Tea Brews

Summer is already ending and it’s time to go back to school. While it does bring mixed feelings to most children, it does so too for the parents as well — what with them feeling happy, anxious or scared about their child going back to school. Nobody is really happy about sending their children back to school, as it means no more spending quality time with them. If you want to have some fun-filled, one-on-one moments with your son or daughter, then how about doing this over a refreshing cup of tea?

We know tea is not a popular trend with the young people but it is never too late to start this trend with your kids. A back to school tea party is a perfect idea to help your kids, as well as yourself, relax and unwind after the hectic first week of being back at school. Your child will appreciate the whole experience with you. You can even start this as a family tradition to celebrate new beginnings.

Whether you are throwing a big back to school party or just a small gathering, a tea party can be a great alternative. First of all this is something unique that can be shared between you and your child. You can try out different herbal tea varieties and thus spread awareness and knowledge about tea amongst your kids. And as unconventional or boring as that may sound to you, you will definitely be surprised at how much interest your kids show in the subject. Here are a few fun tea ideas you can use for your back to school get together:

Fancy Iced Tea — After a long tiring day, a fresh cup of iced tea can be the best way to quench the thirst. Some of the most popular tea varieties that you can have iced are Petal Pedal, Kauai Cocktail Fruit Blend, Garden of Eden and Tropical Green Tea Pineapple. These organic tea varieties are fun to make and taste. It is so easy to make and their premium taste can compliment any food you take.
Hot Tea — If you prefer hot tea, then be prepared for a cup that can soothe your body and mind. There are lots of tea types you can experiment with. But if you are looking out for the popular ones, you have lots of choices as well. It will be a great experience to just sit back and relax with a cup of tea and some delicious freshly baked homemade cake and cookies.
If you are experimenting with your tea, then try out the Jasmine Pearls, Banana Dulce, Starry Night, Green Pomegranate and Jasmine Blueberry. These tea types can appeal to anyone — from kids to tea beginners to tea connoisseurs.

So, plan out your back to school tea party and share some lovely moments with your child. It’s fun and its a great way to help your child kick start his or her first season of school!
