Its time for another GIVEAWAY!!

Hey everyone! Being that its fall, flu season, and just plain getting cold out, I have the perfect GIVEAWAY for you all… TEA! I was contacted a little while back from a company called Sun Chlorella USA. They must have noticed how much I love tea (I have tons of tea in my pantry, it practically falls out every time I open the door) and offered to send me a sample of their Infuse Your Mood tea.

Infuse Your Mood is 100% natural and caffeine-free (yay!). The main component of this tea is leaves from the eluthero plant. When I first was asked to review this tea, I realized I wasn’t sure what eleuthero was so I did some research. What I found was that eleuthero is a small plant whose roots are commonly used in Chinese medicine.

How is this important for runners/athletes?

Well two things stuck out to me… first, it has anti-inflammatory properties. Second, some research has shown that eleuthero improves the use of oxygen by the exercising muscle. That means increasing your ability to run longer and recover faster since our muscles need oxygen for this! Some other benefits include:

Heightens sense of well-being
Improves concentration and memory
Supports physical endurance
Decreases blood pressure
So what do I think of Infuse Your Mood?
Now, I’m not sure if drinking this tea actually made me calmer or anything but it did taste really good! Plus, the root of the plant base has been shown to have positive benefits that are beneficial to athletes/runners (that I talked about above), so its a win-win really.
A few weeks ago, I was really sick and trying to push through the end of my first fieldwork. I immediately reached for one of these tea packets to soothe my throat. Not only did it do that, but it gave me energy to get through my day (even without caffeine!). I was so impressed by how great I felt after I had the tea that I knew I had to share this with you all.
My only suggestion for drinking this is to add a bit of Truvia to it to sweeten it up. It could be just me, but I always drink tea with a bit of sweetener. With it, it tastes perfect but without its just a little too bitter for me, similar to how I feel about green tea.
Overall though this tea is really tasty, and I love that its caffeine free so I can drink it in the evening!

    I love chamomile and lemon tea, in fact, now when I’m thinking of it I should try to drink tea more often and not only stick to my beloved coffee… :)

    I love every type of coffee and tea I have ever tried (and that number is very high!). My go-to’s are plain, black French Roast coffee, chai tea (or chai tea lattes), or mate.

    My favorite flavor of tea (I don’t drink coffee) has to be blueberry! It’s fruiting but it’s not the fake fruity that I find some berry teas to be like.
