Contest!! Win a Mighty Leaf Gift Set!! (closed)

December 5, 2011

After sitting on a freezing plane for hours on end, nothing warms you up like a steaming cup of tea. Tea’s comforting properties increase exponentially when it’s cold and blustery outside. My favorite brand of tea is Mighty Leaf, and as I’ve mentioned, I keep bags of Vanilla Bean and Chamomile Citrus with me at all times with I travel. Mighty Leaf was so happy to be included as part of my Top Five Travel Necessities (Hotel Edition) that they contacted me to do a contest for my readers! What a great company.

The gift set is valued at $50, and includes:

They sent me a set as well, so I can vouch for its awesomeness. I have been using the TeaTop Brew Mug, and it is super cool. Watch for a full review later this week!

To enter the contest, write a comment answering the following: What is your favorite travel beverage and why? We will draw a winner at random on Monday December 12. Open to US residents only (sorry international readers!!). As always, only one entry per person.

Check out MightyLeaf on Twitter @MightyLeaf  or on Facebook!

Thanks for playing everyone. Good luck!

    Chai – easy on the caffeine, delicious and reminds me of far off places.

  2. Alexa said,

    I love peppermint Tea!It relaxes me instantly especially if I have to work on a powerpoint on the plane or rush to make a connection! Chamomile is also great as a quick sip before bedtime in strange hotel..

  3. Debbie said,

    Water followed by a warm chai latte or a spicy cinnamon tea.

  4. Meghan said,

    Bottle of water. I get so dehydrated when I travel.

  5. Felicia said,

    I am a fan of hot chocolate… kid at heart forever. If I’m at a restaurant and they offer whipped cream on top, I never resist :)

  6. JB said,

    Black coffee or green tea before 10am, and water after any time after that. As Meghan mentioned above, dehydration is an issue.

  7. Lindsay said,

    I always go for a bottle of water – I always get thirsty when I travel!

  8. Con said,

    I love the Might Leaf Green Tea Sampler! It is the best!

  9. Susan said,

    We always take our Klean Kanteens and fill them once we get past security. I have two of the smaller size bottle for my kids – the 3 yo uses a sport cap and the 1 yo has a sippy adapter on his. Perfect!

  10. Elle said,

    Before 5: a good hot cup of coffee. Decaf if it’s on the later side, but I am generally so tired when I travel that it doesn’t matter what time it is. I love the smell, I love the taste. What more reason is there?

    After 5: a good glass of wine. It’s a nice way to end a day of travel. I do NOT drink wine on planes or during transit, though. Even one glass and I have felt that I didn’t have my wits completely about me, and one needs every last bit of brain cell firing while traveling these days.

  11. Julia said,

    Water and sometimes simple black or green tea

  12. Joel said,

    Plain water.

  13. Rose said,

    Hot water with lemon – flush the system, keep you hydrated!

  14. BV said,

    Coffee or tea – caffeine is usually a necessity while traveling.

  15. Sophia said,

    Water! I’m a big water drinker in general, but I need even more when I’m flying a lot to keep me feeling healthy.

  16. Jimgotkp said,

    Bottled water… have to stayed hydrated at all times.

  17. Lisa said,

    I usually just drink water, but if I’m hungry and flight’s too short for them to sell food, I order tomato juice and convince myself it’s a vegetable!

  18. Vivek said,

    I love having a glass of red wine to calm my nerves and just relax. However, I have to drink quite a bit of water to ensure I stayed hydrated.

  19. Latonya R said,

    My favorite travel beverage is v8 juice!

  20. Anne said,

    Bottle of water, to stay hydrated on the plane.

    If it’s a morning flight, I’ll go for a chai latte with a shot of espresso to wake up.

  21. mckristie said,

    I dislike most waters, so I always have a kleen kanteen and a couple of different beverages – teccino (sp??), green chai, sleepy time teas, lavendar chamomile, and some various green superfoods powder, and other “flavoured” green teas. Wow that is a ton – I am sitting here sipping some green chai:)

  22. Nathan G said,

    My favorite in-air beverage is always Ginger Ale, probably because I only ever drink in on a plane (though I miss days of Vernor’s vs Canada Dry…)

  23. Beth said,

    Ginger Ale! Not the healthiest option, but it always makes my day to have that first sip of it on the plane.

  24. Denise said,

    I drink lots of water….and a little red wine. But I may have to check out the Mighty Leaf tea!

  25. mm said,

    I usually pack kool-aid, capri-sun packages, its so convient and easy to hold while driving etc.

  26. tiffany said,

    tea warms you up and offers and the endless variety of options keeps things interesting!

  27. Glen said,

    Favorite travel beverage? A good, cold beer at the airport! It’s my signal that I’m on vacation! :)

  28. Mike said,

    All i need is water with fresh lemon. :)

  29. Maolin said,

    My beverage of choice when I’m on the road is a fruity smoothie. I never have them whilst home on the weekend. Smoothies are tasty, healthier and more filling & substantial than a typical drink. My appetite is wonky on travel days and the smoothie never rebels against my tummy. Refreshing & light in the warmer months especially. Nom!!!

