[The Hidden Owl]

Name: Vanilla Chai
Tea Name/Brand: Bigelow
Where can you find this tea?: Target, maybe Walmart?, online
Have you ever tried it?: Yes!
If so, why do you like it?: I love pretty much anything vanilla, so the spices and the vanilla together plus milk and sugar are just really good imo.
Tastes like?: It is made to be sweetened and with milk, so it has a slight sweet, creamy, vanilla flavor with a few spices.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Gracelia: she is the bomb! She helped me buy my first dreamie when I was new to the forums and has been a great friend ever since!

[Arabelle]

Name: Blueberry Slim Life Green Tea
Tea Name/Brand: Yogi
Where can you find this tea?: Amazon, or local health food stores.. sometimes reg. grocery stores (like Safeway) have them too.
Have you ever tried it?: Yes
If so, why do you like it?: I love green tea with fruit flavors in general. I drink it often c: it's good either hot or even iced. Also love the fact that it's all organic and good for you <3
Tastes like?: Green tea with hint of blueberry flavor
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Minni. She helped me out a lot when I was looking for last bits of hybrid flowers I needed to finish landscaping my town.

[Skyfall]

Name: Skyfall
Tea Name/Brand: Rooibos Tea! Rooibos is the general name (like Earl Grey), but the brand I like is Davidson's.
Where can you find this tea?: I get it from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Davidsons-Tea...e=UTF8&qid=1438639968&sr=8-2&keywords=rooibos), but really, any tea shop or even upscale super market should have some rooibos
Have you ever tried it?: Yes!
If so, why do you like it?: Rooibos is suppose to help with digestion. If I ate something spicy or over indulged, I find that it helps with that feeling of indigestion. I also like "straight-up" teas a lot (no milk, suger necessary type), and this fits the bill.
Tastes like?: It's a red tea, so the first time, you can be put off by it, but it's very subtle tea, not strong. It's slightly "herb-y", like green tea, but it' won't have an obvious correlation to another taste like licorce or anything like that. It's just really good! (I should add, it's caffeine free, so it's also one of those you can drink at night without worrying about staying up all night or getting jittery.)
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Misti - she's been super supportive, and just a good listener. She's sweet and wonderful, just an all around good friend and nice person.
Entering?: Yes please!

Thanks for doing this sweet giveaway, it's a great idea! I'm going to read through other entries too.

(EDIT: Just wanted to add that I think it's HILARIOUS that my buddy Misti also likes rooibos... and the same brand too! Great minds think alike, lol. Now you've totally have to try it!)

 

[Millie_]

Name: Millie_
Tea Name/Brand: Starbucks Peach Tranquility
Where can you find this tea?: Starbucks
Have you ever tried it?: yes
If so, why do you like it?: I love this tea because of the peach/citrus flavor.
Tastes like?: A peach tea, with a bit of citrus into it, which tastes really good.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Karminny, she has helped me obtain most of my dreamies, and when I first started ACNL, she taught me the basics.
Entering?: Y/N yup

 

[pengutango]

Name: pengutango
Tea Name/Brand: Peach Oolong / Tigerlily Peach Company
Where can you find this tea?: They do have a retail store, but since you're not in the area, they also have a website. From what I noticed though, I don't see that particular tea there. D:
Have you ever tried it?: Yep
If so, why do you like it?: I love oolong tea and peach, so why not combine the two? XD Also, it's great cold.
Tastes like?: has a hint of peach flavor, which you can smell way more than you can taste, in my personal opinion.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: I've met a lot of lovely people on TBT, but one of my closest friends on here has to be Gracelia. They've always been a great friend to me and have helped me get a few collectibles, as well as art.
Entering?: Y

[yunnybunny]

Name: yunnybunny
Tea Name/Brand: Boulder Blues/The Tea Spot
Where can you find this tea?: theteaspot.com
Have you ever tried it?: Yes (I tried it from a free sample and I'm hooked. Unfortunately the free sample offer is no longer available so I'm planning on purchasing some)
If so, why do you like it?: Normally I just drink this Chinese green tea that my mom had purchased from China, so the blend of different flavors was a good change of pace that I'm glad I tried. It's different from most green teas I've had which isn't saying much since I haven't had many, but this is one of the few flavored green teas that I really enjoyed and can differentiate from the rest.
Tastes like?: It tastes like a sweetened green tea (probably because of rhubarb) with a hint of berry. It has a really nice fragrance also.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Yay Sweets because they gave me one of my dreamies, Lopez, completely free of charge and I really appreciated that (especially since an offer had fallen through with Lopez just a few hours prior)
Entering?: Yes

