Christmas Tea Party with Alokozay ~ #2015ChristmasGiftGuide #Review #Giveaway

I guess coming from a traditional Asian family we are big tea drinkers.  Every time we go out for Dim Sum or a Chinese Restaurant we always drink their herbal tea.  Since I started drinking at an early age it has become a staple in my household.  I even have a shelf dedicated to all sorts of tea.  Unlike coffee I could drink some tea multiple times a day that won't keep me awake all night.  If you knows someone who is crazy about tea, this Christmas, give them some Alokozay Tea.  You can get a few and put them in their stockings or wrap them all up in some cellophane gift wrap with some mugs.

Alokozay Tea: Spice & All That Nice Pack ~ #2014ChristmasGiftGuide & #Giveaway

When the season has changed to colder days, I drink a ton of tea.  The best feeling is when it is freezing outside and I drink my first sip of my hot tea.  I also drink alot of lemon tea to try to boost up my immune system.  Drinking tea is alot healthier than drinking pop.  A few times I have given Alokozay Tea as gifts to the child care provider because I know it is not easy working with younger kids all day and the tea is to help relax them.

Bodum Yo-Yo Set is the Perfect Gift ~ #2013ChristmasGiftGuide #Review #Giveaway

You all know I am a tea-a-holic drinker.  I have at least one mug a day.  I does not matter if my tea is in either loose or bagged.  However I do have a few favourites that are sold loose.  When I do have loose tea I don't like to bag them because they do cost extra.  They are great for on the go in a traveling mug.  I preferred to use a strainer to hold my tea leaves.  For awhile I did use the ball and the chain for a few years but one day I lost it.  No idea where it went.  Then I decided to purchase a mug with a cup strainer for easier cleaning and not getting lost.

I think this yo-yo set (cute name) is fantastic!  I love the tray could be double up as a lid and a trivent to prevent the strainer from dripping all over table when I take it out of the mug.  It is dishwasher safe and microwave safe.  I dont have a dishwasher so it will be mostly washed by hands.  I love when items are microwave safe.  I hate to find out it was not and gets me annoyed that I have to find another cup that is.  It holds 10oz so it holds enough for my morning tea but sometimes it might not be big enough when I am so thirsty...so I will fill it up again.  See problem solved.  The strainer works with any cup and works with any loose tea leaves.  I have seen other strainers and I think they were useless since the holes are large enough for certain tea leaves to pass through.  I hate to swallow tea with the leaves.  It is gross.  This strainer is perfect, something I was looking for to keep at home or the office.  This is a great Christmas gift for tea-a-holic or just starting out drinking tea.  I think this is a perfect gift for everyone.  Grab one of these mugs and add a bag of tea leaves = the perfect gift for this holiday season.  It is so affordable at MSRP $10 and it is available at The Bay.

Dream Tea Boutique ~ #Review & #Giveaway

If you may recall, I am a huge tea drinker.  Most people travel with water in their water bottle but I always have tea in my travel mug.  I even purchased a thermal bag just for my travel mug.  Yes, I am a tea lover with a capital "T".   I have always been drinking tea, growing up since my parents always orders tea when we go out for dim sum or ate dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.  There was no way I could avoid drinking tea.  Then over time I'm always searching for great tea to try and to enjoy.  If you are asking where to buy great tasting tea, look no further because I know another great place to look.

I have discovered a fine tea boutique online store that sells an amazing variety of flavoured teas.  You know me, I can't keep this information to myself.  This online store is located out in Coquitlam, BC called Dream Tea Boutique which they import, distribute, and wholesaler carrying high-quality teas from Europe.  Dream Tea Boutique carries a world famous tea - Forsman Tea (Finland) at a very reasonable prices with over 50 selection of tea which also include Organic and Fair Trade loose leaf teas.
