Teas' Tea, Just In Time For Springtime Thirst Quenching! Review and Giveaway!



" Teas' Tea"  is all natural.  It is named after the Japanese expression Ocha no Naka No Ocha, which means “The Tea of ALL Teas!”  Ito En, "Teas' Teas" parent company has been an industry leader in unsweetened tea for over 20 years. So you can imagine how excited I have been to be able to work with "Tea's Tea", and each time being able to try new and exciting flavors. My first review for Ito En was amazing. I love this company and all the amazing things they do. The haiku poems on each bottle are endearing and clever. Some of "Teas' Tea" flavors are very different from what I am used to, like some of the new flavors I was able to try. The Unsweetened Mint Green Tea(a blend of green tea and peppermint) has a very strong, earthy flavor with delicate after notes of refreshing mint. The plain Unsweetened Green Tea  also has a musky, earthy flavor that left a long lasting pleasant flavor in my mouth. My favorite one was the Unsweetened Rose Green Tea. The naturally sweet, perfumed rose petals used in this tea are absolutely decadent with none of the bitterness of the other two. It's soothing, silky flavor reminds me of chocolate. To be totally honest I added a tablespoon of honey to the bottles after initial tasting. I really didn't care for these teas in their unsweetened state. However after I added the honey, I liked them much better.  I would recommend trying any of the "Tea's Tea" flavors. 

I love Ito En and how environmentally conscious they are. I love how aware they are of our earth   and how they try to reduce it’s carbon footprint on it. They have been recognized for their recycling tea leaf program. ITO EN has been awarded the Grand Prize by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan and the Environment Minister’s Prize for developing eco-friendly products made from used tea leaves. A variety of products ranging from vending machines and public benches have also been a part of the company’s recycling CSR activities. In fact Ito En redesigned their bottles so they are the lightest bottle in the ready-to-drink industry, weighing in at only 18.7 grams. I love the fact that the bottles are so light yet still sturdy! Plus the smaller plastic bottles makes shipping more economical over glass which saves fuel... now that's what I call green! "Teas' Tea" wraps their bottles completely, which restricts exposure to light. This reduces oxidation and preserves the antioxidants in the teas. Doing this keeps the tea fresh and potent.  "Teas' Tea" wants you to to try their unsweetened tea and see for yourself how great they taste so they are giving one of my fans their own sample of these three great teas.
