Scented tea is an infusion method of petals,fruits, spices or oils into black or green tea. This has been going on since the Ming Dynasty 1368-1644

Sip yourself slim~ As reported in the March 2014 Issue of Family Circle magazine...Dr. Jeffrey Blumberg, a Tufts University professor of nutrition, stated that new research shows green tea may help people lose weight.

He tells readers to aim for two mugs of green tea per day that is *steeped for at least 3 minutes.

the combinations of the zero calories, caffeine and catechins it does speed up the metabolism.

*the longer that green tea seeps the higher content of antioxidants.


While some researchers do say that one would have to consume a lot more to see an actual weight loss from the drinking well it certainly won't hurt either.

<sigh> I do not like the taste of green tea. On these cold miserable wintry days, tea sure has been a comfort.

Dear Angie,

Have you tried to flavor the tea? Enhance with a drop of lemon or perhaps a drop of agave? honey?

I am doing an article on sweetening next week I shall try to include something about enhancing green tea. Perhaps try a blend with green tea in it?


Let me know if you try.
Thank you

Starbucks coffee giant owns Teavana tea and they have partnered with Oprah Winfrey to launch Oprah Chai.

It is a chai masala infused with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and clove. All of the proceeds from sales will benefit youth education charities.

Good job! Buy chai support education that's smart tea!

Dear Angie,

Most large major businesses often "acquire" other businesses to stay way on top of the heap. The Tea industry has long been up and coming, and it appears that many businesses want to have more than "one log on the fire" by aligning themselves with many facets of the drink industry.

Well established business that are acquired often keep their names due to the fact that they are quite known by the name and to change it would actually damage the brand.

Enjoy trying the new Oprah Chai and let us know how you liked it~

What is Guayusa tea? It is pronounced (guy-use-a)
It is from the tree (similar to an evergreen here) called LLex Guayusa. It is native to the rainforest in the upper Amazon.

The leaves of this tree contain a large amount of caffeine; it is prepared as a tea and is used as a stimulant.

I've been very disappointed in the tea selections at some of the supermarkets. At one time, the selection in all the stores was really good but some of them have cut back. I enjoy Luzianne Tea but other than the Ice Tea bags my stores have not been carrying the brand. I switched to Tetley but I do like Red Rose, Bigalow and Twinings. Celestial is the herbal tea which I use during the winter.

Have you ever ordered tea online? I was in one of the malls yesterday and Teavanna has a shop there.
