I always get excited when I discover a new product that I really love--especially if it saves me money and time. How about you? Well, I have just the thing to share with you today.
You know the bottles of iced tea that you can take to work or on the go? I am talking about the fancy blended brews. Some are made with black tea and some with green, red or herbal tea. Although they taste good--so many of them are loaded with sugar and are very expensive costing $1-$2 for a 16 oz. bottle. Well, I was looking for a healthier tea with a better price tag.

There are 16 oz. bottled iced teas with over 30 grams of sugar per serving--and some of those contain more than one serving.
For a while I started brewing tea at home in the summer and re-filling bottles for my husband to take to work--but I found that I just didn't keep up with it. Well, I was shopping on the web and came across teas from Celestial Seasonings which are cool brewed. There are 4 flavors and all have 0 grams of sugar.
The New Delicious Tropical Tea You Can Brew in Your Cup at Work

The reason that I am so excited is that one of the flavors contains a Rooibos and Honeybush blend. These are two African teas which are caffeine free. This cool brewed tea is a delicious naturally flavored tropical fruit blend. And since red tea is naturally slightly sweet and very smooth--you may find that you don't need additional sweetener. The flavor is reminiscent of a tropical punch.

Simply drop a tea bag in a glass of water and in 5-10 minutes you have a delicious iced tea!
Benefits of Rooibos Tea
- Antioxidant properties up to 50 times more potent than green tea
- Calming effect on the nervous system while increasing mental clarity.
- Studies show it relieves insomnia, nervous tension, mild depression, stomach cramps (including colic), constipation, and allergic symptoms (even those caused by hay fever and asthma)
- Can also ease itching and skin irritations
- Rich in iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium, fluoride, manganese, and sodium
- Caffeine free
- Low in tannins--tannins can prohibit the absorption of protein and iron
Other enticing flavors include raspberry, half and half--tea and lemonade, and peach
If you haven't tried rooibos tea yet--you are in for a treat. It's delicious to drink either hot or cold. Consider trying the cool brewed Tropical Fruit from Celestial Seasonings. Pop some into your purse--or keep a box in your desk at work so that you can make a soothing tropical drink whenever you are in the mood. I even keep some in the car for trips. It's really good stuff!
Have a great week!
Lots of Love,
