My husband and I love to serve tea on Shabbat afternoon.
We usually have a basket full of different flavors, so everyone can pick their favorites. I prefer mint or cinnamon, while Frakie’s favs are the fruity ones.
Thanks to the wonderful world of free samples, we have gotten to try a number of new companies over the years. But last month, I discovered our new Shabbat standard: Red Rose Simply Indulgent.
This organic, fair trade and kosher-certified tea (KVH) is fabulous!
Red Rose sent me their four new Simply Indulgent flavors to try and we were wowed: Cinnamon Streusel and Lemon Chiffon – both of which are decaf, plus Creme Caramel and Peach Cobbler.
As my husband said, “That tea those Red Rose people sent you? I have tried them all and they are great. Really, really great.” (His favorite is a toss-up between Creme Caramel and Peach Cobbler.)
I couldn’t agree with Frankie more. Except my favorite is, predictably, the Cinnamon Streusel.
I know you all will love Red Rose, too. Which is why I’m so pleased that the company wants to give away one Simply Indulgent Prize Pack to a KOAB reader.
The prize pack includes one box of each of their four new flavors, along with a very cool chalkboard coffee cup.
Here’s how to enter the Red Rose giveaway:
(Remember, each comment is considered a entry – so please leave a separate comment for each one.)
Required entry: Leave me a comment telling me your favorite tea flavor.
Optional entry #1: Subscribe to the Kosher on a Budget daily email newsletter – then leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. (If you’re already a subscriber, that’s great – just say so in your comment.)
Optional entry #2: Follow Kosher on a Budget on Pinterest – then leave a separate comment letting me know you have done so. (If you already follow me on Pinterest, thank you – just say so in your comment.)
This contest will be open until the end of the day on Wednesday, October 3, 2012. The winner will be notified by email and have 48 hours to respond before another winner is chosen. Hatzlacha!
Disclosure: Red Rose Tea provided KOAB with a sample for review and will provide the giveaway prize. I was not compensated in any way to share my positive opinions (nor those of my husband). For more information, please see my disclosure statement.
I’m all for tea!
I love lots of teas, but I found a spearmint chamomile at Kroger recently that was really great. I also like Jasmine Green Tea, Irish Breakfast for getting caffeinated first thing in the morning, and regular or decaf Chai tea.
Also, I already follow you on Pinterest 🙂
My favorite tea is London Fruit and Herb company, strawberry vanilla. I can only find it in Israel 🙁

I love a simple spearmint with some milk in it – when I was younger, I had a friend whose father was British and I picked up that habit from being there so often!

Hmmm… my favorite teas include Lemon Lift (Bigelow), Constant Comment (Bigelow), Lady Gray (Twinings), Gingerbread Spice (Celestial Seasonings, a seasonal tea available typically in late October through early December), and Nutcracker Sweet (Celestial Seasonings, a seasonal tea available typically in late October through early December). For loose leaf tea, I enjoy a good roiboos – off the top of my head, I cannot remember the name of the company that I buy.

Favorite flavor tea really depends on my mood; usually mint, though I’m more of a coffee drinker. But these new flavors sound very tempting! My son loves the Wissotsky teas and brought us several boxes from Israel last year.

I didn’t know Red Rose had flavored teas! My father, z”l, only drank Red Rose – 4-5 cups a day. Red Rose is #1 in our family!!

I used to be all a die hard Earl Grey fan, but ever since my last pregnancy I just can’t have enough Spearmint. 🙂 And there’s always room for Yerba Mate – thigh pretty sure Red Rose doesn’t have that one…
I subscribe to your email list. Btw, do they still pack the Red Rose tea with those little figurines? My mom always gets this brand and has such a collection!
Mine didn’t come with the figurines – I wonder if it’s their original line only?

hi! I already subscribe to your emails and I LOVE tea! Chag sameach!
I didn’t know that Red Rose made flavored teas. I have many fond memories of opening the new box of Red Rose tea and finding a new animal figurine (still have my collection to this day). When I drink tea I normally drink regular black or green plain however I think I may need to try the Peach Cobbler tea featured above. It sounds delicious!
