If you love Girl Scouts' Thin Mints and Caramel & Coconut treats, Bigelow Tea Co.'s new cookie teas offer a new way to indulge without packing on the pounds.
As part of a licencing agreement, the tea brand was able to authentically recreate the Thin Mints Herbal Tea and Caramel & Coconut Black Tea with flavors that will take anyone back to their childhood. Unlike eating a cookie, the tea blends are totally calorie-free, gluten-free, sugar-free and certified Kosher.
Bigelow's president and CEO Cindi Bigelow used to be a Girl Scout herself and launched these limited-edition tea bags in celebration of Bigelow's 70th anniversary. Considering that there's such a cult following for Girl Scout cookies, curious consumers will definitely want to get their hands on a box.
