My family have been enjoying your Blackberry & Orange tea from Woolworths and I have to tell you its magnificent. NEVER stop stocking it at Woolworths where I shop.

Well, I am afraid Janice we dont have a lot of say about that - but I can tell you that if you keep buying it and also tell your friends about it - I am sure it will stay there.

Why doesn’t everybody know about your tea?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

We have been looking for a tea like yours for sooo… long. We used to drink similar teas in Europe and loved them and just have not been able to find anything like it in supermarkets in Australia.

You really should do some advertising as had I known about them sooner I surely would have been drinking them long ago. Anyway, your tea is absolutely delicious, just wanted to let you know.

We received a lovely letter from a lady in the United States today. She had been here in Australia on holiday and bought some of our Strawberry Fruit Tea from Woolworths. She wrote to say she thinks it is the “best Strawberry Tea in the World”.

Toast the Chinese New Year with a healthy cup of Australian Fruit Tea

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

LANTERNS and dragons may spring to mind when you think of Chinese New Year, but a cup of tea is also high on the celebration agenda.

Because the Chinese mostly drink their tea without milk Australian Fruit Tea is a perfect choice - Finest Black Leaf Tea (grown without the use of herbicides and pesticides) with a hint of fruit - flavoured with the essential oils from the skin of the fruit and real fruit pieces.

“A nice cup of tea is not only good for us, but makes us feel good and now we can mark the Chinese year of the rat with a new healthy habit.”

Tea and Chinese New Year

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

In some regions, the first thing to be drunk at New Year is a cup of tea with lotus seeds, tea with sweet jujube served with watermelon seeds and sticky rice flour cakes. As you take a sip, you must say “tiantian mimi,” meaning “life will be happy,” and as you eat the cakes “bubu denggao,” meaning “you will be promoted to a high position.” Lotus seeds are also offered to married couples with the words “zaosheng guizi,” or “you will soon give birth to a boy.” The same day, filled sticky rice balls (tangyuan) are eaten for “tuantuan yuanyuan” so that all family members will be reunited and live in harmony.

Tea and Sex

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

Last month, Oprah Winfrey (of whom I am a huge fan) welcomed onto her show Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen. These two doctors were discussing something very near and dear to my heart, tea. Specifically, they were talking about the best things you can do and foods you can eat/drink to help fight aging.

Included on the list was antioxidant-rich items such as blueberries, broccoli, acai, and (of course) tea. In fact, they said that drinking 3-4 cups a day was one of the best ways to keep you looking younger and living longer.

One fact that they left out, which I feel is very important to know, is that this does not include milk. So many people are used to drinking their tea with milk (I cringe at the thought of ruining my beautiful cuppa by drowning it with 2%), it is important to mention that adding any milk will block the body from absorbing virtually all of the antioxidants.

But what exactly are antioxidants? Why are they so good for anti-aging? To explain, Dr. Oz compared apples to apples”one half of an apple was sprinkled with lemon juice and the other was not. While the lemony half remained new and crisp-looking, the untreated half became brown and shriveled because of exposure to oxygen (not surprisingly a process known as oxidation). The same thing happens to our skin, to our heart, to our eyes, Dr. Oz said. All of our bodies need to have the antioxidants.

The team then goes on to say that one can further increase the anti-aging benefits by coupling it with a reasonable exercise regimen, which (embarrassingly enough to Oprah) includes having sex at least 2 or 3 times a week. While I energetically agree with this, I must stress that I do not recommend drinking your tea at the same time.
