I have joined a great group of bloggers to bring you a Tea-rific ( yeah I know, bad pun) giveaway. Make sure you enter to win a Brew T Infuser and 2 Fusion Tea blends. I don’t know about you but I love tea, especially iced tea. What a great prize to take home!
This Review and Giveaway was written by Colleen at My Vegan Gluten Free Life
I absolutely adore, love, am fond of, fancy, like and have a huge passion for TEA! Get the picture? I like the smell of coffee but can’t stomach the taste. But Tea is my passion. I had to switch to decaffeinated teas because the caffeine gave me cardiac arrhythmia. . Some oolong teas I can handle and some light green teas as well and thank goodness because their flavors are divine.
Fusion Teas has a fabulous selection of teas…
- Black Tea
- Green Tea
- Oolong
- Tulsi
- Rooibos
- Herbal
I received 4 looseleaf tea variety collections to sample: Acai Berry Blend, Oolong Collection, Super Fruit Sencha Green Tea Collection, Lemon Rose Bud Oolong Collection (pictured below) and Chamomile Vanilla Bean Herbal Collection.
Upon opening the package, the Super Fruit Sencha smelled very much of a raspberry/blackberry blend and I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it since it was very strong, but after brewing it the fruit flavor was delicate and the green tea flavor very light. It was very refreshing and would be delightful cold as well.
The Acai Berry Blend smelled like a musky currant when I opened the package, but I loved the flavor. I thought it would also be overpowering but it was wonderful without being heavy and the oolong came through with a slight tang. I would use this tea for everyday drinking.
The Lemon Rose Bud definately had the fragrance of roses but the flavor was very faint and the oolong flavor very light with a touch of ginger. It was a delightful tea and I would also think this would be great iced.
The Chamomile Vanilla Bean immediately filled the air with the sweet aroma of vanilla beans and the chamomile flowers looked lovely among the other ingredients. You definitely need a strainer for this one since it has a lot of floating ingredients. I can envision sipping this tea before bedtime , curling up with a book in front of a fire or for a tummy ache! It has a sweet, flowery, yet distinctly vanilla flavor with a hint of licorice.
Do I have a favorite? I love them all but I could drink the Acai Berry Blend anytime! I think Fusion Teas has a lifelong customer here!
Fusion Teas is offering the following BrewT along with your choice of 2 Fusion Tea blends (3 oz each).
The Sponsor has this to say about the Brew T:
The BrewT infuser is a revolutionary method for making your preferred hot or cold beverage through the ingenious combination of properly steeping premium loose leaf tea with fresh hot water. This patented process for making exceptional tea is so popular with people on the go, college students and office professionals, that it allows for a quality drink within minutes of mixing the ingredients together. The BrewT is brilliant.
Using the BrewT
The infuser is equipped with a unique shut-off valve invention that controls the flow of liquid from the Teaze to the cup through a specially designed filtration screen intended to prevent large particles from reaching your cup. With the placement of the brewer on the cup, the weight of the unit will open the valve and allow the infused liquid to flow into the cup. Once lifted from the cup, the plate falls and forces the shut-off valve to close the infuser opening thus preventing further flow. The impact resistant, high-grade polymer used in the manufacture of the BrewT allows for safe and easy use for its intended purpose.
