Mighty Leaf Tea Giveaway

I love tea, in case you haven’t noticed.  I especially love a hot mug of chai with some milk and sweetener.  But in the summer, it isn’t the most fitting for the weather. And I turn to iced tea. So when Mighty Leaf offered to send me a sampling of their whole leaf iced tea line, of course I accepted!

I don’t typically purchase tea that is especially intended for iced tea, choosing instead to make my own, but these flavors were too difficult to resist!  And like their regular teas, Mighty Leaf’s iced teas come in larger sachets with larger pieces, giving you a higher-quality tea.  I was sent these flavors:

Sunburst Green. Loved the citrus zing.

Ginger Peach. I love the combination of ginger and peach flavors.

Calypso Mango. Mango is always good, in my opinion.

Organic Black. This is the only one I haven’t tried, but I can’t wait to brew it with some cinnamon and spices for some iced chai!

And as a side note, can I recommend that you mix the Calypso Mango with a little club soda, a squeeze of lime juice and some ice?  Fantastic! :)

Mighty Leaf is being kind enough to offer one Savvy Reader a Summer Brewing Kit!  Winner will receive:

Matcha White Chocolate Shortbread

November 16, 2010

I was on a bit of a cookie-baking kick yesterday. Since the oven was already on and I had to wait for the sugar cookies to cool before decorating, I decided to make up a batch of matcha green tea shortbread using the matcha I received from Mighty Leaf.

The classic buttery shortbread flavor gets a twist from the earthy taste of the tea. If you aren’t a fan of matcha, you may want to decrease the amount of tea to 2 T instead of 3. But definitely leave at least some of it in if you have it, because it adds a depth of flavor when combined with the white chocolate.

Holiday Gifts: Tea

Tea Gifts

I adore tea. That is no secret.

A lot of my friends and family members love tea, too, though maybe not to the crazy extent that I do. So what better handmade holiday gift for them than a sample of my favorite teas?

Making tea gifts like this yourself is simple and doesn’t have to cost much at all!

Whistling Kettle

November 1, 2010

Dan and I spent our weekend in Heather’s little village, figuring we’d keep her company while her ankle healed. There was Rockula, West Wing, and Law and Order involved, along with funfetti cupcakes and handmade pizza. And of course, some craftiness in preparation for Handmade Christmas 2010.

One of the highlights of the weekend? Saturday’s lunch at the Whistling Kettle tea house.
