A Delicious Holiday Duo
Tea & Pears
Some things just go together, especially for the holidays – hot cocoa and marshmallows… turkey and stuffing…and a fresh new holiday duo, tea and pears.
Pears and tea also offer guests the gift of health benefits — one medium-sized pear has 24 percent of the daily recommended amount of
fiber and is a good source of vitamin C. And made with all-natural herbs, spices and botanicals, tea naturally includes antioxidants.
