Interestingly in the cultivation of high altitude Kenya tea - pesticides are not used in propagation because pests that can ruin tea bushes cannot survive at these altitudes (gets too cold at night). This Kenya green tea is virtually organic by default!

Over the next few hundred years, wave after wave of Western arrivals, Danes, French and British fell under the intoxicating spell of spicy cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, cloves and black pepper. The problem was of course that trade of the spices came with a hefty price in the form of costly wars with India's indigenous kingdoms. Subsequently, what spice made it back to Europe fetched exorbitant prices and came to be available only to the exceptionally wealthy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs any modern day visitor to India will tell you, Malabar Spice is a little easier to come by these days. How so? The heady blend has evolved to become the signature flavor of spiced chai, added to the mix of India's ubiquitous drink along with hot whole milk and strong tea. Today, the drink is available on virtually every street corner, train platform and bus stop. And while no warfare is required to make your purchase, a little haggling never hurts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe've decided to do our part to further propagate the sultry flavors of Southern India by developing what we believe to be one of the greatest chai blends ever created - decaffeinated Hi^Antiox Green Chai. What makes it so great? Well, in addition to the outstanding m̩lange of grassy green tea and peppery spice, the leaf we've sourced has an exceptional antioxidant count owing to its high altitude cultivation.

According to sleep researchers, there are two peak times a day when these rhythms kick in, 3 am to 5 am and 3 pm to 5 pm.

There are many who opt for a chemically assisted solution, i.e. popping a sleeping pill and drifting off to sleep once the plane has reached cruising altitude. Certainly this would ensure you get to your destination rested, but sleeping pills come with their own set of potential complications. Since our business necessitates almost continual travel to the world's distant quarters, we've developed a number of methods for combating jet lag to the best of our abilities. One of these has always been to pack a blend of rooibos and camomile for the journey. We like to bring a couple of tea sacs in our carry-on and infuse a cup once airborne.

Spearmint's cool, invigorating flavor keeps the mind bright. Mate, the national drink of Argentina opens the eyes thanks to its mateine content, by some counts a softer version of caffeine.

On one trip to visit with an Indian supplier, our Master Blender set off from our Canadian office in Toronto, flew 8 hours to Zurich, another hour to Rome, then 15 hours to Colombo, Sri Lanka where he spent 2 hours laid over, flew to Chennai, India, spent a further 8 hours laid over, where he discovered that his luggage hadn't arrived and finally hopping a flight to Calcutta. All told, from the time he left the office until he reached the guesthouse where he would be staying, 42 hours had elapsed! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuffice it to say that on a trip like that, the hours, days, customs clearings, airports, meals taken at odd times, countries, languages and time zones blend into a jet-lag so thick it feels like walking you're walking through soup. In a word, it's bonkers. What does it feel like? If asked, you might well have heard our Master Bender say something along the lines of, \"I feel like I've been hit by a bus!\" Or, \"I feel like I've been shot out of a cannon.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, since these trips are business trips, not vacations, when Metropolitan personnel arrive overseas they have to gather themselves quickly and conduct business. So, in addition to learning a thing or two about jet lag, we've also learned a few ways to combat the affliction. In addition to staying hydrated, exercising and eating well, we've found that a nice cup of tea can help out nicely. To that end we're pleased to offer some of our Master Blender's secret Jet Lag tea recipes.

For some it's a walk in the woods, taking the air while birds call from the trees. For others serenity is found within - a calming of the spirit. Throughout human history many have tried to capture the feeling of serenity and what it means to us as individuals. The ancient Greeks developed the concept of ataraxia, the absence of cares and freedom from worry. From Buddhism we get Passaddhi, serenity of the body, speech and thoughts on the path to enlightenment. More recently, Romantic poet William Wordsworth, (7 April 1770 -23 April 1850) wrote that \"poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in serenity\". We couldn't have said it any better ourselves. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, as modern people in our busy world, finding peaceful moments in which to reflect on life and wax poetic may be a little hard to find. There are meetings to go to, sales figures to hit and clients to impress -who has time for enlightenment? Thankfully, we've put together this sumptuous blend of calming herbs and spices to help you slow down, get grounded and enjoy the stillness of time and place for a few moments.

