In our house we love Tetley Tea so it was so exciting for the company to contact me about their new colour therapy line of teas! The premise? That colour can impact our lives for the better and how you can influence your mood by selecting a colour corresponding to one of their herbal teas. They even agreed to do a giveaway for approximately $70 worth of their product! This particular contest is open to residents of Canada, excluding Quebec.
According to their quiz, I was in need of Warmth. Considering it is winter in Canada, this makes sense! I even did the quiz twice on two different days but nope, I still needed the warming of cinnamon spice with orange blossom. Tetley sent me a sample of their Warmth tea and on a cold day I brewed a mug with some honey. As you can see, the colour is like amber and did warm me up just by looking at it.
As I drank it, I felt transported away, not just by cinnamon and spice but there was something else that made me connect with a faraway place. Sure enough, I checked the ingredients and found out there is roobios in this tea which gives it that other-worldy warm and sunny flavour of South Africa! Sometimes roobios can be overpowering but with the other ingredients, this tea was balanced perfectly. They were right, this is the tea I need right now to get me through winter.
So one of my lucky Canadian readers is going to win that cool colour therapy basket worth around $70! How do you enter? Just leave a comment and I would love to hear about your favourite kind of tea if you don’t mind sharing. Contest closes Thursday December 16th and make sure to leave contact info please!
Good luck everybody!

aliceinparis says
Ooh lovely!Suzie, what a generous prize.I am a huge tea fan. I think I would really enjoy the ‘warmth’ tea. Cinnamon and rooibos are faves of mine.
Debra She Who Seeks says
Yes, please enter me! I love Tetley tea and my absolute favourite is Earl Grey. No other brand will do — Tetley has the PERFECT amount of bergamot in it and, as we all know, it’s the quality and quantity of the bergamot that makes or breaks an Earl Grey blend.
Suzie Ridler says
Wow, masala tea? Like made with garam masala?
Shelagh, if you like cinnamon and roobios, that Warmth Tea is made for you!
Debra, we buy their decaf Earl Grey tea all the time and even that one is perfectly balanced. Great bergamot flavour, I envy that you can have their caffeinated version!
Good luck everyone! Thank you so much for entering.

I must admit i am usually not much of a tea drinker, as I have yet to find one that I really enjoy, however I love the tetley tea over other brands. This chilly morning, seems like the perfect morning to grab a cup of tea and have a relaxing bath before the busy day begins. You blog is amazing keep up the great work!

My favourite tea is green jasmine tea from Herbal Republic – loose leaf and organic.
Michelle says
OOOH. Exciting! It’s hard to pick a favourite tea. I love both Earl Grey and Darjeeling and of course Chai is absolutely fabulous. And then there are all the fabulous herbal teas…. it completely depends on my mood. Right now though your warmth tea sounds perfect! (Damn snow!!)
Kenora says
Oooh, I can’t pick just one favourite – it depends on when and why I’m having tea to begin with. If I’m having a wake-up tea, I love Irish Breakfast or Scottish Breakfast. If I feel a cold coming on, I’ll drink ginger tea or Oolong. If I want to relax, I’ll have chocolate spice tea or, if I want herbal, I’ll have mint or, one of my new favourites, Calm, which is chamomile and spearmint (and lemongrass). I love chai almost anytime, especially in the winter when it’s cold and damp. And in the summer, fruity iced teas!
JulieB says
I like a stronger brewed tea, my grandma dips the bag and that’s it! But this is the same woman that likes plain hot water too. YUCK!
I like tea the most when I am not feeling well. It warms me up from the inside out….and is even better with a bit of brandy and honey. 🙂
Laura D says
What a great giveaway! I am a tea fanatic. We have a designated tea cupboard with tons of different types. I think my favourite kinds would have to be Chai or Earl Grey.

Mrs. Sunnyside Up says
At this point in my life, after moving to Canada from Arizona, I am in LOVE with tea! And now we are trying to get pregnant I have been informed to drink tea, lots of herbal tea, peppermint tea. I need all the tea I can get, LOL! I never thought I’d say this but it does relax me and makes all the snow and slips and falls on the icey steps not feel so bad, LOL!
I’d love to win the prize. I myself have started blogging about our journey through fertility and moving to Canada and just being newlyweds, WHEW! Do you need a cup of tea? I sure do!! LOL! 🙂
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Respectful & Anticipating a winning email,

