The other day, I popped into Teavana to buy an iced tea. While waiting in line to place my order, a Teavana employee accosted gave me her unsolicited sales pitch. I had no intention of buying anything besides what I came in for, but before I knew it, I was leaving with all sorts of tea goodies.

IMG_5921Teavana allows you to sample a number of their freshly brewed teas, so I instantly fell in love with their blend of MatéVana + Rooibos Chai.

The MatéVana has a chocolatey, malty, sweet, nutty flavor while the Rooibos Chai has spicy and exotic taste to it. I also loved that it has antioxidants and caffeine in it!

The blend sort of reminds me of a nice, smooth cup of coffee. Surprisingly, right? This particular tea blend would be prefect for a coffee lover who wants to start drinking tea.

IMG_5917IMG_7665To brew my looseleaf tea, I also bought a tea strainer. 

IMG_7664The tea strainer is large enough for a single cup of coffee or a whole pot of tea– it just depends how many tea leaves you add to it.

IMG_7681The tea was so easy to brew. For a mug, you just add hot water to 1.5 tsp of loose tea leaves and let seep for 5-6 minutes before removing the strainer. The fine holes removed even the smallest leaves and sediment from my mug. 

IMG_7684Adding a squirt of agave nectar and a splash of vanilla soy milk made it the perfect cup of chocolately, sweet tea. 

IMG_7688I also made myself a bowl of banana oats for breakfast.

In the mix:

  • 1/2 cup dry oats
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 banana, sliced
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed meal
  • Cinnamon Crunch cereal
  • Chocolate chips

If you had the choice, what would you pick: coffee or tea?
