The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
I was browsing around the grocery store looking for holiday baking goodies when i went down the seasonal isle and found some holiday teas were now in stock. If you have read my blog before you know how much of a fan I am of teas. So I was curious, I mean, I like holiday flavoured latte’s why not tea?
They have 5 new flavours!
Nutcracker Sweet, Sugar Plum Spice, Sugar Cookie Sleigh ride, Gingerbread Spice and Candy Cane Lane.
The one I chose to buy was the Candy Cane Lane and here’s what’s in it:
Ingredients: Peppermint leaves, decaffeinated green tea, orange peel, natural vanilla and mint flavors with other natural flavors, cinnamon, milk thistle, blackberry leaves, roasted carob, roasted chicory and vanilla bean.
It’s naturally caffeine free and contains no gluten. I wasn’t aware that some tea’s had gluten in them to begin with. To me this tea tastes like peppermint with a hint of vanilla, its very good.
To see if you can get these products near you click here! The neat thing about this site is that you can see what tea’s you already like and they’ll recommend similar teas that you may also enjoy!
I think I will go make myself a second cup while I finish my blasted Christmas cards, the next kind I think I may buy will be the sugar cookie sleigh ride.
So in the mean time enjoy a cup of tea!
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.

That explains why I haven’t found these. The closest store to me selling these is 20 miles away! I need to move…..

Thank you so much for posting this! I absolutely love tea and these sound amazing.
I was looking for a sweet companion to go along with my tea and if you have any ideas, please let me know. So far, I found a great cupcake place called The Ottawa Cupcakery and their cupcakes are made sans oil or shortening, yet retain all the taste. (I’m on a diet and trying to shed some “baby-fat” and promising myself not to gain any over the holidays.)
I found them here: http://www.savvymom.ca/index.php/newsletter/ott_big_sweet_small_guilt/
Take care,
