PEOPLE LOVE TEA!

So when Steeped Tea seller Jessica Wismer offered me some tea to review...
Well who am I to turn down potentially wonderful tea, right?

So Steeped Tea is a Canadian company, which a direct sales model. In 2012, the appeared on Dragon's Den, which is pretty exciting stuff for a small business!




Their website is bright and easy to navigate and the have 2 easy to view versions of their catalogue.

In their catalogue, you'll find a pretty big selection of teas!
They are organized into categories: Fruit, Black, ORGANIC, Green, Lattes, Wellness and go on to a selection of tea infusers, tea accessories etc. They also host lots of other things besides tea, such as spices and cake mixes.

I will admit, I am now partial to organic tea, as I'm concerned about the health of our bees (and ourselves) and personally think organic is the way to go when we can. So it's fantastic they are offering that option (when many others don't.)

I was given two teas to try, the first I tried was Summer Sun Mate. The ingredients are listed as Green Mate, Hibiscus and natural flavours. If you aren't aware Mate tea is a traditional South American type of tea (it's the national drink of Argentina!) that is known for it's 'cleaner feeling' form of caffeine. So they say you get the benefits of wakefulness, without the typical drawbacks you might get from regular caffeine. Like all teas it can be enjoyed warm or cold.

I tried my cup warm and it had an easy to drink mellow taste, no noticeable strong caffeine feeling.
Since summer is here I plan to drink it quite often cold and as I think it's mellow flavour would allow me to experiment putting lemon and other fruits in it!

The second tea I tried was called Barry Mania and it's ingredients are listed as Hibiscus, elderberries, dried currents, natural flavours. To the eye, this pretty tea is a deep purple!
It was berry fruity and delicious and I'm sure takes as good cold and it does hot.
I also used this this tea in combination with other teas to give them a fruity kick!

Overall this would be a fun catalogue to get a gift through or peruse if you are a tea lover.
You are sure to find something you want to try!
