There are two things that I crave in the fall. Comfort food and tea. The warmth of the oven and the kettle send me swooning. That being said, I'm thrilled to tell you that I am teaming up with Mavea, Art in The Age and Massimo Bruno for delicious Italian Supper Club on October 27th at 7pm at COOK in Philadelphia.
Before I share a few tea tips and serve two thoughtfully selected teas, Chef Massimo will be treating our taste buds to a multi-course meal that will highlight his hometown of Puglia. I had the opportunity to see the menu so that I could appropriately pair the teas with his dessert, and let me just say that the guests are in for an edible adventure.
Mavea generously gave me a pair of tickets to give away on t&p. Want to win? Simply tell me about your favorite fall tea and share your email address in a comment below by Monday (10/24) at 6pm. Be sure to check your email later that night, as I will be sending a happy to note to the lucky winner.
***update: giveaway has ended***
Thanks for Random.org for helping me select the winner. Congrats Amanda!
It may not be just a fall tea, but I always take great comfort in a cup of Earl Grey. The aroma is wonderful.

I'm back to my fall standbys: Earl grey and chamomile. The bergamot oil (and caffeine) give me that little kick to get through days with more dark than light and the chamo really helps soothe me through the busy and stressful fall months. I already miss my cold brews!!!

The 'Balance' tea from Premium Steap is one of my favorites. It's sweet yet invigorating, and the perfect cup of tea on an autumn evening! (http://www.premiumsteap.com/p-99-balance.aspx)

Mmm... I love Tazo Passion tea. It always makes me think of fall.

My favorite fall tea will always be some variety of puerh. It is so rich and complex in flavor and transforms with each steep. I prefer the aged raw puerh because its always comforting; just knowing its more han 10 years old is so nostaligic and whimsical. Nothing beats a steeping of a good puerh.

I have to say Fall always brings on the spiciness of nutmeg, cinnamon and pumpkin and I crave Chai Tea almost every day. I've liked the Tazo Organic Chai Tea, but have been on the lookout for other options that are a little stronger. So delicious and warm, it makes me want to cozy up with a good book and not get anything accomplished!

Anything spice! Orange spice, or cinnamon! Warms you in the fall :)
