So, I’ve made it half-way through my caffeine-free month! Only a couple of hiccups, I’ve had a small amount of green tea when I was away at Billabong Retreat during the tea ceremony (wasn’t NOT going to take part) and there is some question aver the levels of caffeine in Chai latte syrups. There’s WAY more sugar than anything else, so good thing I’ve not quit sugar ;)
Along the way, I’ve gotten to try some different caffeine-free substitutes, including the range of herbal teas from Blossom Blends.
Anne, from Blossom Blends sent me some samples. This is the inspiration behind the venture:
Blossom Blends is a boutique tea purveyor that started out in the humble recipe draw of my Nanna Mac’s kitchen. Every Sunday my family would drive to the sleepy country village of Hanwood (Population 583!) to visit her, have a chat, and enjoy a cup of her much loved tea blends.
Nanna Mac would have nothing but the fine things in life and nothing was truer when it came to her tea, if it wasn’t up to scratch she wouldn’t have it! There is nothing but the finest herbs, flower and fruits that go into a tin of our tea and the blends themselves have been polished by a qualified naturopath to make sure that the original goodness and nutritive properties is there for all to share and enjoy.
The six blends are:
– Get Up and Go Go
– Time Out
– Body Beautiful
– On the Wagon
– Complexion Perfection
– A Little Pick Me Up
Of the flavours I’ve tried, I have to say that the On the Wagon and A little pick me up were my favourite two blends, must ave been the spearmint influence!!! :) (or the little flowers bobbing around :)
Blossom Blends tea can be bought through the Facebook page, Etsy store and now through Hard to Find for $17 per tin.
(enjoy with some local honey)
