Mellow Monk Green Tea Giveaway!

30. January 2013 · 127 comments · Categories: Contest, Product Review · Tags: ,

Yuzu Dream Tea by Mellow Monk

Around our house, there’s no argument: Mellow Monk is our favorite Japanese green tea, hands down. That’s why I’m so happy to have two packets of Mellow Monk tea to give away to two lucky readers.

I first discovered Mellow Monk several years ago when I had the opportunity to review them here. Ever since that first taste, we’ve kept some in stock at the house; in fact, it’s become a Christmas tradition for my husband to find some in his stocking each year. I’ll tell you what makes these teas so special: They’re truly artisanal, grown on small family farms in Japan. And since the company finds sustainable, environmental stewardship to be very important, you can feel good about any purchase you make.

Green tea lovers will enjoy browsing their selection of eleven exquisite teas. The two I’ll be giving away are Top Monk and Yuzu Dream. Top Monk is one of their bestsellers and is possibly our favorite as well (although Mountain Snow, this year’s stocking stuffer, is making it tougher for me to say that). It’s a clean tasting tea that earns the stamp of “mellow”, and we like its silky smoothness. Yuzu Dream is a green tea with sun-dried yuzu peel and is described as “sweet, tangy, and earthy, with citron flavors and notes of orange blossom and rose.” Sounds to me like we might need to stuff a spring stocking!

I’ll be choosing two winners for this giveaway. The Top Leaf tea contains 100 grams of loose leaf tea ($14.95 retail) and Yuzu Dream contains 50 grams of loose leaf tea ($21.95 retail). Follow the simple instructions below to get yourself entered. Or if you’re too darned impatient (I sympathize), visit Mellow Monk now and place your order. You’ll be enjoying a delicious cup before you can say, “Arigatou”.

How to Enter (Do one or all three for multiple entries):

1.) Visit Mellow Monk and check out their tea selection. Come back here and leave a comment telling me which tea appeals to you most.

2.) Follow me on Facebook at the Diane Kidman fan page, then come back here and let me know you did!

3.) Tweet, blog about, and/or post a link to this giveaway on your Facebook page. Then come back and let me know you did! (I’m @dkmommy on Twitter, by the way.)

Winners for the Mellow Monk Green Tea giveaway will be chosen on February 7, 2013.

It’s Alive! New ebook “Teas for Life: 101 Herbal Teas for Greater Health” Hits the Virtual Shelves

01. June 2012 · Comments Off · Categories: Books, Health, Herbalism · Tags: , ,

After a flurry of typing, retyping, editing, and the partaking of gallons of supportive herbal teas, my new ebook is ready for public consumption. “Teas for Life: 101 Herbal Teas for Greater Health” is ebook #4, and this time we’re talking about brewing up health by the mugful. Learn what the teas are good for, how much to drink, what’s in them that makes them so special, and even get a smattering of useless (but highly entertaining) trivia.

Who said reference books should be boring? No snoozaroo reading here. Yes, it’s a reference. But since writing straight stuff puts me to sleep, you’ll get great info with a twist in “Teas for Health”.

If you don’t already have a free Kindle app for your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, etc., be sure to get one so you can keep this ebook handy. Keep it on your iPhone so it can go herb shopping with you.

I’m excited about this ebook. I think you’ll find the information extremely useful, especially if you’re aiming to keep your family on a natural path, or if you’re just plain sick of paying for prescription medications that offer more side effects than solutions. And if you just plain enjoy drinking tea, you’ll be able to wow your fellow tea-sippers with some unique information. You will be able to say things such as, “Hey, Jerry, I noticed you’re a bit high strung lately. How’s about a nice celery seed tea?”

“Teas for Life.” It’s alive, it’s about tea, and it’s kinda funny, too.

Teas for Life - It's Alive! And it's full of tea.
