Rich brown leaves with golden tips yield a distinguished multi-layered “malty” flavor. We have chosen a traditional, orthodox full leaf tea. Full bodied, deep gold in color, Assam tea is the perfect breakfast tea. The oldest tea growing region of Assam in NE India has low, rolling hills creating a great environment for rich tea. Hot days combined with cool nights bring out the fullest flavor.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">My Findings...</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Bagged but bold!</p><div style="text-align: center;"> This is a creamy malty not an overly-bold or strong manly malty. It’s still of good strength so we will go with a medium strength bold and malty description.

Please join us for a very special Japanese tea ceremony, a tasting of 2010 Fresh Crop Teas and a presentation by Joshua Kaiser, founder and tea buyer of Rishi Tea.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Rishi Tea invites you to a very special Japanese tea ceremony, known as Sencha-do, taking place June 11th – June 13th at 11:45am, 2pm and 3:30pm in Booth # 401. Mr. Yoshikura, a master of Sencha-do from the Obaku Kofu Ryu established in 1959, will lead the ceremonies and demonstrate the way of four green teas including Gyokuro (Secret Garden), cold-brew Sencha, hot-brew Sencha and Bancha. Each session will feature one tea and last 40 minutes and are open to all on a first come, first served basis.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Cha No Yu, the Japanese tea ceremony using Matcha powdered green tea is known to many, but few outside of Japan are familiar with the ceremony for loose leaf tea called Sencha-do.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Sencha-do or “the way of Sencha,” became widespread in Japan during the 19th Century. Sencha-do became a non-political and less formal means for Japanese intelligentsia to rebel against the hierarchy and politics surrounding "Cha No Yu" powdered tea ceremony of the era. Sencha-do is inspired by the reclusive ancient Chinese tea sages and intellectuals that used tea as a social and more spiritual way to enjoy loose leaf tea to get away from the daily grind and enjoy life.<br /><br /> <br /><br />As with Chinese Gong Fu Cha, there are specific brewing methods and etiquette for Sencha-do ceremony, which include unique teaware and distinct pouring methods. Sencha-do schools and tea instructors practice unique brewing techniques and tea concepts specific to Sencha, Gyokuro and other Japanese green tea. Tea lovers and baristas can learn the brewing techniques that are unique to loose leaf Sencha and green teas by taking part in Rishi Tea’s Sencha-do Ceremony.<br /><br /> <br /><br />In addition to the scheduled Sencha-do classes, Joshua Kaiser, along with visiting tea experts, will lead focused tastings of 2010 Fresh Crop Teas from Japan, Taiwan, China, etc. These tastings will be held at various times throughout the weekend in Booth # 401. Guests are welcome to join and share with us some of this year’s most exciting new teas, fresh from origin!<br /><br /> <br /><br />Lastly, join Joshua for a presentation on the foundation and strong points of Rishi Tea and its unique organic supply chain, taking place Saturday, June 12th at 12:30pm on the show floor of the World Tea Expo in the Vendor Presentation Theater.<br /><br /> <br /><br />We look forward to seeing you there!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17879172662451839222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146524115266349925.post-45711027985049231722010-05-25T05:17:00.000-07:002010-05-25T05:54:29.817-07:00Snowflake by Georgia Tea Company<div style="text-align: center;"><iframe src="http://georgiateacompany.com/bc.php?affiliate_id=2&banner_id=vm+88&lt1=1&bc1=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000" style="width: 120px; height: 200px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br /><br /><br />DO YOU LIKE COCONUT?