I had always been anti tea drinking. I think this came about after having attended a corporate wives "tea party" in my previous life. I remember sitting there all dressed up in the middle of the afternoon, a cool 100 degrees of pure Dallas heat, a group of women who I had nothing in common with, sipping hot tea and the smallest sandwiches I've ever seen (canapés, if you are serving them, tiny sandwiches if you are eating them).
Driving home that afternoon, I almost had a car accident, and after I stopped shaking, it dawned on me how upset I would have been if this is how I had spent my last day on earth. I made some life changing decisions that day...all of them for the good, including learning to enjoy tea, both for the flavor and the benefits.
Tea Forte is a beautiful line of teas. I personally enjoy the green tea collection. As most of us now know, studies have shown that antioxidant-rich green tea can reduce heart disease, cancer, signs of aging and overall mortality. I figure two cups a day of this miracle drink and I can keep at least 2 bad habits and still be healthy!
For those of you who don't like hot tea, Tea Forte has developed "tea over ice". A beautiful heat resistant double pitcher set. Pour boiling water over the infuser in the top pitcher, steep for 3-5 minutes, pour over ice in the bottom pitcher and enjoy the most perfect ice tea!
What ever your feeling on tea is, I encourage you to try this line. Who knows, maybe it will even bring a life changing experience into your life.
