthy goodness. Selling points of health marketing aside I wanted to know how it tastes!

Stimulating & Sassy Sassy Green Tea with Acai — Village Tea Co.

OK! Let it be known: I am a HUGE tea person! Yes, I drink other bevvies – Coffee, water, diet soda, of course, but tea is a part of my daily life and will ALWAYS be a part of my day-to-day. What I love about tea is the variety, so many yummy flavors. I can never be bored!

I got 2 teas from Village Tea Co., one being a black tea, the other being a green tea. The first I tried was the green tea, Sassy Green Tea with Acai. I liked it so much than I didn’t even open the black tea until I finished it.Sassy Green has a green tea flavor for sure, but it also is very yummy, kinda sweet and fruity. I couldn’t place my finger on what the fruit flavor was. It tastes kinda tropical-y and juicy. I chocked it up to the acai. This was the first thing I’ve ever tried with the Amazonian super-fruit in it, so I was a bit hyped to try it. I thought to myself, “Oooh acai, yes!” The fruity taste just gave the green tea a more fun, exotic feel to it.
