TWG Tea Jelly – 1837 Black Tea

Tea Jelly – 1837 Black Tea (290ml)

I remember growing up and my mum making me tea and toast for breakfast with a side of eggs for breakfast.  The jam was always a cheap and cheerful brand from the local grocer.  Sometimes they would be watery or gloopy.  That aside, the memory of actually eating the warm toast and sweet jam made me happy.

These days I like to have a few jams on the go in my fridge.  My latest love affair is with TWG Tea’s Tea Jelly – 1837 Black Tea (290ml).  Have you heard of it?  If you haven’t and are a tea and jelly fan like me – you must check it out.  It’s a neat mix of the two.

Tea-infused with TWG Tea’s renowned signature tea, 1837 Black is a unique blend of black tea with notes of fruits and flowers from the Bermuda triangle which leaves a lingering aftertaste of ripe berries, anise, and caramel.  Pure decadence.  It’s a dead posh jelly.  Firm and with an explosion of flavour.

I loved TWG Tea’s 1837 Black Tea especially with milk.  It is always warm and a perfect summer to fall tea.  Coupling that with the 1837 Black Tea Jelly made it an even sweeter delight.

I encourage you to bring this tea jelly to work with your toast if you need a lil snack or as a midnight treat especially now since the winter is coming and we need a lil extra warmth.  You can even have this gorgeous jelly out with some yummy freshly baked breads or crackers with clotted cream if friends come over for the holidays or with your TWG Tea service on an upcoming holiday morning for family.

Other amazing TWG Tea is also available for purchase and shipped anywhere in North America through The Urban Tea Merchant website, urbantea.com

Celebrate Earth Day with a Free Coffee or Tea at Starbucks ;)

Well this girl has to work today – yep it’s Monday in my world.   I just woke up and can’t function without a proper tea on a good day, Sundays are particularly harsh.

If you are out and about today try to hit up your local Starbucks.  Why? On April 22 if you bring in a reusable mug or tumbler you can get a free brewed coffee or tea. Your choice of brew, hot or iced – it is spring after all! This is happening at participating stores in the United States and Canada.

Why are they doing this? Well to recognize the impact one can make through careful, conscious choices. Starbucks wants to encourage and reward those who use tumblers or travel mugs in your daily routines. You’re helping to reduce our environmental impact!

If you don’t have a tumbler or travel mug, they will be available for 20% off on Earth Day, April 22. Just so you know, anytime you bring in your own tumbler or travel mug to a participating Starbucks, you get 10 cents off your drink every day.  ;)
