***THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED***

Celestial Seasonings has changed the way we drink green tea.  They have announced a new line of green teas, with all the nutrition we love green tea for, but without the bitter taste that usually comes along with it.

How do they do it, you ask? With baby tea leaves- Bai Mu Dan white tea, to be exact. Green tea is made with mature tea leaves that naturally contain high levels of tannins, which cause the bitter taste. By adding the white tea, which comes from the buds and low-tannin young leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, balance out the flavor to eliminate the bitterness.

Celestial Seasonings has also introduced Sleepytime Vanilla, the first new Sleeptime flavor in 20 years.   I tried the Sleepytime Vanilla, and its awesome.  The vanilla flavor really comes through, especially with a little milk splashed in, and since its caffeine free, its perfect to soothe and calm you right before bed.

Celestial Seasonings and Twirlit are giving you a chance to try them all.

The winner of this week’s giveaway will receive one box of each of the following teas:

      Green decaf mint--hoping for a late night stimulating tea, w/o the semi-violent caffeine effect that ruins sleep later

      These teas sound great. I'd be most excited to try the Sleepytime Vanilla; I have awful sleeping issues (it takes me forever to fall asleep at night, and when I do fall asleep I have nightmares and/or wake up periodically throughout the night) so it would be PERFECT if it really works! I follow Twirlit on Twitter and I also tweeted about this post :)