  30. Tracy said,

    I love a nice cup of chamomile tea and a hot shower.

  31. Sally Watkins said,

    Any airplane that I’m on, I order ginger ale. Do I drink ginger ale any other time? Never!

  32. CC said,

    Green tea. Iced during the day, warm in the evening.

  33. Peter said,

    Ginger Ale

  34. GREG Z said,

    coffee stay awake

  35. AnnaG said,

    Definitely water but it’s gotta be good quality. I always bring a water bottle to fill at the drinking fountain but than regret it as it seems like I’m drinking recycled pool water. Second to that is definitely iced green tea!

  36. Max H. said,

    A cold Coke! You can get it everywhere – literally the sweetest refresher! ;)

  37. Jason said,

    Cranberry juice. I just always get it and it reminds me of traveling. Habit I guess

  38. YK said,

    Hot tea (with chocolate :-) anytime!

  39. Don G said,

    I like Diet Pepsi for the Caffeine, but it seems like most airlines only have Coke products. Because of that, I usually go with Sprite or hot tea with milk and sugar.

  40. Lisa said,

    My drink of choice is water!

  41. Stephanie said,

    Hands down water.I carry my Brita filter bottle everywhere and keep it filled all the time.

  42. Mariah said,

    A stewardess introduced me to a real treat a few years ago. It is ginger ale and orange juice. Tastes like a mimosa with a ginger zing and no alcohol to dehydrate you.

  43. Todd R said,

    Ginger ale for some strange reason. I never drink it except when flying. What’s up with that?

  44. JT said,

    I love tea as well! Mighty Leaf and Tazo Chai are my favorites.

  45. RestlessLocationSyndrome said,

    Water for how dehydrated I get from flying so much.

  46. Lois said,

    Iced Tea! I can’t go too long without it and have been so pleased that it has become much easier to find in Europe lately. Can’t get it on many airlines though, unfortunately.

  47. B said,

    Roobios Chai

  48. Mary said,

    I always pack a reusable water bottle & tea bags for a trip!

  49. SAJohnstone said,

    Coffee in the AM, English breakfast tea rest of the day. And lots of water, especially on planes.

  50. Krista said,

    Orange tea is my fave, in my own cup!

  51. Helen said,

    My favorite travel beverage is unsweetened iced tea. It’s healthy and hydrating. A flight attendant taught me I can order hot tea with ice to make my own unsweetened iced tea.

  52. Stephanie said,

    I usually drink water, but lately, I’ve been opting for hot tea.

  53. dwh said,

    If I’m upgraded on a plane (or have certificates) and don’t have to be 100% sober when I land, I’ll enjoy a whiskey on the rocks. Water all other times with hot tea when it’s cold outside.

  54. SF said,

    Plenty of Water, coffee or tea in the morning

  55. Denise said,

    I drink lots of ‘calming’ type teas…I have so many that naming them would take a while…

    travelling every week for most of this year is stressful, so I try to do things that counteract that.

  56. Coree said,

    Ginger tea for me, helps with any traveling jitters, keeps me warm, and no caffeine so I am not antsy on the plane.

  57. James H said,

    Just plain old cold water for me.

  58. Alex said,

    Most important drink – water. Favorite drink – americano, especially a good one from an illy cafe (Starbucks is my default if I don’t see a nice cafe). My husband prefers Jack Daniels :)

  59. Jean said,

    Water and iced green tea. I like Tazo Zen but will have to try Mighty leaf green tea.

  60. Julie said,

    Flavored coffee – I don’t drink it often so when I do it seems so indulgent and when I’m traveling it can help me destress a bit.

  61. Wei said,

    Bottle water. Convenient, easy to carry.

  62. aitchly said,

    caffeine and plenty of water

  63. Kyle said,

    Coke – keeps me going.

  64. Charlotte said,

    Iced Tea

  65. Corey said,

    green tea for long travel, bit of caffeine and antioxidants keep you going

  66. Mike said,

    ginger ale when I need to wake up, hot green tea when I would like to fall asleep

  67. Dave said,

    Mint green tea

  68. Michele said,

    Water in my own reusable water bottle- limitless free refills at airport water fountains!! No worries if I spill a bit in transit and it’s important to stay hydrated for a gazillion different reasons. :)

  69. jennifer said,

    Water, to keep hydrated. So important when traveling, especially by air.

  70. rebecca said,

    I love having tea when I travel because I prefer caffeine free and doesn’t give bad breath like coffee, and I can use without sugar if I prefer.

  71. Chris vH said,

    Orange Pekoe is how I wake up on my commute!

  72. Erica Klein said,

    Club soda with lime – feels special, hydrates, refreshes.

  73. TheBeerHunter said,

    Licorice tea! It’s so soothing and wonderful.

  74. WeatherGuy said,

    Camomile or mint tea (esp. chocolate mint truffle) , good for digestion and calming.
