TEA


"I would rather have a cup of tea than sex."
-Boy George



Tea can do that.
Lipton. We can do that.
100% Natural and 100% Real Tea.
Lipton's gets into more hot water than anything.






BLACK TEA

It's the caffeine high that we all crave and Americans would die for. A quick cup of breakfast blend will set you off for the day. The name black is termed for the black fermented leaves, but the appearance is red. Although green tea may seem popular because it is "up and coming", black tea is by far the most sold tea type in the West and has been the traditional tea drank by Westerners.






GREEN TEA
Green tea is "in". Recent studies are pushing for more drinking of green tea because of all the additional health benefits that are provided. This tea has the highest number of antioxidants because the leaves are unfermented. And also it can have the touch of caffeine that everyone loves to get their day started.




OOOOOoolong Tea
How long does it take to ship tea from China by slow boat?
Oolong Time!
-Mensch Freborg 
Oolong tea is a happy medium between black tea and green tea. The tea leaf is fermented about half as much as black tea leaves. So you receive a taste of tea that is not too strong or not too "leafy". There are many different ways that oolong tea can be prepared to best fit a preference. And of course, the best part is the caffeine! 




Herbal Teas
Herbal teas are their own kind, as they do not come from the camellia senesis plant. Herbal teas have been around for an extremely long time. The possibilities are limitless of what flavor you would like and also is the flavor come from a flower, seed, root, leaf, etc. Herbal teas are popular because they do not have caffeine. They are widely used for their medicinal powers and herbal healing. 






Tea Party Time
Not only does tea taste great, but it has always been used as a reason to socialize. Its also a great event for kids to celebrate with friends and family.



One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 1 and a half years old and had just recovered from an accident in which my arm had been broken among other injuries. Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys.


Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water. After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home. 
My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up, then says, 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet??'


Tea Party Time is a great time.
