Amoda Tea Review July 2017
If you aren’t familiar with Amoda Tea it is a monthly tea subscription box that lets you explore the industry’s best tasting teas and the talented, small-batch brands that produce them. Every month you’ll receive 4 different tea samples, steeping instructions, tasting notes, biodegradable tea filters and exclusive membership perks.
July Details
Ready for more iced teas? All four teas taste great both hot and iced. We fell in love with the chai as an iced latte sweetened with a touch of maple syrup. The key to getting health benefits out of that one is an extra long steep in freshly boiled water before you pour it over ice.
I just love Amoda Tea! This box is so consistent and on trend with the seasons. It is 100% iced tea season and I can’t wait to dive into some of these.
Anti-Inflammatory Chai
This is a great example of amazing taste mixed with incredible function. The herbs in this help reduce inflammation throughout the body. Try this as an iced latte! Steep for 15 minutes in a small amount of water. Pour over ice and add cold almond milk.
Wow! Why haven’t I thought of iced tea lattes?! I feel like a whole new world of steeping just opened up for me. I also love the suggestion of almond milk. This is a must try…. Like, right now.
Little Berry Hibiscus
The ideal balance of tart and sweet ingredients to make the most delicious combo. A full-bodied blueberry finish, hints of citrus and notes of honey from the rooibos. The hibiscus & lemongrass in this blend were grown by the Women’s Coop in Kenya.
Blueberry and citrus might just be my new favourite combination. I haven’t even tried this yet and I already want to know where I can purchase more.
Emerald City
Cooling and refreshing are words that come to mind when we think of iced tea. A great way to achieve this is with mint and Emerald City has two kinds! Peppermint is the cooling of the two herbs. Fun fact: American peppermint is the best in the world with the highest volatile oils.
Peppermint tea is often my go-to tea. I love it chilled and it’s a great way to stay hydrated. This sounds like a pool-side sipper.
Strawberry Lemonade
One of our favourites for the summer, the flavours taste very natural and do not overwhelm the black tea. This is the one to replace the typical iced black tea with lemon. Organic cane sugar is our sweetener of choice for this one.
This sounds like a desert! I may have to float some fresh berries and lemon slices in this one.
Amoda Tea July 2017 – Final Thoughts
Loving this month’s box! All these teas are right up my alley and I would try any of them either hot or cold! There is a lot of fruit represented here, which I love for iced teas. I also love the inclusion of a chai, as I would not have thought of chai for an iced tea, but now that I see it it seems so obvious. Amoda is such a consistent box and a must for any tea lover. It’s the perfect way to keep your tea stash stocked, whether it’s at work, home or if you’re one of those people who like to take tea with you in your purse. I don’t think I have been disappointed with any box I have received from Amoda.
