This post, How to Have a Cozy Autumn Morning, is sponsored by Pure Leaf but the content & opinions expressed here are my own.
Fall is the perfect time to sip on a mug of hot tea. Sprinkle in some Netflix & a cozy velvet blanket & that's my definition of perfection. I like hot tea throughout the year — yes, even during the San Diego summer — but I enjoy it most when it's chilly outside.
I recently stocked up on some Pure Leaf hot tea from Albertson's to get me through the season, opting for their Green Tea with Mint & Black Tea with Vanilla. Both teas come with 16 pyramid bags in a resealable container. Pure Leaf tea leaves are picked, rolled, & crafted with the finest tea leaves from tea estates around the world.
The Black Tea with Vanilla combines Indian Assam tea with Madagascan vanilla beans to create a rich aroma & smooth taste. I like to include a generous splash of soy milk to my tea, but it tastes delightful without it because the vanilla shines through.
I chose the Pure Leaf hot Green Tea with Mint because I'm trying to incorporate more green tea into my life. The real peppermint leaves refresh your palate & add so much flavor. I love this tea since it leans more toward the minty side.

For the best taste experience possible, pour 8 fluid oz of hot water over one pyramid tea bag & steep for three minutes. Write down your to do list for the day as your tea steeps to perfection. I prefer using gel pens since they make me feel happy.
I write this in Portland, Oregon, where the temperatures are a drastic drop from sunny San Diego. Tea is most definitely on my mind. You can get $1 off Pure Leaf when you purchase at VONS/Pavilions, Albertson’s, & Safeway.

Nothing better than warming up with a hot drink on a chilly day! Vanilla tea is one of my current favorites.
ReplyDeleteYour wooden tray is so cute - I have been after one like that for ages! The black tea and vanillia tea sounds quite yummy - perfect for a winter warm up :) xx

Pure Leaf seems to be so good... I like black tea, vanilla, mint, so many flavours! They are perfect for a rainy autumn morning... or any time of the day! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

I'm not the biggest tea drinker, I much prefer coffee but sometimes you need something a little more gentle to start the day!

As an English girl through and through, I definitely can relate to your love of tea. Nothing beats a good brew, especially in UK Winter!

I absolutely adore tea! I'm a PG Tips gal at heart but I've really been loving the flavoured Twinings green teas like Gingerbread and Caramelised Apple - cause I'm the same I want to try and incorporate green teas into my day (cause with the amount of tea I drink a day, it would be great to have something a bit healthier)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this brand, are they American? I'll have to keep an eye out for them back here in England - the vanilla one sounds lovely and soothing and the mint is always a good idea too. Must be so nice and fresh in the mornings!

Peppermint tea and candles definitely get me started in the morning - I just love the cozy atmosphere they create and gentle preparing for the working day.

This sounds perfect for a cold wintery morning! I am not a huge fan of tea, I am more of a hot chocolate kind of girl but my fiance loves tea and we keep all kinds of it in our house! x

Cozy autumn mornings are the best. :]
ReplyDeleteI don't have much vanilla tea experience, so this was a yummy start. What's your favorite? :]
ReplyDeleteI got it at Crate + Barrel! Definitely a great investment piece. :]
ReplyDeleteI probably drink enough tea for the both of us. Are you more of a coffee person? :]
ReplyDeleteMe too. :]
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Green Tea with Mint right now. So refreshing & invigorating. :]
ReplyDeleteExactly Pam, that's why I prefer tea. Coffee can make me a bit too wired. :]
ReplyDeleteTea lovers unite! :]
ReplyDeleteThis is true. :]
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried PG Tips. I just Googled it & don't think we have it here! Twinings is great though. Gingerbread!?!?!? Yes please. Pure Leaf is American & definitely up & coming. :]
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Do you have a favorite flavor? :]
ReplyDeleteHaha why thank you. :]
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes! You described the perfect morning. :]
ReplyDeleteOh yes! :]
ReplyDeleteThanks Nevena!
ReplyDeleteHot chocolate is pretty tasty as well - although, not nearly as many varieties as tea or coffee. :]
