My Thoughts:

I'll admit that I have a sweet tooth! When the holidays come around I am ready to dig into my favorite seasonal recipes. However, trying to stay on point with my health needs and not over do it with sugary treats is harder this time of year. Thanks to Hungry Girl and Red Rose, they have created a must have tea line for sweet lovers just like me! With flavors like Caramel Apple Pie, Strawberry Cheesecake, Lemon Cake and Blueberry Muffin, no matter what your favorite dish is you are covered by Red Rose Sweet Temptations!

I was amazed by the accurate flavors of these teas. If you are concerned about health risks, fear not! Sweet Temptations are caffeine free, herbal, zero calorie, naturally flavored and only lightly sweetened with Stevia. You'll be able to enjoy all your favorite bakery treats without any guilt!

After enjoying a cup at night as a treat with my official Red Rose mug added in to my delivery, I decided to try and see what special mixes I could make. I loved mixing up a tablespoon of honey into my Blueberry Muffin tea. It was scrumptious! I also adored making my own dessert by adding a touch of chocolate syrup into the Strawberry Cheesecake and a bit of cinnamon into the Caramel Apple Pie! These teas are perfect for your recipe making! 

If you're looking for a savory treat for yourself or a loved one this holiday season, look no further than Red Rose Sweet Temptations!

Enjoy Some Well-Deserved "Me Time".

Imagine that you've just turned in that big project (phew!) or adjusted your kids to Back-to-School routine, and come to peace with summer ending. Now it’s time to take a deep breath and savor the moment. Treat yourself to some "me time" while sipping a cup of Twinings Camomile, Honey & Vanilla.

• Camomile, Honey & Vanilla: A soothing blend with pure camomile and the naturally sweet flavors of honey and vanilla to deliver a smooth tea with a creamy aroma and velvety taste.

At the end of a busy day you deserve to reset yourself to help you get ready for what’s next in your life.

My Thoughts:

I am a huge tea lover. Nothing makes me feel better when I need to relax or have a healthy pick me up than a nice, rejuvenating cup of tea. Two of my favorite flavors are honey and vanilla. Seeing Twinings introduce a Camomile variety with both was such an exciting moment! Camomile is one of my favorite types of tea to sit back and relax with. The addition of sweet honey and savory vanilla makes this an herbal tea lovers dream.

When I usually make tea I add honey or a tiny sprinkle of sugar, but I did not need that with this flavor of Twinings. It had a great flavor that had a nice full body taste that was not too sweet, but just sweet enough to enjoy. I felt nice and calm as I sipped this through the day. It was the perfect mid day pick me up or a late night relaxation addition.

If you are a fan of tea, I highly recommend Twinings Camomile, Honey & Vanilla.

Product Review: Davidson's Organic Teas

I've recently gotten into drinking hot tea, so I was excited to try this organic brand. The teas come in a variety of flavors, with eight bags in each of the boxes I received. I chose to try the apple cinnamon, pumpkin spice, wild strawberry, and the green tea with lemon and ginseng.

The flavors sounded great, and according to my husband, smelled wonderful. Sadly, I found that they were lacking in the actual taste. The apple cinnamon was the most flavorful in my opinion, with the green tea/lemon/ginseng coming in second. The taste was strongest for me when the tea cooled down enough to chug it. The worst for me was the pumpkin spice. When I tried to chug it to see if it would give more flavor like the apple cinnamon, it burned my throat. 

Overall, these are good if you are looking to get the benefits of tea while being assured of organic standards, but don't have expectations of big flavor.
