Bring a tea kettle into your life
In my last post, I waxed on poetic about the joys of an electric tea kettle. I said in that post how I'd never seen one until I moved to England.
That's kind of not true. I had seen them. They're in Wal-Mart and Target, and even Bed, Bath and Beyond. I just didn't know what they were, or why I would need one.
The electric tea kettle is part of daily home and office life in England. At my work's offices in Woking there are typically 4 kettles on the go on every floor of the office, at every moment of the day. The office even provides tea bags, hot chocolate powder, and instant coffee (which is better than you imagine) for the entire building. Along with bread, butter, milk and fruit - oh, the joys of working in a European office!
I think that electric tea kettles should be in every home and office in America too. That much tea flowing, we'd all be a lot calmer!
I want to bring the joys of an electric tea kettle to your home.
That's why I've decided to give away the following tea-loving package:
(1) Aroma AWK-115S Hot H20 X-Press 1-½-Liter Cordless Water Kettle
(1) 6 pack Twinings Variety Pack of Four Flavors, Tea Bags, 20-Count Boxes (in case you're as bad at math as I am, that's 120 tea bags in 4 flavors: English breakfast, Earl Grey, Lady Grey and Irish breakfast teas)
What you've got to do to get it:
Each of these counts as 1 entry. You don't have to do all to have an entry. Please leave 1 comment for each item that you do. If you've already entered and didn't do that, it's okay - I'll count them just this once. 😉

My current favorite flavor is Assam black tea. It's malty and strong, and tastes beautiful with milk or half and half and a little sugar or Splenda.

Wow! Great giveaway offer! Thanks!
I hope I don't have to do all of the things on the list to enter because I don't do Facebook (I know, I'm weird).
BUT, I already follow you on Twitter and I already subscribe to you (cuz you're fabulous!), and my favorite tea is Zen by Tazo Starbucks tea! It's green tea with spearmint and lemongrass. Mmmm! 🙂
I subscribe to your blog, and I adore apricot tea!
Ok.... I have been wanting one of these kettles for some time and would LOVE to win this, plus the teas!
I subscribed to the email feed, and confirmed it.
I "Liked" you on Facebook.
I already follow you on Twitter, and I tweeted about the giveaway.
My favorite tea is Earl Grey, and I love the Twinings Lady Grey too (it's why I'm kinda stoked about the giveaway....) and I take my tea straight up black. No embellishments.
My favorite tea is Earl Gray, but Orange Pekoe and Peppermint come in close! Earl Gray is wonderful with just a bloop of milk, steeped in a teapot!
Orange Pekoe is great with milk and sugar- gotta be both!!
Finally, I favor Irish breakfast tea but am on a kick of drinking peppermint tea lately. I add just a packet of Ideal and stir.
I subscribed to your email list!
