Thanks Simplicity Teas for sending a gift box to review! All thoughts and opinions are my own. |
When I was in seminary, our classmates joked that there were two kinds of caffeine people consumed in the morning: coffee drinkers or diet coke drinkers. Looking across desks during 8:00 or 9:00 AM classes often portrayed a wide variety of coffee mugs and/ or tumblers.. or even cans. Yet, I argue there are really three types of caffeine addicts out there.
Hot tea drinkers, while in the minority in the south (after all, who doesn't love a refreshing glass of sweet tea?) do actually exist across the country. My mom is one of those people. As a child, I watched her warm up her water in the microwave, quickly steeping her tea as she ate breakfast and prepared to go to work.
For me, tea was that drink of choice when I had an upset stomach, so I didn't care much for it when I turned older. Until, I moved to England. Yep, that's right. I had proper English teas that carried me away into the land of teas.. and while I'm still mostly a morning coffee drinker, I can't resist a good cup of tea. For me, teas are usually the afternoon pick- me- up, the "it's freezing outside" warm drink, or an evening relaxation drink.. and yes, I still drink hot tea when I'm not feeling well or slightly "off".
Whatever your routine is: morning, mid- afternoon, evening.. Simplicity Teas has something for you and your mom! Now, my mom still loves her teabags and microwaved water, but I prefer the traditional approach. Boil a kettle of water and pour over loose tea, letting it steep and create wonderful flavors.
Simplicity sent me the Gift Tea Box to try out. This deluxe tea box arrives with 4 wonderful teas plus a surprise tea infuser. For tea newbies: place loose leaf tea into an infuser, then into your cup to steep. No tea leaves to fish out this way! I also love the simply packaging and design of the box too!
My surprise infuser was a strawberry silicone infuser! It's so fun to use!
This is a one time gift-box that will offer a variety of teas. This go- round, my teas included:
- Mindful Moringa: Moringa is a superfood that helps our brains!
- Key Lime: Great iced or hot
- Almond Oolong: Midday Digestive
- Lady Lavender: Simplicity's Signature Flavor!
What's even better about Simplicity teas is that they aim to help in the health of the tea-drinker! From indigestion, to skin issues, to sleep aids.. Simplicity teas will create calmness and inspire your internal system to optimal health.
Using unique flavors and great ingredients, get your next cuppa ready with a great infuser, some hot water, and wonderful loose leaf teas! Offering one time purchases or subscriptions, the tea- lover Mom in your family will never run out and will always be able to find their favorite flavor!
Any of them!
