Tea and Me + Pique Tea Giveaway
If you ever catch me sitting at my computer there’s generally one thing right next to me_ a mug of tea. Whether its summer, winter, fall or spring, it’s truly my drink of choice. Warm, soothing and all out delightful. It’s as close as I’m going to get to enjoying a cup of English Breakfast with a scone in Oxford or Green Tea in the Orient, so I really try to take it all in.
I love the taste, smell and even the process of making tea. I will admit, though, there are times when I need to get working quick and don’t have the time to wait for my tea to brew as every minute these days with three kids and work is truly precious. If I could sit down and magically have a cup of tea and yogurt berry parfait or a spinach cake muffin appear I would be a very happy girl.
I recently started drinking Pique tea and became obsessed! Their slogan is "exceptional tea in an instant" and I totally see why. Pique takes whole-leaf tea, brews and then crystalizes it, so all you do it pour in hot water and you’re ready to drink. Instead of waiting minutes for your tea to brew, it’s ready in seconds.
Tea is not only a delicious choice in beverage, it’s also good for you! Pique tea offers you 2 times the amount of antioxidants compared to leading tea bags and their green tea crystals have 5 times the amount. Ease and health? I was sucked in from the very first sip. While traveling this summer I also realized the sheer ease of carrying it with me. Whether I’m traveling or just on the move I can carry my to go cup and I’m ready for tea!
I’ve been playing around adding the tea crystals to baked goods as well with really fun results. I’ve been buying tons of zucchini at the farmers market and decided to make zucchini muffins with it. I was feeling adventurous, so I poured one envelope of mint sencha organic green tea into the muffin mixture and couldn’t get over how delicious they turned out. Just the hint of two delicious flavors alongside a beloved recipe that I dare play around with worked like a charm! Slather them with a little butter and drink it up with a cup of tea and you have double the pleasure.
