Spring is in full swing and that means that the kinds of teas we drink, and how we drink them, are ready for a refreshing change. It’s shaping up to be a particularly warm Spring in most places of the United States, so it’s time to hit the patio deck with a pitcher of cold iced tea and enjoy the chance to be back outside with friends and family. Here are some springtime essentials straight from the Tea Smith.
As the temperature starts to climb, fruity and floral teas make for a refreshing way to stay cool. The Flowering Tea Gift Box is a great starter kit for ringing in Spring. This gift box also make for a great Easter gift. It contains eight individually tied tea blossoms: two Golden Magic in Water, two One-thousand Days Jasmine, and one each Butterfly Loves Flowers, Towering Beauty, Double Happiness and Floating Beauty. It’s beautifully packaged and the handcrafted details make it a personal and thoughtful present.
For a great fruity tea with a bold taste, try our Pomegranate Tea. It combines all the taste of a Sencha green tea with the sweetness of pomegranate. Our Subtle Strawberry White Tea is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth, and, even better, it’s a guilt-free treat that let’s you enjoy all the benefits of delicious dessert without the calorie-filled repercussions! Another great sweet and fruity choice is our Raspberry Rhubarb Riot Rooibos Tea, a mix of fruits that includes raspberry, rhubarb, rose petals, and coconut – a perfect non-caffeinated option for Spring.
These sweet, floral, fruity teas all make for excellent iced teas. For practical brewing and pouring, look no further than the Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker, which lets you steep and chill your tea (bags or loose leaf) all in the same place. Its airtight lid ensures the utmost freshness and lets you store the pitcher on its side without having to worry about spilling, so you can easily take it with you on the road.
