If you've been a reader of this blog for awhile, you've probably noticed that I am a big fan of two things: vegetables and tea. It is for this reason today that I am ecstatic to share my latest and greatest discovery with you: savory tea.
What the heck is savory tea? I'm so glad you asked!
Savory Tea is essentially savory blends of veggies combined with spices and tea infusions to create a soothing, comforting beverage. I know it sounds a little strange at first, but stick with me here because your entire world is about to change.
I was recently contacted by Numi and asked if I was interested in trying their new Savory Tea blends: broccoli cilantro, carrot curry, fennel spice, beet cabbage, spinach chive, and tomato mint. My answer? Absolutely. You had me at broccoli cilantro.
Over the past month I've been testing these out and let me tell you: I am in love. Living in Seattle means I am subjected to many cold, rainy grey days and I often drink a lot of tea just to stay warm and help me cope with the weather. What I loved about these blends is that they have the same comforting feeling as a hot cup of soup, but are just as easy to prepare as tea.
I will admit that at first it was a little strange to have a savory cup of tea because I'm used to sweeter blends like rooibus or my mate chai. However, once I knew what to expect, I began to find myself craving these, especially in the late afternoon when I typically want a snack. I don't think these are filling enough to use as a meal replacement, but they did help with cravings. These were also fabulous for traveling because they were convenient to have on-the-go since all you need is hot water to brew them.
I was so impressed with the teas that I asked the nice people at Numi if they'd be willing to let me host a giveaway so I could share these with all of you. I'm happy to announce that 5 lucky readers will get a chance to sample some savory teas of their own!
