Giveaway: Traditional Medicinals Tea Assortment (Closed)

IMG_9886_0479

From all of the enthusiastic comments and emails I received on my last post reviewing my tea assortment from Traditional Medicinals, it’s clear we’re all just a big circle of [tea] drinkers. Many of you wrote to me asking if you could buy this same variety package, which only made sense because–who doesn’t want their very own box filled with dozens of different herbal tea blends? I want another one already.

traditional medicinals-5

Well, good news, friends. Traditional Medicinals has kindly offered to give me two packages of assorted teas to give away to you. And I’m thrilled. Two of you will be getting your own collection of the following:

  • Organic Peppermint
  • Organic Chamomile w/ Lavender
  • Organic Dandelion Root
  • Organic Ginger
  • Nighty Night
  • EveryDay Detox Lemon
  • Traditional Medicinals mug and bag
  • Super Plants Tea Box Sampler

So fantastic.

To enter to win one of the two prize packages: Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite brand and flavor of tea! I’ll randomly select two winners by Friday 1/11 at 6pm ET.

Good luck!

*********UPDATE: CONTEST NOW CLOSED 1/11/13 at 7:00pm ET******

I used a true random number generator to select winners from the comments, and…they…are….

natalie– comment # 59 on Jan 10 at 12:25 pm:  “My all time favorite tea is PG Tips – I grew up drinking that in England. Lately I’ve been trying different Green Teas, but havent picked a favorite brand just yet”

Erika–comment #131 on Jan 10 10:24 pm “Bravissimo by David’s Tea. Mmm…David’s Tea is divine!”

Thank you so much to all of you who entered and took the time to write a comment! I don’t know if it’s normal for a blogger to feel so terribly guilty not being able to send a box to each of her readers, and I don’t think it’s a standard play for her to write down every single tea mentioned in this 500-something-long list.

Maybe another giveaway soon!

      I love Tazo Passion Tea and Sleepytime Vanilla by Celestial Seasonings. Recently as I sink into my “old age” (turning 30 is a bit scary) I truly enjoy a cup of tea each night before I go to bed.

      I tried Snapple tea – the ones you brew yourself. It was gross hot but when I drank it as ice tea, it was good

      I love all types of tea but my absolute favorite is a homemade blend. I have a friend that makes her own teas. Her company is called Rosehaven. We’re from Springfield, TN. Well she makes the most heavenly oolong tea. I love to drink it with a wedge of orange and just a touch of milk :-) yum.

    My favorite tea used to be a cherry green tea produced by specialteas.com (which was bought out by Teavana…which meant they discontinued it). If anyone knows of anything similar (beautiful sencha with rosy-cherry floral notes–please let me know).

    Lately, I’ve been digging Harney and Sons Paris tea. It’s really yummy without any sugar (always a bonus). It’s a black tea that’s a little herbal tasting with vanilla and lemon notes.

    My favorite tea would have to be Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea. It is, and I quote, “A soothing blend of chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass, Sleepytime is the most beloved of our herbal tea recipes.” I’d say with a slogan like that, it has to be good.

    I used to love Honest Tea’s hot Lori’s Lemon tea- but they stopped carry their tea bags. It’s been a long time since I was able to enjoy a hot cup of tea. I’ve lately preferred Honest Tea’s bottled tea in Jasmine Green Energy and their Raspberry Field tea.

    My favorite tea is definitely TJ’s peppermint green tea. It’s only available during the holiday season, so I think that makes it extra special!

    AH! I LOVE THIS! I read your post yesterday and was SO jealous! I LOVE Traditional Medicinals! I use their Roasted Dandelion Root to help detox when I’m having a reaction from food chemicals and when I am sick I live on their Cold Care teas! They kick a cold in the butt every time and I can’t even count the number of people I’ve told to buy it. My 11 year old son ASKS for it when he doesn’t feel good and he asks for the Peppermint when his sensitive stomach isn’t feeling well.
    I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to get something like this! And here I thought you were the luckiest girl around. :)

    I have many favorites (Todd & Holland, in Chicago, is great) but lately my favorite “tea” has been a home brewed concoction of ginger, honey, and water.

    My favorite for the moment is Tazo Organic Chai. However, I am reawakening my tea senses and love to try everything!

    Thanks for sharing this brand with me.

    I am just starting to drink tea again after not drinking it for years. I had half a diet coke on the first and so far none the rest of the year. Yes, I know it is only the eleventh of January.

    I am now drinking tea every day.

    I like to drink about 3 different kinds each day, but if I were to pick a favorite right now?… Youthberry from Teavana. I just discovered Teavana! It’s expensive, though so I’m rationing ;)

    My office mate and I are tea fans, her desk is the go-to for Traditional Medicinal Lemon Echinacea not only for the taste but for it’s cold-combating properties. I keep their Breathe Easy and Throat Coat for the same purposes, but I’m also a major fan of Yogi tea. Right now I’m into their DeTox and Seven-Berry Antioxidant varieties.

    I can’t even pick just one–Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Vanilla is a great way to unwind at the end of the day; Tazo Passion tea is so good hot or iced; Trader Joe’s Crimson tea is awesome, too! I love herby blends and “tension tamers” and ginger teas, too…I could go on forever. Tea is the best.

    Although I have never had Traditional Medicinals Teas, I would love to try the organic ginger tea. Right now I am big on Greek mountain tea. Boiled in a pot on the stove with a cinnamon stick and the dried flowers. Amazing! Thank you Andie for your thoughts everyday. I look forward to them!

    OK, so I love tea. Always have. I’ve been drinking Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time Tea since I was a kid.

    Having never tried Traditional Medicinals’ tea, they can’t be my favorite. (yet.) So I’d have to say that my favorite tea brand at the moment is Republic of Tea, with the favorite flavor being a toss up between Gogi Raspberry Green Tea, and Ginger Peach Green Tea!

    While peppermint tea has a permanent place in my heart, my favorite tea is Tazo Vanilla Rooibos. It is so naturally sweet that all you have to do is put in a little half and half so that it will be nice and creamy. It’s almost like a smoother chai. It’s absolutely lovely.

    I work at a student health center on a campus that serves a student population of about 30,000! With flu season gripping us tightly, I think the Ginger Aid tea is awesome!

    This it WAY too hard…how many characters do I get!!?? :) Okay, so my love affair with tea started when I was in college and about 4 years ago got pretty intense! I started with green teas, because they seemed comfortable to me, and then slowly expanded and have tried so many teas, I can hardly keep track and now you want me to pick a favorite? Oh no…

    –Trader Joe’s Organic Green Tea-Light & Yummy
    –Traditional Medicinals, Organic Raspberry Leaf, a must have for those pesky girly monthly visits!, Echinacea Plus, whenever I feel a cold coming on!, Everyday Detox Lemon, so good!
    –Yogi, Green Tea Super Antioxidant, my go to every day, Healthy Fasting and Peach Detox.

    I can keep going, but I won’t…I’m pretty sure I may have broke the rules with this extra long post, I just can’t help myself!

    Thanks Andie!
