Giveaway Break - StripTeas
Unlike most tea bags that contain bits of burnt stems and plant byproduct rather than actual tea, StripTeas contain whole, real tea leaves masterfully blended with exotic spices and delectable herbs.
Stripteas’ innovative recyclable foil infusers are fresh, sophisticated, and practical. 100% natural and equally healthy, we know you’ll agree that StripTeas are beautiful inside and out.
I was excited to see they have 'Darjeeling' tea and I can't wait to try it out. Darjeeling was my first weekend trip in India and I drank the best tea of my life there!
Enter to win a box of StripTeas...your choice of flavor!
