It is a cold, yucky day in Virginia. The skies are grey and ominous looking and there is a cold wind blowing that cuts right through you. Needless to say, the boys and I are doing indoor activities today. I just happened to peek outside to see if it was raining and I found a box on my front porch. It’s like kismet! Inside this box is the perfect remedy for a cold winter day – a box of “Sweet & Spicy Tea and Herb Blend” from Good Earth Tea.
I immediately began boiling some water. As soon as I put the teabag in to steep, my kitchen was filled with the most mouthwatering scent of cinnamon. My mind went straight to memories of Big Red gum, Red Hot candies, and Valentine’s Day. I actually expected this tea to brew up bright red because the aroma was so strong (it didn’t). After letting my tea cool a bit, I tried my first sip and was surprised at how naturally sweet it is. For most people, it probably doesn’t need any additional sweetener. I’m not most people though. I like my tea sweet, so I added in a little sugar and it was perfect!
A cup of this black tea has the ideal blend of sweet and spicy. The cinnamon aroma is soothing and each sip is sweetly satisfying with a little hint of spices on the tongue. I think it is delicious and I’m sure most would agree!
Along with the fantastic tea, I was also very impressed by the Good Earth Tea as a company. They were one of the first herbal tea companies in America in the 1970s. Their teas contain no sugar, artificial colors or preservatives, are allergen free and do not contain MSG or soy. They are also Kosher certified by the Orthodox Union, and undergo rigorous testing policies for tea and herbs. The company itself has made steps to make their products greener. They reduced the environmental impact of product packaging by removing the plastic wrap from tea boxes. Their cartons are produced on recyclable cardboard and are printed with soy-based inks. The tea bags are unbleached and tea tags are made from recycled products. Lastly, the Good Earth Tea factory is 75% solar energy powered!
If you are a tea lover like me, I highly recommend you take a closer look at Good Earth Tea. Their product line features their original sweet and spicy tea, as well as superfruit, green, chai, black, white, organic, and medicinal teas. Good Earth Tea is available at many retailers throughout the United States, as well as online here. The tea boxes contain either 18 or 25 bags and retail for about $4.79.
