Summer is officially here and it’s time to start thinking about ice tea and nights spent on the patio. I love my tea and prefer a warm cup to a cold cup, but this time of year I can’t deny the fact that iced tea is so much more appealing than a steaming hot mug. I just purchased an iced tea pitcher and am ready to dig in to my June Amoda Tea box and see what kind of blends I can brew up and enjoy over ice………maybe garnished with some sliced fruit or mint.

June Details

We’re introducing a new tea box partner this month, Natur’el Tea! Founder, Jolene Brewster, is proud to live and blend tea in the heart of the Rockies – Banff, BC, Canada. Each of her blends “transports you to valleys, meadows, lakes and peaks with its aromatic combinations and gratifying tastes”. Their blends naturally help you sip in mindfulness. Strawberry Green is our first feature from Natur’el. 

Here’s a peek at the blends we received this month……

Strawberry Green

A light and refreshing summer green tea. Like a thin layer of homemade strawberry jam – not too sweet, not overpowering, just yum……lots of yum.

Recommended idea tea method: cold steep 4 hours overnight.

Oh my goodness…..this first blend is speaking to me. I crave strawberries this time of year so this will probably be the first blend I brew up and pour over ice. Imagine this garnished with sliced strawberries and maybe a little bit of mint…..so good.

Black Current

An unassuming black tea with an intoxicating aroma and a cup bursting with flavour. Delicious hot or iced, the tang of the fruit is softened by the rose.

Recommended iced tea method: steep strong & pour over ice.

Here we have a lovely blend that sounds like it would be good hot or iced. I might save this one for my warm morning cup and enjoy it with toast and jam.

Mango Love

The best fruit teas are a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Tropical fruit takes main stage – this is all about the mango.

Recommended ice tea method: steep strong, lightly sweeten & pour over ice.

This blend sounds amazing – mango, apple, orange, pineapple and rosehip. I don’t usually sweeten my tea but I feel like this one calls for a tiny bit of agave. Another one I will definitely be enjoying over ice.

Activate Matcha

A latte & elixir blend giving your body and mind balance during stress, a calm focused energy, mental clarity and nourishment. Matcha forward with naturally sweet, creamy layers.

Recommended iced tea method: Shake vigorously in a mason jar with ice and milk or coconut water.

Yes, yes, yes! This is my favourite kind of tea to receive in my Amoda Tea boxes – Matcha! I’ve never thought of enjoying it iced so I’m really glad they included a recommend ice tea method for this one. This will be a great one to brew up before heading out the door in the morning. Grab a Mason Jar, some coconut milk and maybe a little Maca and you have a lovely drink to enjoy on your drive to work.

Amoda Tea Review June 2018 – Final Thoughts

Wow….I am loving this month’s Amoda Tea box. I typically prefer warm tea and cozy blends but all these fruit flavoured teas are getting me excited for summer. Just look at all those beautiful colors and ingredients – fruit, matcha, rosehip, etc. Amoda Tea put together the perfect collection of teas for June. I wouldn’t change a thing.

XOXO