Name: Misspiggy95
Tea Name/Brand: Blueberry Bliss and Pineapple Kona Pop (If you have ever been to this shop, they have a ton of loose leaf teas, I bought a mixture of these two, and fell in love)
Where can you find this tea?: Teavana
Have you ever tried it?: I own it!
If so, why do you like it?: Its very fresh tasting! My favorite thing to do with it: Put some in a huge glass jar (I'm talking large) and let it out in the sun all day, then strain the tea leaves out and put it in a pitcher in the fridge. BAM Fresh Ice tea! I actually made some today!
Tastes like?: Heaven. But tastes fruity, little sweet
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Wow, there are so many it is hard to narrow it down to one.
There was one forumer, I forget their name, but a long time ago when I was first starting out my town, I was trying to bbuy some flowers, and they came to my town and just filled my beach with gorgeous hybrids.
I was so happy for the rest of the day. Things like that is what makes me want to pass on the pleasure and joy they gave me!
Entering?: Yes!

 

[ZetaFunction]

Name: Lucanosa
Tea Name/Brand: Chai Spice Black Tea / Stash Tea
Where can you find this tea?: www . stashtea . com (it's in some health-food stores and also some smaller food stores too; if you can't find it in a store you can order it online)
Have you ever tried it?: Not yet, but I plan on soon though...
If so, why do you like it?: I haven't tried it, but I've tried many of the other Stash teas, and they're all great! I know a few people who drink this one who love it though!
Tastes like?: I've not tried it, but I can tell you what it smells like. (close enough I guess) As soon as you steep it, it fills the kitchen with the overwhelming scent of the holidays! Cinnamon, so much cinnamon. It's cinnamon overload!!! I've heard it tastes like a lightly spiced black tea though, which I don't believe knowing it smells so good!
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: Honestly, I can't name just one person. There's been so many kind and caring people I've had the honor to meet and trade with, and I wouldn't trade the experiences I've had here for the world! Before I came here, Animal Crossing was just a simple game about decorating and collecting. But now, TBF taught me that it's also about sharing, helping, and giving! It's changed the way I play games like it, and I cannot wait until the next big AC release, so I can help more people with their virtual oasis c:

[AmaiiTenshii]

Name: Shiloh
Tea Name/Brand: Peach/Celestial Seasonings
Where can you find this tea?: I live in Canada but I know for a fact they have it in America too. Maybe something like costco or target??
Have you ever tried it?: Yep. I've ran out atm, though.
If so, why do you like it?: I like all things peach (seriously, my acnl town is covered in peach trees) and it's not too strong or too weak. It tastes really good with cream and sugar or even by itself.
Tastes like?: Peaches. Obviously. But the peachiness varies on if you put other things in it. It'll be a little less strong if you put cream or milk in it, but it still definitely tastes like peaches regardless and it's not too sweet and not too bitter.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: KatieGurl1223, she was super nice when pming me, didnt scam me for rare items when I ordered things from her, and generally was really kind and helpful and all that.

[Hettie]

[size=-2]

Name: Hettie
Tea Name/Brand: Vanilla Spice Yogi tea
Where can you find this tea?: Pretty much any supermarket
Have you ever tried it?: Yes!!
If so, why do you like it?: I absolutely ADORE Yogi brand tea for a number of reasons. Not only are their mixes potent enough that you can taste the herbs/spices, but their company is all about making sure their product is good for you. Wether you're trying to wind down after a long and stressful day, or perk up after a rough night's sleep, they have a tea for you. Plus, each little bag comes with a small inspiring message attached, which I've always found very beneficial if I'm in kind of a funk. Sometimes you just need to be told by a tea bag that "this too shall pass" and feel a weight lift off your shoulders.
Tastes like?: A gentle mixture of sweet and citrus; It smells as great as it tastes. I add a tiny bit of lemon to mine to give it an extra zing.
Name 1 person who has helped you on the forum & how they helped you?: There are so many wonderful and helpful people here, I'm almost positive I can't name them all. But I would like to mention Miharu for just being very sweet. She's a very talented cosplayer and from what I've seen around the forums has been a great friend to every one.
Entering?: Yes

Other reccomendations: Honey Lavender stress relief by Yogi
Peppermint tea by Bigelow
Make your own lavender mint tea
White Rose tea by Numi


Just as an aside, I wanted to say thanks for hosting this. It's very generous of you! Plus, I LOVE tea and coffee. I think with tea it's almost like an art form; Finding the right ingrediants to use, preparing and then enjoying the fruit's of your labor..It's a nice, relaxing hobby in my opinion. Herbalism and botany go hand and hand with it, and if it's something you're interested in definitely check it out! I'm also pretty partial to flowering teas. [/size]
