Apparently Mom Really Does Know Best… Check out the recent review from a 2009 Best of Blog Challenge. Yah, we know Chamomile is in the herbal category and the positive feedback is another way of sharing the love…sharing the tea…

Here is the post:

Tea of the year. I can taste my favorite tea right now. What’s yours? By Mom in the City

I love tea. I’m not very particular about the brand either. Lipton is fine. So is Celestial Seasonings. Tazo is a bit better. My favorite of the year though is “Egyptian Chamomile” from Art of Tea. I am not the only one who…Click here to read more

White Tea:

Not only is white tea high in antioxidants that protect your body from free radicals that accelerate aging, it also increases collagen in the skin, helping it maintain a supple, youthful glow.

Origins offers a line of Silver Needle White Tea based products called “A Perfect World.” According to the cosmetic company’s website, Chinese emperors of the Song Dynasty enjoyed white tea’s exquisite taste and fragrant, flowery aroma. This magic drink was prized for relieving fatigue, delighting the soul, strengthening the will and enhancing vision. Many claimed it was an important ingredient in the elixir of immortality. Today white tea is used in skin therapy – its antioxidant powers help skin look younger. The line includes facial treatments such as an antioxidant moisturizer and a firming moisture eye treatment as well as body moisturizers and cleansers.

Another skin care line, pūr~lisse (French for pure and smooth) allows “time-tested Chinese beauty rituals to embrace today’s French skin know-how for an inspirational marriage of nature and science.”  The line incorporates Art of Tea’s Organic White Tea, the most sought after white tea, only harvested for a few days each year in the northern district of Fujian, China. Packed with antioxidants, these silvery down-covered leaves have been prized for their medicinal properties for more than 1000 years.  Their pūr~delicate gentle soy milk cleanser and makeup remover is a blend of Soy Milk, Soy Proteins, Oatmeal and White Tea.

Treat yourself and incorporate some white tea into your beauty ritual!

To say that this time of year is crazy would be an understatement. Between family, shopping, traveling, and holiday parties, most people’s stress, sugar, and alcohol intake levels are at a yearly high. Now there’s nothing wrong with enjoying a gingerbread cookie or two – even a hot buttered rum here and there can be pretty innocuous, but toss stress into the mix and you’re dealing with a dangerous trifecta.
This is where Art of Tea’s own restorative trifecta comes into play. Here are three simple and soothing solutions to your holiday-induced trauma.
Before indulging in high spirits, enjoy what some health authorities refer to as a “pre-tox” tea, which may help cleanse and detox. Our Pre-Tox tea has an essence of cleansing tangerine splashed over antioxidant rich green tea, schizandra berries, lemongrass, orange peel and dandelion root. Think of it as a preemptive strike of sorts.
Say you didn’t get a chance to brew a cup of Pre-Tox – not to worry, there’s always Post-Tox, a caffeine free blend of milk thistle, fennel, coriander with roots of chicory, burdock and dandelion that promise to rejuvenate both body and mind.
As added insurance, enjoy a cup of our award winning Green Pomegranate tea. Full of antioxidants, this tea will “wax-on, wax-off” any residual free-radicals and wipe out straggling stressors.
And if all three of these don’t help, well, half a cookie couldn’t hurt.

Things are complicated these days – Mac or PC, Blockbuster or Netflix, highlights or lowlights, yoga or pilates, the list goes on and on. To further complicate things, today’s consumers now have more options than ever before – the internet, television, magazines, newspapers and Billy Mays inundate us with “can’t live without products” on a daily basis. Although all this pomp and circumstance can be overwhelming, we can simplify by making small choices that benefit our well-being. Something as simple as choosing to get out of the house and take a walk or drink a hot cup of tea instead of, say, an energy drink, can have an immediate effect on your mood and state of mind.
At Art of Tea we try and give you a variety of healthful and palate-pleasing options. Our Tea of the Month Club is a great way for you to experience our teas, enabling you to become an informed consumer and connoisseur of tea. Each package lets you, “Experience tea classics, rare finds and specialty blends created exclusively for Tea of the Month members.” Each month a new tea will be shipped for a total of 12, 6, or 3 months – depending on the package you choose – to your desired location. The teas are seasonal and alternate each month.
