Greetings to The Cozy Tea Cart newsletter members,

 

 While Autumn is here, we experience frosty nights, sunny days and leaves changing color.  We are harvesting the remaining foods from our gardens, or enjoying the abundant harvest from our local farm stands.  The farmers and their laborers work long hard days of gathering the fruits and vegetables in the fields, rushing each day to make the most of the days yield to beat Mother Nature to the first frost.  As with local farming, the tea farmers work long days picking the perfect tea leaves, beginning in early spring, through the sweltering hot summer weather, and into the cool fall harvest.    So as we settle into our new fall schedules, preparing harvest foods and sipping the perfect cup of tea, why not take a moment to reflect on the efforts of the farmers and laborers who brought these foods to our table.

 

NEW in our shoppe Beginning Thursday, Nov. 2, The Cozy Tea Cart will be hosting “Tea and Cookies with the Author” night.  This event will run regularly on the first Thursday of each month from 6:00pm – 7:30pm. Join us at the tea shoppe each month as we sip tea by the fireplace, nibble on fresh baked cookies and welcome the company of one of our many local authors.

Drinking Tea Healthier Than Drinking Water

Mary K. Brunskill – All Headline News Staff Writer

London, England (AHN) - Drinking tea may have more health benefits than drinking water, according to researchers. British nutritionists found that both tea and water dehydrate, but tea contains flavonoids that provide additional health benefits. The researchers say three or more cups or tea a day can prevent heart disease and some forms of cancer, strengthen bones and prevent dental decay.
