Celestial Seasonings Vox Box

I have to start this off by saying before I received* my Celestial Seasonings Vox Box I was not a big tea drinker.  It's become such an addiction though after trying just a couple though! I can't wait to try other flavors!

This is the box and what came in it.

counter clockwise; Card explaining the benefits of green tea, box decorated with green tea sticker, 2 packets with 2 tea bags each, flavors are: Sleepytime decaf green tea and Honey Lemon Ginseng Green Tea, and a coupon for ONE FREE BOX of tea!

I think it was smart to send out the coupon to save space while shipping but also to let me pick out which kind of green tea I wanted.  I ended up getting one free with the coupon and buying another two boxes (see below) but for someone who was only getting one, it's nice to have the choice on which one by getting the coupon.

So I went to the store and I was amazed and almost wanted to get one of each! I did not know there was so many flavors and types of tea! And Celestial Seasonings' packaging is so cute! They are like cartoon characters and so colorful.
So I got two boxes of green tea of the same flavors I sampled from my Vox Box, one was free with the coupon.  Then I picked up the Sleepytime Kids for my daughter.

Ok, now on to the tea!  I personally like the sleepytime better.  The lemon and jasmine compliment it perfectly and I enjoy it so much.  Also, it puts me right to sleep after I finish a cup!  It relaxes me after a long day, and I notice myself start yawning right away.  The other green tea makes me feel healthy while drinking it, which I love, but I would recommend adding sweetener or honey for someone who has a sweet tooth like me!  The sleepytime kids doesn't seem to have the same effects on my daughter that it does on me.  She's only 5 so she's got a lot of energy anyway, she loves the flavor though and she enjoys drinking a cup of tea with her mommy! :)

Lastly, the cherry on top of this Vox Box was this tea bag clip and caddie that was mailed separately.  It is so beautiful, beautifully made, luxurious and definitely helpful for when I make tea at work and don't have a spoon handy to fish out my tea bag.  This picture does not do these pieces justice, they are way more shiny than they appear here.  The attention to detail was great!

Here is a video from my instagram of how I create my cup of tea.  I like to say I do it the lazy way, but it tastes great to me!
1. Put tea bag at the bottom of the cup
2. Pour hot water from my primo water dispenser
3. seep for 2 minutes, (microwave timer)
4. stir a bit
5. take out tea bag
6. enjoy!
*I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.
