Thursday Tea Time - Two-Fer!








A two-fer this week!




Both of these teas are available and on sale right now at Kroger in the organic section -- Polar Berry and Santa Spice.





Number of teabags: 22

Caffeine: Polar Berry -Yes, Santa Spice - No

Type of tea: Polar Berry - Black, Santa Spice Herbal/Red Rooibos

Steeping time: I did 6 minutes

Add ins: A little bit of fat free condensed milk made it really sweet. I also tried it with fat-free evaporated milk and a little bit of sugar and I thought that was better and better for me.

Teabag fragrance: Polar Berry -"Berry" spicy , Santa Spice - Cinnamon and ginger

Ingredients: Polar Berry - Organic and Fair Trade Certified™ black tea, organic cinnamon, organic cranberry, organic allspice, organic hibiscus, organic licorice root

Santa Spice - Organic and Fair Trade Certified™ Rooibos, organic ginger, organic nutmeg, organic cinnamon, organic licorice root, organic chicory root, cinnamon flavor, caramel flavor

Opinion: Polar Berry - Very berry! Santa Spice - A sweet/spicy blend, not astringent at all. It seemed a bit more cinnamon dominating, fine by me!

It all depends upon if you are in a berry good mood (sorry!) or seeking cinnamon toast comforting. Both winners! I also think the tins are adorable and will probably keep them as Christmas decorations in the bookcase. Black tea and Rooibos teas are good for you...so is cinnamon and also hibiscus. Can't decide? Get both!

Rating: 4 - definitely worth finding and buying!
