CLOSED ~ HOLIDAY GIFT ALERT: Village Tea Company Review and Giveaway

I am a tea lover. I love tea and one of my dreams is to one day open a little tea house where I could serve tea and those little tiny tea sandwiches. I love the idea of serving tea. It's so civilized. Plus, I am a fiend for those little tea sandwiches and scones!!

To me there is nothing better than a cup of tea on a cold afternoon. And it's been cold around here! So when I received the opportunity to try some new tea, I couldn't say no.

The tea I got to sample was Simply Earl Grey Tea from the Village Tea Company. The Village Tea Company sells a whole line of wonderful loose teas. Flavors include the Simply Earl Grey tea I received as well as Classic White Tea, Smooth Jasmine Green tea, Sassy Green Tea with Acai and many more.

I got out my favorite mug and made myself a cup of this wonderful tea. The canister the tea came in was also eco-friendly and I liked that. The Earl Grey tea came in a cute little unbleached drawstring bag. My canister had two of them. The Simply Earl Grey tea was fantastic. It was rich and robust. Strong but not bitter. It left no aftertaste and I really enjoyed it. I tried it straight with just some sweetener and then one morning I had it with milk and sugar. It was heavenly!

Luckily, I have my very own tea steeper since this is loose leaf tea. It is a wonderful tool that allows you to have fresh tea anytime. I love it. But if you don't have your very own steeper, Village Tea Co. teas also come with little bags to place the loose tea and you can use to steep it. I thought this was such a nice touch because you don't have to go out and buy a special tool. This little detail made the tea experience so much lovelier.

Overall, I really enjoyed this tea and it is very good. The taste was so nice and it made for a wonderful morning and afternoon treat. I would certainly buy it for myself. I know I would love to try more of the flavors they sell. I think it would make a fantastic gift for the tea lover on your X-mas list. The teas are also reasonably priced as well. You can visit the Village Tea Co. site fot more information or follow them on Twitter or fan them Facebook.

And now one lucky reader will be able to try 3 flavors of this tasty tea for themselves. I want to thank the Village Tea Company for providing this opportunity for one of you. If you are a tea lover, then this is the giveaway for you. Remember to follow the rules and enter for your chance to win.
