Enjoying Tea Review and Giveaway Ends 4/18/15

Over the past few years, Happy husband and I have begun drinking hot tea more than ever before. Mike doesn't like coffee and I tend to drink too much of it.  Tea seemed a nice balance for both of us.

Did you know, I didn't have a tea pot? Nope. Just a tea kettle and a handful of miscellaneous tea bags that I had.acquired.

Cruising the web not long ago, I came across a tea company that piqued my interest: Enjoying Tea.  They have the most amazingly varied teas and tea-related items.  I know I spent two hours there looking (and dreaming) about the gorgeous tea sets, tea bags, tea cups, and more.

I contacted the company and they very generously offered to let me review one of their tea sets and a variety of their delicious teas! BLISS!

So many to choose from! It was a truly difficult choice.  I looked for a couple of days, but I always came back to this beautiful Blue with Gold Dragon Phoenix Cast Iron Tea Set.  I love cast iron. From skillets to pans to baking sheets, I love the heaviness and the durability.

This high quality cast iron tea set is the perfect companion for enjoying tea. The traditional dragon and phoenix design symbolizes strength, power, and good fortune in Asian culture. This tea set is made from sturdy iron and has enamel coating on the interior to prevent rusting. Cast ironware heats evenly and retains heat well and is praised worldwide for their beauty, strength, and superb quality. Please note that this cast iron teapot should not be used directly on stove tops to heat water.

During the mid 19th century as infused tea drinking became more popular in Japan, Tetsubin or iron cast teapot evolved from being a kitchen item to being a status symbol used to serve tea. Many nobles cherish their teapots as treasures and are kept in the family for generations.

This set includes the following:

1 teapot (approximate capacity: 650 ml or 22.1 fl oz)
2 teacups (approximate dimension: 3 1/8" dia, 2 1/4" ht)
1 removable stainless tea filter
1 trivet (approximate dimension: 6 1/4" dia)

The removable, reusable stainless tea filter is a great addition (and unexpected).  It makes the brewing of the tea so much easier!

Below, you'll see the trivet. Look at the details of the dragon -- superb!

Next, of course, I had to choose the tea and THAT really was a challenge!  Now, I am a big fan of 

Darjeeling Black Tea but I wanted to try something new. Happy Husband and I both like Green tea, so I decided to focus my attentions there.

I finally decided, since Spring is here, to try the fruit flavoured green tea sampler!

This is the perfect tea sampler for people who want to try our fine quality fruit flavored green tea at an affordable price. This Tea Sampler includes 6 samples of our Fruit Flavored Green Tea. You will get between 0.9 oz and 1.2 oz per sample, depending on the leaf size of the tea. Each tea each will come in its own square tin canister, which will all be housed in a presentable, decorative box. This Sampler Set is perfect for gift giving.

Mango Green Tea

Strawberry Green Tea

Lemon Green Tea

Apple Green Tea

Lichee Jasmine Green Tea

Cherry Rose Kyoto Sencha

These teas are scrumptious... delicious... enticing... it takes drinking tea to a higher level of enjoyment.

Mighty Leaf Tea -- Review & Giveaway -- Ends 8/30/11

We are tea drinkers in the South and my house is no different. Sweet iced tea is a staple all year 'round.

This year has been a bit different for us, however, because we've grown tired of the same-old-same-old tea.

We switched to Green Tea in May but we've been wanting to experiment with new flavours for quite a while.

Mighty Leaf Tea caught my eye a few weeks ago. The blends offered looked so tempting that I really wanted to give it try.

I was tickled pink when the package came with my Tea and my new Bodum Tea Pitcher!

The Bodum Tea Pitcher makes brewing up your Mighty Leaf Iced Tea so easy!

Mike and I have really enjoyed trying the new iced tea blends. The fragrance of the tea in the silky bags is just incredible: dense aroma that permeates the kitchen. I have never in my life smelled a tea (or coffee for that matter) that literally awakens your senses like Mighty Leaf Tea.

My first tea to brew was the heady blend of the Calypso Mango -- it's like brewing up an exotic Jamaican Garden! It smells so nice and the taste is so clean and refreshing. The mango... the hints of citrus and spice... it's so relaxing. I am, in fact, sipping on a tall glass of it right now. :)

Our Calypso Mango Iced Tea is an indulging blend of luscious mango and tropical fruit that drenches South Indian black tea leaves. A sweet and cooling fresh-brewed iced tea with a rich, amber hue.

Even though it's blended for iced tea, I actually discovered that I like this as hot tea, too.

I suffer with TMJ and had a fairly bad bout the other night, I brewed some tea and rather than waiting for it to cool, I poured a cup and added a bit of sugar. The taste was so lovely and it was so comforting that I was able to relax. I can't tell you how much it helped.

Mike is partial to the Sunburst Green Tea -- he loves it sweet and cold. Mike's out in the field all day and when he comes home, he wants a big glass of sweet tea.

Our Sunburst Green Iced Tea whole leaf pouches deliver the crisp taste of sun ripened oranges and sweet citrus that brighten mountain-grown Chinese green tea leaves. A cool and vibrant fresh brewed iced green tea with a light emerald hue.

My Mom is partial to the tried-and-true Black Tea. So she was delighted to try the Organic Black Tea -- it has a very smooth flavour and is perfectly suited the South and our love of sweet tea!

Our Organic Black Iced Tea is made of refreshingly rich and smooth south Indian organic black tea leaves. Hand-picked on the dewy slopes of the Nilgiri mountains, these vibrant organic tea leaves unleash a fresh iced tea with dark amber hue.

Last, but not least, we tried the Ginger Peach -- very appealing to this Georgia born and bred girl!

Ginger Peach Iced Tea Whole Leaf Pouches is made from sun-swelled peaches and delicate ginger that infuse a refreshing blend of Indian black tea leaves. A blissful and lightly sweet fresh-brewed iced tea with a golden hue.

The Peach flavour (and aroma) is deep and soft. It doesn't over-power the subtle hint of ginger at all. This is a bright, fresh tea -- perfect for these blistering hot Savannah days (and nights). This was our all-round favourite. No doubt.

What makes Mighty Leaf Tea so amazing?

In ancient traditions around the world, a freshly brewed pot filled with whole tea leaves is revered as the richest in character. Inspired by this legacy, Mighty Leaf specially created the silken Tea Pouch filled with the world’s finest whole tea leaves, herbs, fruits and flavor too big for ordinary tea bags. Discover why the Mighty Leaf Tea Pouch is extraordinary and unrivalled.
