Today I thought I’d chat about a different product that I just love. Combining a book and tea duo in one package! What’s even better is this is a children’s book and herbal tea duo, lending me the chance to share this experience with my kids!
Let’s start with the book-Crimson and the Battle of the Lonely Mountain. I don’t want to give too much away but this book is perfect for any child whose imagination knows no limits. I would have adored this book when I was a child. I have two boys that I thought might enjoy this book and after some bribing (they thought it was just a girl book) we sat down and read the book together. My 11 year old could have read the book on his own no problem but my 7 year old needed a bit of help. (The book is more chapter book like without a lot of illustrations).
Overall they did enjoy the book, can’t say they would have read it on their own, but they enjoyed the story. I loved spending and reading the book with them. The book is well written and emits a wonderful vibe of teaching lessons through the story. A wonderful way to talk to your kids about the importance of being kind to all.
Now to the tea. This tea is blended by one of my favorite tea companies-Mountain Witch Tea Company. I’ve always loved their teas and was 
super excited when I noticed this herbal tea was made by them. Crimson Tea is a lovely blend of pomegranate, hibiscus, lavender buds, rose petals, and lemon peel. The perfect way to end your day.
Brewed up at 212F and allowed to brew for about 5 minutes, this tea gives you that lovely chamomile flavor with hints of a sweet floral undertone. As the tea cools, the hibiscus does start to shine and creates a tartness that compliments the sweet floral notes nicely. If you aren’t a fan of hibiscus, you may want to drink this one down while its still warm to avoid becoming too tart.
All in all, a great herbal that will be enjoyed for many nights to come. Chamomile is a major component of the tea so if you aren’t a fan of heavy chamomile herbals, this may not be for you.
We loved enjoying the tea while we read the book. Such a great pairing! I’m excited to share this book and tea with my fellow sisters to see what their thoughts are!
