Celebrate the Moment With Teekanne

Teekanne Herbal Wellness Tea has kicked off this year’s version of its My Teekanne Moment contest, which asks fans of the brand to describe how its teas inspire them.

All entrants need to do is put their feelings into 200 words or under, and submit the essay, along with a photo illustrating the moment, by March 31, 2011. An online entry form and contest details and guidelines are available at www.favoritetea.com.

All entries will be reviewed and evaluated by a panel of judges, among them brand ambassador and tennis legend Steffi Graf. Three entrants (one in each of the following product categories: Energizing, Relaxing and Soothing) will be chosen as the grand-prize winners. Each of the three grand-prize winners will get a $5,000 American Express gift card to use as they like, an autographed picture of Graf, and 50 Teekanne tea coupons each good for a free box of Herbal Wellness Tea to share with family and friends.

There will also be six runner-up prizes of a Teekanne tea chest containing an assortment of Herbal Wellness Tea, an autographed picture of Graf, and 25 Teekanne tea coupons each good for a Free box of tea. Contest updates will appear on the Teekanne Tea Facebook page at www.facebook.com/teekanneUS.

“The My Teekanne Moment contest reinforces Teekanne’s commitment to embracing the special bond that herbal tea drinkers have with Teekanne,” explained Shauna Collins, senior brand manager at Windsor, Conn.-based Teekanne North America “The moment is not the same for every Teekanne drinker, and that’s what makes them so special and unique. And this contest is the perfect chance for anyone wanting to share those moments, and in the process have a chance to win some very cool prizes.”

Teekanne Herbal Wellness Teas are manufactured and marketed by the family-owned Teekanne Group, which is based in Germany.
