January is National Hot Tea Month!

January is National Hot Tea Month!

Don't you think January is the perfect month to be labeled..."National Hot Tea Month?!" Today, here in Iowa, with the temperature at -10 below and a wind chill of -26 below...we happen to think so!! Days like these we often ponder...."Why did are relatives settle in Iowa?!" We must confess, having lived in Sunny Southern California during the 1990's...we are totally ruined when it comes to Iowa winters. But on the upside we can snuggle up next to a warm fire with a good book and a cup of tea without breaking a sweat! (smile).

Here's some good health news relating to tea: According to study on tea from Brigham & Women's Hospital and Harvard they found that "theanine," a natural substance found in tea, actually supports the immune system; according to their human clinical trial, drinking 5 cups of black tea a day for two to four weeks actually boosted the body's immune defense system by four times. In addition to boosting your immune system, tea is actually a great relaxing warm beverage that soothes the throat and warms the body especially on these cold chilly days. Toast 2010 with a great cup of tea for health and happiness, there are so many delicious flavors available we are sure you will find one to please your palette!
