Let’s Drink to National Hot Tea Month
January is National Hot Tea Month, and what a perfect month it is for celebrating the warmth and comfort of my favorite winter beverage. My honey and I just moved into a new house a few months ago, that, while very charming, is not the newest. It’s sorely in need of new windows and door, so much so that when it’s windy outside, we can feel a breeze inside. Needless to say, it’s turning out to be a rather chilly winter for us, and hot fair-trade tea is one of the things keeping us going. 
Rooibos Earl Grey has become my morning staple, and in the evenings we’ve been enjoying large mugs of Rooibos Chai with lots of non-dairy milk and stevia (it’s caffeine-free, so it doesn’t keep us up all night).
For those of us trying to trim some inches after all that amazing holiday food, tea can be a deliciously sweet treat that’s healthy for you and your waistline. Drink tea for dessert!
Brownies, Cookies and Fudge: Coming Soon to a Mailbox Near You
Monthly Club orders will ship out on Monday, which means they’ll be arriving on doorsteps Wednesday or Thursday. 
As you probably know, each month we offer delectable new selections of fudge, cookie and brownie flavors, and October is no exception. Cookies just don’t get much better than (Wheat-Free) Chocolate Chip Pecan, while elegant Walnut Fudge will be sure to curb your chocolate cravings, and organic coffee and ceylon cinnamon add extra perk to our (Wheat-Free) Mexican Chocolate Brownies. So whether you’re a monthly club member or just ordering one flavor at a time, smile and enjoy!
Interested in other flavors using our organic coffee? Mark your calendars for January, when we’ll feature Java Crunch Fudge, and June, which boasts our (Wheat-Free) Mocha Brownies.
Chocolate + Cinnamon + Coffee = Brownie Heaven
When I was a kid, my favorite treat at our local coffee shop was their delicious Mexican hot chocolate. Although they long ago stopped serving it, I can still remember the deliciously rich combination of chocolate, cinnamon and mysterious other spices. 
Thanks to Allison, I’ve finally found that perfect flavor combination once again in her (Wheat-Free) Mexican Chocolate Brownies available starting next week. Allison uses the most amazing ceylon cinnamon I’ve ever experienced plus premium, organic fair-trade coffee to give these luscious wheat-free brownies an exciting south-of-the-border flair.
Other highlights in October include our divine Walnut Fudge and sensational (Wheat-Free) Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies.
You Don’t Have to Take Our Word For It…
We know our treats are out-of-this-world amazing, but it would be easy for you to think that we’re a little bit biased on that point. So, if you’re looking for some outside opinions, here’s a re-cap of some of the activity in the blogging world over the past couple of weeks. 
Our vegan gift basket was the talk of the staff in VegNews Magazine‘s blog This Just In. In fact, the VegNews editors liked our (Wheat-Free) Chocolate Chip Pecan Cookies so much that they were featured on the VegNews homepage as This Week’s Must-Have. Thanks to everyone at our favorite magazine for all you do to make the veg lifestyle fun, easy and accessible.
Elsewhere, our Butterscotch Pecan Cookies were highlighted as part of the Ultimate College Care Package in the blog Bohemian Vegan, and our friend and guest-blogger Jessica from Bites and Pieces tried her hand at Allison’s “Veganize It!” recipe for Mac ‘n’ Cheese. To see the tantalizing results check out last week’s Monday Yumday post.
Are you making Allison’s recipes or devouring our delectable goodies? We’d love to hear about it. Post your reviews and photos to our Facebook or Twitter pages and share the love!
Flavors Come and Flavors Go…
We’ve had several requests lately from clients wishing to order product that no longer appear on our website. To clarify this confusion I’ll explain. Each month we feature a new monthly flavor of vegan brownies, cookies and fudge. These monthly flavors are shipped automatically to our monthly club members, and available on our website through their month and for some period of time beyond. 
Eventually, however, these flavors will become unavailable, as we fill the bakery schedule with making the next months’ flavors.
You may also notice that included in the monthly flavors rotation are several classic flavors of vegan fudge, cookies and brownies that we do keep available year-round like Walnut Fudge, (Wheat-Free) Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies, and (Wheat-Free) Half Original/Half Pecan Brownies.
So, if you missed a monthly flavor you were excited about, don’t fret. Each new month brings more exciting flavors to our website and your doorstep. October, for example, will be ushering in (Wheat-Free) Mexican Chocolate Brownies. Plus, our monthly flavors stay the same each year, so if you missed it this year, mark your calendar and order it in 2011.