Suzie I am doing the contest on my blog also. Love the tea and the Color therapy quiz. My color was purple. (Don’t enter me in the contest).
Have a great day!
Erika Lutz-Stokes says
I’d love to be entered ^^
I’m a little sad to see no truly hearty tea in their lineup (I’m a fan of strongly brewed Chai Spice and Earl and Lady Grey) but Warmth looks amazing, and Cleanse would be perfect during a winter cold!
Queen says
I have a ton of different types of teas and teapots… in fact… many years ago for my bridal shower I was thrown a “tea shower” and have the most wonderful and meaningful pots from folks who I’m sad to say are no longer with us. But how lovely to have the memories. Tea for me… Tetley only! I think it’s a Newfoundland thing… but a half dozen cups of Tetley a day is so important… and when shared with friends… even better!
Maggie says
OOooh this giveaway is wonderful!
My special tea is Chai from STASH. I got into it after drinking chai latte’s. I realized I didn’t really care for the milk part of the latte just the chai taste! mmm yummy! I also love Tetley tea..it’s my good, daily ole realiable 🙂

Alexis says
I must admit that I have never tried tea. This basket would help me take the plunge.
AbsolutelyPrimed says
Tea is an amazing comfort in the Winter months! It’s my ‘after work’ therapy…sitting down with a cup of my current favorite (Honey Lemon Ginseng) and watching a Dr. Who rerun :o)
I’ve discovered the tea selection in the town I just moved to is rather limited and would love to be entered to win the Gift Basket
April says
I wish the weather was better here today so I could go out and get some tea! I’ve got a nice Tetley mint in the cupboard, but the colour quiz says I should be drinking Cinnamon Spice today!
Jamie Ridler says
I’d absolutely LOVE to win all that yummy tea. What a wonderful way to stock up for the season and have lots to share!
My favourite is and likely will always be good old-fashioned English Breakfast tea!
Nicole-Lynn says
What a generous giveaway! I enjoy drinking chamomille tea as well as green tea.

I got “Dream” (blue) which sounds yummy right about now. I love Chai. Or sometimes Lady Grey (Earl Grey’s lesser known lady friend).
I love the concept of color tea therapy…

Hi Suzie. The new line of Tetly tea sounds fantastic! Dad always drank Tetly Tea when I was groing up so it’s a pretty familiar brand for me. When I saw your article I went go my cupboard to see what my favorite tea was. I have a few, but there was one in particular that I love – I just couldn’t remember who makes it. Turns out it was Tetly’s Chai tea. I find it to be a comforting and somewhat exotic tea, great for a cool winter’s night!
Emily B says
I love President’s Choice Chocolatey Chai tea for winter evenings. It’s spicy and yummy. But my regular go-to tea is Tetley’s decaf orange pekoe – that’s the one I drink about 3x a day (thank goodness it comes in decaf!).

Love this contest, it’s so generous of you. I’m in for this!
I personally love tea, I have been drinking tea everyday. My favorite tea is Green team Chai Tea, Herbs tea and Black tea. Tetley mint green tea is my favorite.
Divaeva says
Wow! What a wonderful gift basket! I love pretty much any kind of chai tea… my latest obsession is fancy foo fooey tea shops… who knew you could find such fantastic flavors in made by Tetley?
Colleen says
I took the quiz and it turns out that I am turquoise! I would love to win this prize – my hubby is a real tea drinker, so we go through a lot of tea – and we like a lot of variety. So this basket would be an awesome gift for us!
Thanks for the giveaway and chance to win!

I was a diehard coffee drinker but lately have been experimenting with tea, make a big steaming mug and read the paper.

I love Rooibas, and the Nova Scotia Tea Company makes the best loose leaf tea I’ve ever had. Their lemon rooibas is particularly amazing! For everyday tea, I like their Maritime Morning tea. 🙂

Just this once I am leaving a comment for someone who can leave a comment on other pages but for some reason not this one. Joannie:
“I have been drinking a lot of green tea for the health benefits, but I don’t actually like it. I have recently rediscovered to Rooibos tea, which tastes very “smooth” to me, and I find it very soothing. But I wondered if it was as good for me, so I “googled” it and learned that Rooibos tea does indeed have a number of health benefits! So I don’t have to feel guilty about liking it better than green tea. 🙂 “
I’d love to win the tea assortment!
Nigel says
Woohoo! Tea is good… yes, people know me as a coffee drinker, but tea has it’s place too.
As for my favorite, it’s Yorkshire Gold tea, nice rich strong flavored black tea.
Jeannie Ward says
I love tea, drink it pretty much everyday though my tastes often change. Right now I am big into Rooibos teas, especially since it is caffeine free – Special Teas in Victoria sells the best loose leaf teas and I am drinking Organic Rooibos Black Forest a lot right now. Tetley does have a vanilla rooibos that I love as well!
fionna says
Fionna wants to sip some tea.
I love green tea.
Glogirl says

Love the sound of that Warmth tea, would love to win some but will definitely keep an eye out for this. As for my fave tea, a traditional Orange Pekoe, bit of sugar, bit of honey. Tea is such a comfort and thanks for the great giveaway opportunity.