Rumor has it that not a day passed that he didn't enjoy a piping hot cup or two of the fragrant brew to help him relax and promote longevity. While Mao is probably the most famous known proponent of chrysanthemum tea, Chinese history with the flower, known as \u003cem\u003eJu Hua\u003c\/em\u003e, goes back a lot further than the \u003cem\u003eGreat Helmsman\u003c\/em\u003e, as he is sometimes known.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChinese association with the flower starts as far back as the Han Dynasty, (206-220 BC). In those days, many believed that plants and flowers possessed mystical powers of healing. Chrysanthemums in particular were believed to offer eternal life. An ancient Han legend from Henan Province tells the story of some villagers who discovered a stream full of chrysanthemum petals. Tired after their long hike, the villagers drank deeply from the stream, and it is said, lived to be 130 years old.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether or not the tale can be believed, Chrysanthemums came to be acknowledged as one of China's \u003cem\u003ehonorable plants\u003c\/em\u003e. (The others are plum trees, orchids and bamboo.) In addition to Chrysanthemum tea‰۪s purported use as a relaxant, traditional Chinese health practitioners maintain that the flower also helps detoxify the blood, aids in sinus congestion, lowers high blood pressure, sharpens vision and clears the mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make our Chrysanthemum Relax tea coins, artisans select top quality Chrysanthemum blooms, which are added to an organic seasonal green tea. The flowers and tea are steamed, pressed into forms, compressed and fired. As the name would suggest, this is one relaxing brew - the cup is slightly grassy with lush notes of flowers and honey. An ancient philosopher once wrote that the reason watching a flowing brook can engender such feelings of relaxation is because a brook knows exactly what it is meant to do. With this in mind we suggest brewing this tea in a glass pot so you can watch the tea and flowers unfurl and do exactly what they were put on this earth to do. Then, sit back and take it easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Any claims made above have not been scientifically substantiated.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Organic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zhejiang Province\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Formed Tea\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500 - 2500 ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional Handmade\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury organic green tea, Organic natural dried chrysanthemum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePut your feet up, sit back and chill.

The ancient Greeks, known for eating large heavy meals of mutton, discovered that eating pieces of ginger wrapped in bread helped the body digest. (Interestingly, this is the origin of gingerbread cookies.) Farther East, in ancient China, seafaring merchants and naval personnel customarily chewed ginger to ward of seasickness, finding that the root restored equilibrium in the body. On the sub-continent in India, traditional \u003cem\u003eayurvedic\u003c\/em\u003e texts recommended therapeutic uses for ginger ranging from easing joint pain and motion sickness to helping the body better absorb food nutrients. An ancient ayurvedic \u003cem\u003esutra, \u003c\/em\u003eor verse, even goes so far as to assert that everyone should eat fresh ginger before all meals to aid digestion. In Japan, the tradition of eating ginger with every meal continues into the present day. (Think of the last time you ate sushi. That bright pink, extremely strong tasting stuff on the side of the plate - that's ginger.) The Japanese believe that the natural properties of the root serve to detoxify the body of any possible toxins that may be present in food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, speaking of the taste, if you've ever eaten raw ginger, you'll know that its exceptionally \u003cem\u003epointed \u003c\/em\u003espicy character isn't for everyone. So, how can one enjoy the purported health benefits of the root if the raw version is too strong for them? By enjoying a delicious cup of Andra Detox Ginger organic tea. What's more, these compact little tea discs deliver the goodness of ginger alongside the antioxidants and cancer fighting polyphenols naturally present in green tea. We like to think of it as win-win. So, how does the spicy profile of ginger translate in the cup? Beautifully. When infused, the compressed disc slowly breaks apart exposing excellently graded full green leaves offering notes of grass and light honey softly layered by pleasing hints of ginger and subtle notes of pepper. A highly quaffable cup perfectly suited to Asian cuisine, before, during or after meals.

