Greetings from The Cozy Tea Cart,
It's time to welcome spring and with spring comes new
changes. In February, the Chinese welcomed their new year (also
referred to as their spring festival) and the coming of spring
with a colorful celebration. They ended the year of the pig and
welcomed the year of the Rat. The Chinese enjoy their spring
festival with all their family members returning home. It is a
time for feasting, and honoring ancient traditions.
Other countries that celebrate spring with a similar traditional
holiday festival are Iran, Afghanistan, and Turkey.
In New England, after making it through a record breaking winter
in snowfall amounts, we are all eager to see spring arrive.
When we think of spring, we think of growth, renewal, and
readily await the pleasurable times of spring and summer. And
while we are thinking of growth here, the tea growing regions
around the world are busy with harvesting the first flush of
their tea leaves. How exciting it is to await the first flush!
While we are eagerly awaiting the new tea harvest and the coming
of spring, this is the perfect time to begin making plans for
our own gardens. We may consider growing a new garden, our
perhaps thinning out our existing gardens and sharing cuttings
with friends or local garden clubs.
And with all this talk about growth, you may want to enrich your
mind by participating in educational classes, such as the
up-coming classes offered by
The Cozy Tea Cart, or those by Liz Barbour of
The Creative Feast. Now is the time to engergize yourself
with a healthy cup of one of our fine teas and start your spring
planning! |

TEA FOR YOUR HEALTH NEWS
THE NEW DISEASE-FIGHTING FOODS
I recently read an
article that appeared in the January issue of SHAPE Magazine
regarding "the new disease-fighting foods which focused on
four of the top foods containing green tea extracts." The
article focused on foods that have been blended with the green
tea extract, offering a powerful dose of antixodants. These
foods were nutrition bars, chocolate, soft drinks, and
cookies.
At the Fourth International
Symposium on Tea and Health, scientists revealed studies
promoting the potential health benefits of tea for overall
health maintenance and prevention. (See our January
Newsletter issue) Some of the areas in which tea was found to
aid in health were cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke, and
cholesterol. This is primarily due to the flavonoids that are
naturally occurring compounds found in tea which have
antioxidant properties. These Antioxidants fight off the free
radicals in our bodies. Scientists believe these free
radicals can penetrate the DNA where they can alter the
replication of the cell, leading to the above diseases. In
their studies, the scientists recommended drinking at least
3-4 cups of tea a day to achieve the maximum amount of
antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals found in tea.
One of the foods recommended in
the SHAPE article as a healthy alternative to snacks were the
"Tzu T-Bar's" which contain 75 to 100 mg of catechins (the
flavonoid compounds found in tea which contain the
antioxidants).
The good news is , The Cozy Tea
Cart already knew about this amazing product and has been
offering it to our customers for a year now! You will find
the T- bars, in addition to high quality tea infused chocolate
bars and organic tea-infused BiscoTea cookies all at
The Cozy Tea Cart!
Stop in or order yours today!)
