Win a Box of Loose Leaf Tea - Counting To Ten

Expired

Sometimes as a parent you just need 5 minutes peace. Those 5 minutes are even better if you can enjoy a great cup of tea that’s still warm. The True Tea Club sent me a standard subscription box to review which has enough loose leaf tea to make 40 cups of tea, that means I get at least 3 hours peace right? Well maybe not, but the tea does provide a little bit of calm in the chaos of my home.
My taste for tea has changed over the years. When I was pregnant with my youngest I stopped enjoying my normal cup of builder’s tea and started drinking Earl Grey, a tea I didn't like when I was younger. When I gave up dairy in January I stopped drinking tea for a while because none of the alternative milks tasted quite right. I slowly realised that I preferred my tea without milk and suddenly I discovered a whole new world of tea flavours.
The True Tea Club is based in York and specialises in 7 types of loose leaf te white tea, green tea, black tea, oolong, chair, rooibos and herbal tea. They have a new monthly subscription box with 4 different loose leaf teas to try each month. The standard box costs £10 a month and makes 40 cups, but if you drink a lot of tea you can go for the premium or deluxe packages which make 60 or 80 cups of tea. Delivery is free in the UK (International delivery also available).
Handily the box fits through a normal letter box which means you can find it on your door mat when you get home, or in my case there was no delivery man knocking noisily on the door and waking my baby up (she always seems to have just gone down for a nap when a delivery comes).
It doesn’t matter how much you know about tea as each packet tells you what temperature the water should be and how long the blend should be left to brew. Each box contains 4 loose leaf tea packets and 4 empty tea bags so if you don’t have a tea strainer you can try them straight away. I found that the small pieces of some of the blends floated out the large holes in my infuser so if you are buying a tea infuser, go for one with small holes.
The tea in the box I was sent:
Rainbow Chaser
This herbal blend looks beautiful and a bit like potpourri. A base flavour of peppermint makes a lovely refreshing tea with other fruit flavours mixed in.
Mighty Mango
A green tea with sunflower blossoms and mango flavouring.
Earl Grey Rebel
A familiar flavour to me as a regular drinker of Earl Grey. This tea smells amazing and the the orange and lemon peel give it a subtle citrusy taste complimenting the tea perfectly.
Vanilla Cupcake
A rooibos with fruit flavours and flower petals. A good complex flavour, but I don’t like rooibos and this didn’t change my mind. Fortunately if you don’t like a type of tea you can let True Tea Club know by leaving a note when you check out.
The people at The True Tea Club have kindly agreed to send a box to the winner of my latest giveaway so if you fancy having a cup or two enter via the Rafflecopter widget below. The winner will be selected at random and giveaway closes midnight Sunday 26th March (that’s Mother’s Day by the way).

Win an eZee Beads Craft Set - Counting To Ten

Expired

When you were little did you play with those little coloured white beads which you had to place carefully on a white pin board before persuading your parents to iron them and preserve your pattern for eternity? I remember spending hours playing with them and my daughter has recently started enjoying creating with them too.
It's funny how you perceive things differently when you are a child to when you are an adult. Thinking back I just remember creating interesting designs. As an adult I value the time M spends quietly concentrating at the table, but I am less keen on picking up all the dropped beads and burning myself on the creation after it's been ironed. Fortunately there are a few products available now which allow you to fuse patterns together without the need for an iron. One of these is eZee Beads by John Adams.
EZee Beads look similar to hama beads and they are used in the same way, but when you are finished with the pattern you spray your beads with water then leave it to dry. Once dry the beads are all stuck together. This is brilliant as it avoids accidental burns by absent minded Mummies (I am largely talking about myself here as I always forget to leave them long enough before touching). It removes the need to involve an adult at all as a child can use the water spray themselves. This has a further benefit, but lets keep it quiet: I might have once or twice knocked designs when taking them to be ironed, displacing a number of the beads and having to quickly reassemble it hopefully in the same design. I rather like that I don't have any responsibility with eZee Beads.
If you would like to try eZee Beads (or give them to a child to play with) I have a box to giveaway. The box is recommended for age 5+ and it contains designs for 4 "under the sea" patterns. You can enter via the Rafflecopter widget below.
Giveaway closes midnight on 21st May 2017. UK entry only, normal T&C's apply and can be viewed via the widget. Thank you to John Adams for providing the giveaway prize.