Lavender Respond to the rescue. This amazing combination of green tea and lavender offers a soothing pick-me-up that's perfect for sipping time of day. It's so good, we guarantee you're going to love it. How can we make that claim? Lavender has inspired feelings of love and calming relaxation for millennia. In India, the fragrant flowering shrub has long been associated with the \u003cem\u003eHeart\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eChakra\u003c\/em\u003e. (\u003cem\u003eChakra\u003c\/em\u003e is an ancient Sanskrit word for the seven centres of spiritual energy in the body.) The Heart Chakra is the energy centre of love, joy, happiness, honesty, compassion and connection with other people - it's a powerful one. Here in the West, Christian folklore has also long shown a link between lavender and love.

(Speaking of ancient Egypt, it is interesting to note that it was along the banks of the Nile that lavender was first used as a healing herb.) From the land of the Pharaohs, lavender use spread to Greece, where it was used by ancient doctors to treat insomnia and madness and then on to ancient Rome where it was used for bathing and spiritual cleansing. (Interestingly, lavender gets its name from the Romans, specifically from the Latin word \u003cem\u003eLavare\u003c\/em\u003e, to wash.)

Climbing into the upper reaches of our planet has a significant impact on the human body. One of the primary problems is that oxygen levels air decrease linearly with ascent. Using Mount Everest as an example, at the Base Camp, 5500m above sea level, the air holds about half the amount of oxygen as at sea level. At the summit, 8848m above sea level, oxygen presence falls to about one third. Obviously, this makes breathing difficult and is known to be one of the root causes of Altitude Sickness. Another effect of altitude on the body is severe dehydration. Above 2000 meters or so above sea level (6500 feet), people perspire and exhale twice as much moisture as they do at sea level. Still, despite the risks, humans continue to climb and always have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Did you know?

The count, a famous American born racecar driver was also notably the originator of the national color coding system for Formula 1 racing cars. At his insistence, in the days prior to corporate sponsorship, national colors were rolled out for the very first time at the very next race in which he was scheduled to appear, a grand prix in Naas, Ireland. Although the Count didn't make it, the Naas race marked the debut of British green, a color that would grace British racecars for years to come. Initially, the Brits had wanted to go with either red, white or blue in homage to the Union Jack, but since Blue had been claimed by France, Red by Italy and White by Germany, they decided to go with Green.

As unbelievable as they might sound, such places still exist. As you can probably imagine, these places still retain almost pristine geological and environmental conditions. With their habitats largely unchanged since ancient times, select ancient animal species continue to thrive in them despite the realities of the modern world. Jianxi Province is one such place. Located in China's South East, Jianxi is one of the last homes of the Muntjac, a genus of Muntiacus, otherwise known as Barking Deer. The Barking Deer made its first appearance on Earth around 15-35 million years ago and can still be found roaming Jianxi's hills in relatively robust numbers. The region's abundant sources of fresh water and lush valleys continue to allow this remarkable animal to live in peace as it has always done.

Look no further! Ginger Green Hi^Antiox not only brings you the antioxidant punch of Kenyan green and Japan Sencha teas, both known for their high polyphenol counts, but also the goodness of pure dried ginger. So, what's so good about ginger? We're glad you asked. In addition to having an exceptional antioxidant count of its own, ginger has been considered as something of a panacea for millennia in almost every corner of the globe. In ancient Chinese medical texts, ginger was reported to cure everything from coughs to the common cold. The ancient Romans baked ginger into bread and ate it at the end of meals to aid digestion. In India, ginger to this day is made into a paste that is rubbed on the temples to ease headaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIs there anything ginger can't do?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, ginger can't blend itself into a fabulous green tea blend. (That's where we come in.) So, why did we choose to blend the two green teas that we did? Again, we're glad you asked. Our research, conducted at Canada's University of Guelph, indicated that teas grown at the high altitudes both the Koisabei Dryer Mouth and Japan Sencha are grown at exhibit higher than usual antioxidant counts. It appears that the direct sunlight at such altitudes combined with the clear, pure air boosts leaf photosynthesis, which in turn boosts antioxidant levels -a true win\/win situation. The result is a wonderfully smooth, slightly grassy green tea layered by the delicate spice of fresh ginger -a refreshing cup that's sure to put some spice in your step!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenya, Japan, Thailand\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kericho, Shizuoka, Sing Buri\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sencha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2500', 1000', 500' ft. above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury green tea, Natural dried ginger, Natural dried calendula + sunflower petals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exceptional green tea flavor with sweet ginger finish.
