Treat Yourself to the Quality Taste of Adagio Teas-Giveaway

July 30, 2017 by Kathryn 90 Comments

I’m lucky enough to be one of those women that doesn’t have too much trouble with being pregnant, but it does still have its challenges. And one of the smaller, yet still vexing ones, is giving up food and drinks that I love. Thai food gives me heartburn. Sushi can be dangerous for the baby. And, hardest of all…I gave up my beloved coffee!

But rather than spend too much time thinking about how much I missed my favourite lattes, I decided to get reacquainted with another favourite drink: tea! For months, a hot cup of tea in the morning has been my favourite way to start the day, and recently I had the chance to try some delicious new flavours and varieties from Adagio Teas.

When it comes to summer beverages, I love a drink that’s cold, refreshing and healthy. And when that drink can also have zero calories, that’s even better! That’s why I was so excited to try new Pure Leaf Iced Tea. Made with real brewed tea, it comes in three delicious flavours all boasting zero calories per serving! I was challenged to create some fun summer drink combinations using Pure Leaf Iced Tea and I couldn’t wait.

Berry Lemony Iced Tea

Raspberries, blackberries and Pure Leaf Lemon Iced Tea combine to make a refreshing light beverage on a hot summer’s day. I loved the hint of tartness from the lemon, which brought out the sweetness of the summer berries beautifully. This could be made with any combination of berries and be delicious! [Read more…]

Improving My Health Naturally With a FitTea Review

June 23, 2015 by Kathryn 13 Comments

While I’m pretty happy with my body overall, I’m always interested in finding new ways to tone up a little more, burn extra fat and improve my general health. And when I can find an easy and fun way to do that, I’m even happier. I’d heard of FitTea products before and I always thought the company’s tagline “Give us a few weeks and we’ll give you a new waistline” sounded intriguing. An all-natural tea that helped promote fat burning and boost immunity sounded like a dream come true to me and since there’s nothing I love more than a soothing cup of tea, I couldn’t help but want to give the product a try. Recently I had the chance to do just that with a FitTea review about how this tea worked for me.

Initially I thought that the FitTea I had been sent was a loose-leaf product, but when I opened the bag I realized it was even better. Traditional tea bags just aren’t the best choice for extracting the maximum flavour and health benefits from tea leaves and while loose-leaf tea is delicious, it’s also a little fussy to make since having a tea ball at the ready is a must. FitTea solves the problem by using large silk pouches, keeping the tea in its proper loose leaf form and allowing proper steeping while still being quick and simple to use. For those that prefer the traditional method, however, a loose-leaf variety is also available. [Read more…]
