PEPPERMINT BARK Sips by TEBELLA TEA

peppermint-bark

The holiday season just isn’t complete without indulgent chocolatey-minty peppermint bark. This top-selling holiday blend from TeBella Tea is modeled after this classic Christmas confection, and tastes just like the real thing. Rich, creamy black tea is blended with cacao nibs, peppermint and crushed candies for a festive touch.

TeBella Tea is a loose leaf tea retailer in Tampa Bay, FL that was founded in 2010 by Abigail StClair. They offer a thoughtfully sourced loose tea collection with a heaping helping of tea education – they love sharing their passion for tea with their customers! TeBella Tea’s goal is to show people that making loose leaf tea is accessible, simple, and that the ritual is half the fun. They also work directly with tea gardens and estates that use sustainable, fair-trade practices. In the last three years, Abigail has visited tea gardens in India, Japan, Sri Lanka, and China to foster those partnerships. As part of their commitment to sustainability, they also donate their used tea leaves (for composting) to local community gardens, including a non-profit that operates teaching gardens at area public schools.

CARDAMOM FRENCH TOAST Sips by DAVIDSTEA

cardamom-french-toast

French toast is a rich and soul-warming breakfast that many people like to wake up to - especially when the weather is cold. This sweet and buttery cardamom-spiced black tea with a dusting of cinnamon sugar from DAVIDsTEA is just like the decadent breakfast.

Cardamom French Toast is a perfect brunch tea - drink it straight up or enjoy latte-style (we recommend using oat milk and maple syrup!). Check out this recipe for Cardamom & Coffee French Toast Latte, which includes optional coffee liqueur.

DAVIDsTEA opened their first store in 2008 in Toronto, Canada, with a mission to provide great tea, friendly stores and above-and-beyond customer service. Today they have over 240 stores across Canada and the United States, providing over 150 types of teas, including exclusive blends, limited edition seasonal collections, traditional straight teas and exotic infusions from around the globe.

CACAO TEA Sips by MICACAO

cacao-tea

Chocolate lovers, this one is for you! A healthy hot chocolate alternative, this tea is mild yet tasty, packed with antioxidants, mood-boosting, and naturally caffeine-free so you can enjoy it any time of day. Sip as an after-dinner tea, blend into your morning smoothie, or add to baked goods!

The cacao bean is found inside the pulp of the cacao fruit, and is the raw ingredient for chocolate. Cacao tea is produced from the shell, which is often discarded when chocolate is made. Just like the skin of a baked potato, the shell actually has more nutrients than the stuff on the inside! Cacao is rich in antioxidants (40x the amount in blueberries), and is caffeine-free yet has a mood-enhancing effect due to theobromine (caffeine’s calming younger brother).

MiCacao is a Veteran-owned small business specializing in Cacao Tea. They ethically source cacao, ensuring farmers receive fair wages, and provide them with an additional revenue stream, since cacao shells are usually discarded as waste. MiCacao also donates a portion of proceeds to organizations that help enrich the lives of veterans!
