Coffee Bean And Tea Leaf Gift Packs (review and giveaway)

Coffee is a staple in my home and it's something that also makes a lovely gift for the holidays. If you're stumped on where to buy your perfect coffee {or tea} gift, I've got the place for you to go. {Bookmark this site on your browser!}

The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is more than a website full of delicious drinks and gift-ables. It's also a franchise. My closest location is actually a stand at my local airport which is about an hour away so I haven't been there myself. 

Thankfully, the were kind enough to send some items to review!

Included in my shipment was the Winter Dream Tea Latte Mug Set {$17.95 price tag}, the Cafe' Mocha Gift Set {$17.95 price tag}, and a gift for one of you!

The Winter Dream Tea Latte Mug Set is the perfect gift for the tea lover on your list. Personally, I love me some coffee but at the end of the day, nothing sounds better than a nice cup of tea. So what comes in this gift set?


Winter Dream Tea Tin (20 bags) 
8oz French Deluxe™ Vanilla Powder 
17oz Ceramic Recipe Logo Mug 
Mini Whisk
Here's the neatest part of it all. The directions to make a Tea Latte are printed right on the mug itself. I'm crazy about that because it seems, more often than not, I'm losing the written instructions or ruining them one way or another.

Of course, I have tried this and it's very delicious. Even drinking the tea on its own is yummy.  I'll have to look into the other tea flavors available. I'm in love with Winter Dream but I'd like to find something that's not seasonal.

On to Cafe' Mocha...

While I can honestly say that I'll try any flavor of coffee at least once, a good Cafe' Mocha is at the top of my list of favorites. In the past, I've tried my hand at "do it yourself" mixtures and I was never satisfied with the outcome. I always ended up deciding that it would be best to just run out to the nearby coffee shop and let them make it for me. After trying this, however, I'm feeling a lot more confident and am excited to use up this set so I can order another one in the future. 

Here's what comes in the Cafe' Mocha gift set:

Holiday Blend coffee (8oz)
8oz Special Duetch™ Chocolate Powder
17oz Ceramic Recipe Logo Mug
Mini Whisk

The Holiday Blend coffee is so rich in flavor but yet not overpowering. It's a wonderful way to start the day all on its own. When whisked up with the chocolate powder, the flavor is so wonderful. It's the perfect blend of chocolate and coffee so that you can taste both but not get overwhelmed by either. 

I give The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf two thumbs up. I wish their franchise was closer to me but I'm grateful for the beautiful website they have for me to shop from. With snow coming any day now, this is a much better option as I'm more apt to stay in anyway.
