February’s Valentines Tea Box
The last few months we’ve been rolling out the Themed Tea Boxes, so for February we decided to do a Valentine’s Tea Box. This month we are featuring the winner of the “Earl Grey Challenge,” Rishi’s Lavender Earl Grey that stole the hearts of our members. Dried lavender is the perfect complement to the sweet citrus full-bodied Early Grey. Numi’s enchanted White Rose blends smoothness with sweet and fragrant rose buds, making for a tea that is as provocative as it is healthy. Ahh, the Strawberry Champagne, a tea that brings a sweet and seductive flavour with a breeze of champagne. And if all else fails, the Organic Rooibos Chai will definitely spice up your night. Look for a special offer by Panties by Post inside your tea box. Thanks so much and hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day.

Organic Chai Rooibos
Description: A unique blend of Rooibos and six organic spices produces a calming, naturally caffeine free tea. Hand blended on Cortes Island in small batches with the freshest ingredients.
Ingredients: Rooibos Tea, ginger, cinnamon, fennel, cardamom, cloves and black pepper.
Health Benefits: This incredibly flavoured caffeine-free tea is growing quickly in popularity but did you know that it also contains high amounts of antioxidants? Although the antioxidants found in rooibos tea are different from those in green tea, they are still known to fight off free radicals in the body. Rooibos tea is also known to fight off cardiovascular disease, liver disease and lower blood pressure.
Jenny, “Fantastic ginger delicious herbal chai. Add milk and sugar, the best decaf chai I’ve ever tasted.”
Organic Lavender Earl Grey
Description: The floral aroma of lavender is perhaps the perfect complement to the sweet citrus and full-bodied flavor of Earl Grey.
Ingredients: Organic Fair Trade Certified™ black tea, Organic lavender flowers, natural essential oils of bergamot and lavender.
Health Benefits: Most people don’t realize black tea comes with many of the similar health benefits as green tea, including reduced risk of stroke and heart disease, among many others. As well, black tea is said to increase energy, aid in digestive health and to promote healthy skin and hair. Black tea’s tannins are also great immunity-boosters.
Michael, “A bold, strong and fragrant tea that can hold its own. A new favourite for me.”
Strawberry-Champagne
Description: Sweet and seductive aromatic fruit flavour with a breeze of champagne!
Ingredients: Sencha green tea, carrot pieces, pineapple pieces (pineapple, sugar), strawberries, cornflowers, sunflowers, natural flavour.
Health Benefits: By now, the health benefits of green tea have been well-established. Here are just a few of the reasons we love it so much: it’s been shown to fight cancer and heart disease, lower cholesterol, prevent diabetes and stroke and to fight infection. It’s tough to beat that!
Zeta, “The Strawberry tropical smell while brewing is great, but the taste is so sophisticated.”
Organic White Rose
Description: Our enchanted White Rose blends the smoothness of delicate, organic white tea with whole organic rose buds. This sweet and fragrant liaison is as provocative as it is healthy.
Ingredients: Fair trade certified organic white tea and organic rose.
Health Benefits: Because the white tea leaves are virtually undisturbed from their natural state when they are picked, they maintain a higher amount of antioxidants than their cousins, green and black teas. Some other interesting facts about white tea: it helps promote dental health as well as building a stronger immune system.
Darcy, “Light and lovely. I could drink this all day. So refreshing!”
