Good Earth Sweet & Spicy Herbal Tea

This tea was given to me by my friend, Ina, who is a naturopath (and therefore an expert on all things natural!). She raved about this tea to me, and gave me a few teabags to try. Unfortunately, this is not available to buy in Canada...so if you have friends in the US who are willing to send it to you, count yourself lucky!

Sweet and Spicy is a rooibos blend of many different ingredients. Many ingredients. It smells just like its name, sweet and spicy. On drinking it, though, the overwhelming flavour is cinnamon, like those cinnamon heart candies that everyone except me seems to love, ha ha!! This tea also tastes like you've added a couple teaspoons of sugar to it. I've never tasted a tea that tasted sweet, but hasn't had any sweeteners added to it. I like the concept, as I do like a bit of sweetness in my tea.

This is by far the most flavourful tea I've tried. If you get the chance, definitely try it for yourself!

DavidsTea Hot Toboggan

DavidsTea Hot Toboggan is part of the Winter Collection from DavidsTea. This is a green tea, but I'm not sure that green tea is the main ingredient, seeing as it's so full of apple pieces and lemongrass. When it's steeped, it is really pale, and cloudy, so much so that it doesn't even look like a green tea. It smells sweet, like cinnamon, and the taste is a tart/fruity combo, which is really nice and smooth.


Get fired up
Playing in the snow can be pretty hard work. You’ve gotta stay energized. Focused. Warm. So, what’s in your thermos? How about this blend of green tea, apple, cinnamon, and almonds? You get all the benefits of green tea plus all the sweet, creamy flavour of a caramel apple. Pack some to go and you’ll really heat things up on the toboggan run. And with a tea this delicious in your hands, you’ll never want to come in from the cold.
