Mighty Tea - Orange Dulce Tea Review

I am not the biggest of tea drinkers.  Sure I may be Canadian but honestly I don't like plain black tea with milk and sugar in it.  I'm not a fan of any other kind of tea in general either.  As a member of makeupalley.com and swapping I was sent some pouches of Mighty Tea's Orange Dulce.  Oh My Goodness!  This tea is enough to turn even a non tea drinker such as myself into a tea drinker!

So even if you are a tea lover of different flavours or one who likes plain black tea with sugar (and milk) you should give Mighty Tea's Orange Dulce a try.  It might give you a whole new respect for flavoured tea.

I have been drinking this tea now for over 7 years.  I don't drink it daily.  I do drink it on cold days and on some hot ones too.  It is sweet and delicious.  It has vanilla and a chocolate flavour to it.  It is way more than tea.  It is a drink experience.

I usually purchase it in a box with 15 pouches individually wrapped so I can take it with me.  I fly 3 to 4 times a year and I like to drink this sometimes on an early morning flight.  Since it comes individually wrapped it is so easy to carry with you in your carry on or purse, even to work.

The best part of this tea is that you don't really need to add sugar to it as it has it's own sweet flavour to it and if you need sugar you only need about half a teaspoon of it.  Now I do add milk to it and many of you probably won't do that.  I find that after dinner I like this best instead of a dessert.  It fills my dessert need and not my calorie count.  On a cold evening I like to sit by the fire and drink this.  mmmmmm

Orange Dulce black tea is a luscious, rich brew teeming with notes of orange, vanilla and jasmine blossoms. Made with Ceylon and China black teas, Orange Dulce brews up a fragrant and full bodied dark tea. Reminiscent of an aged Port, the flavor is sure to please.

Making my home welcoming with fragrance

How I prefer to make my home warm and welcoming

I love a good smelling home. I have a 2 storey home with a basement. It is on the smaller size but very cute. The size gives it a welcoming feel but a good fragrance when you come in the home adds a warming touch to the home.

I use both wax tarts and home fragrance oils (HFO). I have a few tea light warmers upstairs and in the dining room to give a warm ambiance along with a gentle scent. By the front door which is attached to the living room I have a plate warmer. I tend to put a third, half or quarter of a wax tart in the warmer, depending on the warmer. Once the scent is gone from the tart I then add a few drops of home fragrance oil in the wax. This keeps the oil in the burner from evaporating or burning.

I prefer bakery, clean, citrus and subtle floral scents. Strong florals and sugary sweet scents like brandied apple give me headaches. I love to wake up in the morning to the scent of coconut in the bathroom. I have a tea light warmer in there. After work and on the weekends I use the other tea light warmers and my plate warmer along with scents that compliment each other and the difference areas of the home.

Always remember when using tea light warmers stay close to them so you can keep an eye on them, you wouldn't want your warmer to start a fire and do damage to your home.

I get my tarts from various etsy shops, Yankee Candle and Walmart. I get my HFOs from Bath and Body Works and little boutiques. The flea market always has great candle stalls. You can cut voltives in half and use them in your warmers as well if you don't want to burn them. I find that burning candles don't give me the throw I want.
