*National Iced Tea Month Promo*
Yera Dé Herbal Teas is running a Special Promotion til the end of June- Buy 2 Packages of Island Getaway and Receive a FREE Maté Mint & Organic Dragonwell Green Tea 1 oz. Sampler!
June is National Iced Tea Month
and we've been celebrating as often as possible!
How 'bout you?
Start today by making some Chamomile iced cubes or a refreshing cup of cold Green Tea, Rooibos Chai, Ginger Mint, Maté Límon, Vanilla Dusk, Positive Vibes or Maté Sky!
If you have a favorite iced tea, please leave a post and let us know what it is!
Here are a few fun iced tea facts:
Iced tea's popularity led to the introduction of the iced tea spoon. Its long handle allowed sugar to be added to a fashionably tall glass filled with iced tea.
About 80 percent of the tea served in the US today is iced tea.
Early on, American housewives brewed and mixed tea with various fruits, juices and syrups for a Tea Punch.
To celebrate National Iced Tea Month, freeze little slices of lemon in ice cubes or make limeade ice cubes for a refreshing touch in iced tea. Also, seltzer water added to iced tea creates a refreshing, flavored spritzer, or if you are ready to "kick it up a notch", add a splash of citrus vodka to iced tea.
Please note that June is also Turkey Lover's Month, National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month, National Papaya Month, National Dairy Month and National Frozen Yogurt Month.

Calling All Tea-Enthusiasts & Dad-Lovers!
Stuck on what to do for dear-old dad? Bored of buying neckties and greeting cards?
Well, this year I encourage you to treat one of the most important men in your life — your Dad— to a special celebration! Do something nice for that wonderful man that bounced you on their knee as a baby and taught you to ride bikes and drive cars and who continues to inspire your love and respect... Throw him a special, one-of-a-kind Father’s Day Tea Party today (or anyday!)
*Also a great idea for Grandpas and Husbands and Brothers too! In fact, just invite the whole family for a day of fun in the sun and tasty tea!
Men throughout the world enjoy tea, drinking anything from a delicate pale white tea- such as Bai Hao Yin Zhen (from the Fujian province in China) to a bold, black Assam with its delicious malty palate. Depending on personal preference, your dad might even be a spicy Chai guy or perhaps prefer some iced Peppermint or even a mellow Chamomile.
STEP 1: Pick a theme for your tea party
Remember, it’s all about HIM. Pick a theme that is centered around something he really enjoys doing.
A few fun examples could be:
Golf Lover’s Tea, with grass-green décor and golf-themed food.
Favorite Sports Team Tea, using your dad’s favorite team colors throughout your décor.
Camping Tea, complete with tent and camp cups and plates.
Mechanic’s Tea, with lots of tools among the décor and overalls for outfits.
Variety Tea, with tea-sampling and a Smörgåsbord of yummy treats.
Beach Day Tea, complete with beach chairs, towels and games & pitchers of fruity iced tea.
The possibilities are endless!
STEP 2: Pick a location and decorate it
As they say in the realty game: Location, location, location! Pick one that’s appropriate and decorate it around your theme.
STEP 3: Decide your menu
There are some teas processed and blended for particular occasions, but I don’t know of any specifically for Father’s Day. So, you could serve bold breakfast blacks or go with some special green teas or even explore the wonderful world of herbal blends!
(all available at Yera Dé Herbal Teas wink, wink!)
Whatever teas you select will help you select the foods to serve. Or you can pick the foods first, in keeping with your theme, and then select an appropriate tea to pair. For example, a fun food idea for a Golf Lover’s Tea Party would be little round cookies or donut holes, rolled in powdered sugar to resemble golf balls and placed on grass-green paper plates to add to that golf look and feel.
If you’re grilling, pick a tea to go with hamburgers, grilled chicken or fish, etc. Something strong like Ceylon, Darjeeling, Assam, Nilgiri, and Kenyan would be appropriate. If you want it iced, brew it up hot first, then pour into a pitcher and place in the refrigerator overnight. You can add sweetener and flavorings such as mint to the pitcher or let each guest add their own.
STEP 4: Enjoy!
Wishing you all a Happy Father’s Day!
