There are so many people who are switching from Coffee to Hot Tea these days. And if you are new to the world of hot tea, I will be giving you a a list of a few brands & flavors that are really yummy & that you should try out.
I like "flavor" in my tea, meaning, I don't want my hot tea to just taste like some tea leaves were steeped in hot water. I want something to taste, flavor, Like strawberry's or mint! So if you're looking for some flavored tea's, you are at the right place.
So let's get started, shall we.
Two GREAT brands of tea is
Bigelow brand and
Celestial Seasonings brand. They make some of the best hot tea on the market and you can find both of them at your local grocery store.
Another plus, they are affordable, which we all need right now.
TOP 5 favorites of
Bigelow brand:
# 5 -
Spiced Chai
This tea has a spice taste that reminds me of something you'd find in India or Europe. Very unique taste.
#4 - Raspberry Royal
If you like Raspberry's, then this is the tea for you. It is full of Raspberry flavored goodness.
#3 - Plantation Mint
I'm sorry, but you just can't go wrong with Mint tea. And THIS is a great Mint tea.
#2 - French Vanilla
Now we are getting to the GOOD STUFF! If you are a Vanilla fan at all, you will just absolutely love this French Vanilla tea. It is has a rich Vanilla taste and is so good. You add a little milk and sugar and you have creamy Vanilla tea.
And now, my
ALL TIME Favorite tea
# 1 - Vanilla Caramel
Oh my stars, this tea is
FAN-FLIPPIN-TASTIC!! You've got the Vanilla and you've got the Caramel and mixed together it's like a Vanilla/Caramel cookie in tea form. You add a little sugar & a little milk and oh, you have reached heaven on earth! Once the hot water is poured on top of the bags, this amazing smell goes wafting through the house. It's smells like you're baking something. Now imagine that in your mouth. Ahhh!!!
**AND, this tea has no calories. **
Now onto the
Celestial Seasonings brand of hot tea. Personally, i think their best teas are the Herbal teas. I have yet to find a brand of Herbal tea as good as the ones from them. They have a lot of flavor and don't have the strong black tea taste that the
Bigelow brand has.
Top 5 favorites of
Celestial Seasonings brand.
#5 - Fruit Tea Sampler
#4 - Herbal Tea Sampler
Samplers are a great way to try 5 different flavors of tea in one purchase. This allows you to sample and pick & choose which particular flavor of tea(s) you like before you purchase an entire box of one flavor. I think it's a brilliant idea. This way, if you try one and you don't like the way it tastes, you can throw it away without wasting an entire box of tea or the $ you spent on it.
The Fruit Tea Sampler & Herbal Tea Samplers are fantastic!
#3 - Sleepytime
This tea is so Awwww-mazing! If you are looking for a sleep aid, this tea will do it for ya. It has chamomile, spearmint and lemongrass in it. All mixed together, it helps you to relax and you can fall asleep easier. Almost like a warm bath for your insides! Awwww!!
#2 - Peppermint
What is there to say, but Peppermint-y goodness in the form of tea. I LOVE candy canes and this is like having that seasonal treat right at your fingertips any time of the year. Oh this tea is so good.
#1 - Tropic of Strawberry
Tropic of Strawberry made the number one spot for simply one reason... you add two bags of this to a 2 liter bottle of Sprite and let sit over night and you have a refreshing summer strawberry spritzer. OH YUMMY!! This is sooo good.
