Mighty Leaf Tea — A Scrumptious Giveaway!

I love me some tea!  I could spend all day in a tea store just smelling the smells and looking at the different blends.   In the Cleveland area, we’re in between tea seasons (as in Iced and Hot, lol)  Some days are still warm outside, some are downright frigid… so imagine my surprise when I was offered the opportunity to review some fine teas!

After I sniffed all the beautiful boxes (like a dog at baggage claim) I brewed my first pitcher of Mighty Leaf Tea.   I started first with the Calypso Mango Iced Tea — because let’s face it — that’s a fun name and I’m a fun person.   I’ve never actually made iced tea with a tea bag, normally I make it with a can of powder… so I was SHOCKED at the difference in taste and quality and how much better and more flavorful the home brewed Mighty Leaf was over a can of powder.  Huh!  I didn’t even need to add any sugar, it was a naturally just right taste for me without adding it!

I also must admit that I poured a wee cup to taste it HOT instead of iced and it was realllllly good.   I left the rest in the fridge to cool and decided to make a cup of hot tea.  I opened the pretty little package of three bags and chose Orange Dulce.   It was a dark tea with a hint of orange, vanilla and jasmine blossoms.  OMG.  Very. Very. Good.

I have since made pitchers of all the iced tea blends:

o   Ginger Peach Iced Tea:  A blissful and lightly sweet black iced tea infused with sun-swelled peaches and delicate ginger.

o   Calypso Mango Iced Tea:  A sweet and cooling black iced tea with an indulging blend of South Indian black tea leaves, luscious mango, and tropical fruit.

o   Organic Black Iced Tea:  A flavorful black iced tea made of refreshingly rich and smooth South Indian organic black tea leaves hand-picked on the dewy slopes of the Nilgiri Mountains.

o   Sunburst Green Iced Tea:  A cool and vibrant iced green tea that delivers mountain-grown Chinese green tea leaves  brightened with the crisp taste of ripe oranges and sweet citrus. The lowest in caffeine among all four flavors.

I love them all and cannot choose a favorite… but MAYBE YOU CAN!  Mighty Leaf Tea Company is offering one of my readers a Bodum Iced Tea Pitcher and FOUR BOXES of Iced Tea!  (value: $75)  *This would also be an AWESOME gift for someone — the holidays are coming!

My cool new signs!

Since my husband and I operate a few businesses… some to let our family actually eat… some for fun… lol…. we often look for good quality signage to display on our vehicles.  Let me tell you it’s not easy.  We’ve gone through several different companies, over the 15 years that we’ve had a window cleaning company, looking for good magnetic signs for the truck.   Either they are too flimsy or they weather too fast.   I think we’ve finally found a place we’re happy with!

Build-A-Sign offered me a few samples to check out and tell you about.  The thickness of the magnet is incredible!  No flying off on the highway, that’s for sure!  (And I know this because I rode around on the highway every day for a week before posting this).

If you are looking for inexpensive signage for whatever… even your blog… I’d check this place out if I were you.  Very good prices too! You design everything right online and it’s very simple and quick.

Enlarge to see how nice these came out!  I also got a couple of window decals that are amazing! Pics to follow, I’ve been too busy to get them up yet, but WOW they are nice!
These MAGNETIC Bumper stickers generated business on the first couple days I had them on the cars.  After two days of driving around with these on, our window cleaning business got 4 estimates (and subsequent jobs) and my Zen blog got 41 additional subscribers!  I know, crazy right?

 

GIVEWAY! Win a beautiful canvas print!
