Holiday Tea (Giveaway)

Tea and books just go together, don't they? As many of you are aware, I love a good cup of tea. Having grown up in the southern half of the country, I must confess to you that I'm partial to iced tea and that's how I typically drink it even if that's "most improper." You might take the girl out of Texas, but its kind of hard to take Texas out of the girl . . . at least wherein iced drinks are concerned. (What I do for iced tea is add an extra tea bag per cup to create a stronger beverage which compensates for all of the ice I unceremoniously add in.)

If I am going to have a nice hot cuppa, its definitely during the holidays or at tea parties. For some reason festive occasions call for warmer beverages in my mind.

One of my favorite flavors during the Christmas season is Republic of Tea's Peppermint Bark which is one of the three teas offered in this Holiday Tea Trio sampler.

In this stackable gift set you'll find 12 tea bags each of the following blends: Dream By the Fire, Comfort and Joy, and Peppermint Bark. As I mentioned, Peppermint Bark is one of my favorite blends and, let me tell you, it makes a terrific tasting tea latte! Dream By the Fire is a lovely herbal blend of cinnamon and vanilla that is also quite delicious. I haven't tried Comfort and Joy but any black tea boasting cinnamon and cloves generally has my attention. When it comes to gift giving, I'm a fan of the tea samplers because it offers more variety. A friend of mine gave me a chai sampler set once upon a time and I absolutely loved it because I was able to try multiple varieties.

Republic of Tea is my go-to when it comes to fun and wonderful flavors of tea. If you haven't ever tried them then I highly recommend you do and am happier still to give away one of the above Holiday Tea Trios to one of you.
