Tea; it’s more than just a song, “Tea for Two” , or a British tradition, it’s a California staple. For those who seek a tastier and healthier lifestyle, tea is an essential part of the diet. Rich in essential antioxidants and minerals the average cup offers up about half of the caffeine of coffee with twice the verifiable health benefits. Now, thank s to The California Tea House sipping this goodness has gotten better.
California Tea House is a family owned business founded by Texas native Will Bailey and his California girl, attorney Ani Bailey who turned their leafy love into a business. The Baileys are passionate about tea and swear that, once you’ve tasted the difference of fine loose leaf tea; you can never go back to broken-leaf tea bags again” said the Baileys explaining why they only sell loose tea leaves their site, www.californiateahouse.co
m. Soon Angelinos will be able to pick it up boxes of the loose leaves in select area stores.
California Tea House’s well-designed website provides useful information about the differences and similarities between teas, while on it I learned that green and black teas are from the same plant, Camelia Sinensis and contain similar amounts of antioxidants and caffeine. There are also holistic tea recipes to treat sun burn, cuts and other minor mishaps whose discomfort can be relieved by tea poultices.
So follow fellow Americans who have progressed from instant coffee to gourmet brews for their morning fix and upgrade your cup of tea, your taste buds and health will thank you.
