Since Hyde’s tea has arrived in the mail I thought: Why not support my favorite Glampire’s new business. On Monday, Hyde did a soft opening on his new tea brand “Bloodthirstea”. The cans come with a dozen tea sachets and can be purchased individually or as the ‘Awaken Collection’ of all three. So far I’m impressed with all three teas’ design and aroma.
Earl Graveyard is a zesty Ceylon tea infused with bergamot and orange peel.
Geisha’s Ghost is an organic Sencha green tea; all-natural cherry flavoring and rose petals.
Hydebiscus is made from organic cut and sifted Hibiscus. It is caffeine-free
I can’t wait to taste all the flavors. Tonight, I probably steep some Geisha’s Ghost first. The green tea with cherry flavoring and rose petals got my attention.

In Autumn 2019, a friend mentioned the name Kringle Candle Company after I was dissatisfied with the throw of a particular Yankee Candle. She said, that since Yankee Candle was sold by the original owner, Michael Kittredge II, the product is not the same anymore. Something is missing, and I call it L.O.V.E. with every pour of a candle. About ten years, after Mike Kittredge II sold Yankee Candle in Deerfield, Massachusetts, his son opened the Kringle Candle Flagship Store in Bernardston. Bernardston is about 10 miles north of Deerfield.
I did purchase a lot of Kringle Candles in Texas and Connecticut. But I always wanted to visit the store as well. And finally, today was the day. Kevin, Katelynn, Sara, and I loved the Christmas display. While the girls were walking around every room in the store, and Kevin was eyeing the peanut butter fudge at the candy corner, I went on a shopping spree. Since an abundance of Autumn and Christmas candles were 50% off, I couldn’t say NO. Kevin’s heart dropped with every candle I sat in the cart. I don’t know why. He didn’t have to pay for it. 😉 Eight candles, some fudge, and several photos later, I went to the register. I believe this upcoming Autumn and Christmas Season, we will be decked out with candles; until the Halloween deal comes around in August.

I’m so excited, my Halloween Kringle Candles have arrived today. In mid-July the Kringle Candle Company had a special for their Halloween Kringle Tumblers. I believe they could be ordered only for several hours before the sale was over. Kringle Candle Co. had different Halloween candles later in the year, but I wanted to get my fingers on those tumbler candles. In July, I got an email from them saying when they have the sale ready for the Kringle tumblers. Me being crazy for Halloween and candles, had to go for that deal. The online store had plenty of selections to choose from. However, I went for four different scents and purchased six candles in total.

Who is this Kringle Candle Company?
The original founder of the Kringle Candle Co. was no other, than Michael Kittredge II himself. He was also the founder of the Yankee Candle Co., which has been in business since 1969. After selling candles nationally and internationally for the past 30 years, Michael Kittredge II sold the Yankee Candle Co. to Forstmann, Little & Co. in 1998. Michael Kittredge II retired from candle making.
In 2008, Michael Kittredge III, the son of the Yankee Candle Co. founder, made his own first candle. And it came naturally to him to make and sell candles himself. In 2009 the Kringle Candle Co. was born and has the flagship store with the candle factory/packing and shipping on an 18,000 sqft. property in Bernardson, Massachusetts. Over 10 years later, the company is still in business, growing its product line and sending the candles all over the United States. Many of the Kringle Candles can be also outside the USA.
Unfortunately, Michael Kittredge died due to cancer in Boston on July 24, 2019. He was 67 years old. May he rest in peace. And we are thankful for the millions of amazing-smelling candles over the past 50+ years.
