Revive, Relax with Mighty Leaf Tea {Giveaway}

Despite winter's end, tea season is not over for me.  I enjoy it hot throughout the year, and of course iced in summer.  Last summer I went out of my way to prepare good quality iced teas (no typical orange pekoe for me) and I'm so glad I did--what a treat.

And now that I've added homemade kombucha to the mix, anything is possible.

Tea is a great incentive to take a 10 minute relaxing break, and while I won't say it's anything close to a spa treatment, it is a nice bit of respite from the chaos of a day.

When I was an undergrad, my college had a gorgeous Japanese tea house where they hosted traditional tea ceremonies.  There was also another Japanese tea house and gardens in Philadelphia (Shofuso in Fairmount park) that for me was a place of quiet transformation.  As a 20-something, I loved walking around the grounds, enveloped in a sense of calm after living in the middle of the busy city.

It's amazing how sensory experiences like place, smells, music and food can transform your mood, which is probably why many of us take breaks for coffee and tea.

One brand of tea that I treat myself to, Mighty Leaf, is crafted with high-quality ingredients, including whole leaf teas.  You can actually see the whole tea leaves in the pouches, not just dust from who-knows-what remnants you get in cheap tea.