<br /><br /><br />Well, if you do you are going to want to check out this tea! It’s called SNOWFLAKE and it’s from Georgia Tea Company. Their customer service is wonderful! They have a great selection of teas to fit any palate and they are very reasonably priced! <br /><br />SNOWFLAKE is a flavored Black Tea…with coconut, almond and vanilla flavoring. Georgia Tea Company says it’s A Christmas favorite and is Great with sugar and cream! I, however, drink ALL of my tea plain. <br /><br />There’s just something about these Georgia Tea Company Teas and the way they smell that I just can’t get past! The aroma is INTENSE and I LOVE it!!!! It smells of Coconut, Almond, and Vanilla and just in that order. I can clearly see those ingredients in the mix as well! I’ve been trying to think of which Christmas Cookie this remind me of…there’s ISN’T a chocolate scent to it but fairly cookie-like. It’s a medium strength flavored black tea with a perfect amount of those ingredients throughout! <br /><br />If you can’t have a cookie…have this tea! It’s truly unique and YUMMY!<br /></p><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17879172662451839222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146524115266349925.post-85490314800360317752010-05-20T07:19:00.000-07:002010-05-20T07:24:27.400-07:00My Full Length KATI Review......has been featured on It's All About The Leaf!!!!<br /><a href="http://www.itsallabouttheleaf.com/514/tea-accessory-review-tea-forte-kati-tea-system/">http://www.itsallabouttheleaf.com/514/tea-accessory-review-tea-forte-kati-tea-system/</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17879172662451839222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146524115266349925.post-23652262226591841922010-05-19T08:26:00.000-07:002010-05-19T08:33:21.875-07:00Manhattan Tribute Blend Helps Fight Cancer!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="text-align: center;">In the ongoing fight to conquer cancer, 10% of proceeds from the sale of Mark T.

Scott, Chief Leaf of Pearl Fine Teas, Anthony K. Sudler, President & Chief Executive Officer and Tammy Reardon, Corporate Assistance Director for Alzheimer's Association, National Capital Area Chapter have been collaborating for over a year to make this event happen.</p> <i>"When Anthony and Tammy approached me last spring with the idea to partner, I knew immediately I wanted in," said Ms. Scott. "The cause is very personal for me given that my maternal grandmother suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's."</i> <p><i>"The Women and Alzheimer's Initiative will be bolstered by having Pearl Fine Teas as our official tea vendor. The teas will be promoted to our members, families and persons with Alzheimer's as a naturally healthy and soothing beverage for women", said Mr. Sudler.</i></p> Three unique tea blends were created exclusively for the Woman's Initiative - The Evelyn (a rooibos, black tea blend), The Beatrice (a caffeine-free herbal blend) and The KarenSue (a green tea blend that can be used over ice or in cocktails). The tea blends will be available for sale at the Luncheon and eventually sold though the web. Additionally, 25% of the proceeds will be given back to the Association. <p>These special tea blends were named after Ms. Scott's and Ms. Reardon's grandmothers and KarenSue Zimmerman. Ms. Zimmerman currently works with the organization and has been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's.</p> <i>"I spent a year reading research and information on teas, fruits and herbal combinations that could contribute to patient's health. The health benefits of Green tea which contains many antioxidants, including those known as flavonoids, may protect against damage to the brain caused by charged particles called free radicals. We know there is no cure for Alzheimer's, but tea could potentially be another weapon to treat this disease and slow down its development. It's also beneficial for caregivers who absorb a lot of the stress," said Ms. Scott. "I'm excited to partner with the organization and do what I can to help fight the disease."</i> <div><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#003366;" >About the Woman and Alzheimers Inititative </span></div> The Alzheimer's Association, National Capital Area Chapter is inviting women who care about Alzheimer's and its impact on women and their families to "Get Engaged!" Their three-year goal is to connect with 5,000 community-minded women to actively help fulfill our vision to create a world without Alzheimer's. This initiative will help women to find out about and have access to vital programs and services that can help them in their caregiving journey and in their personal well-being. It also will bring together women from all walks of life as advocates, volunteers, champions, and donors raise public awareness and concern about Alzheimer's. <p style="text-align: left;"><a color="#CC6600" href="http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103364820055&s=1512&e=001SjFXCo7ziZW79LmwbEcsc7qYjbWKwdWSRgcIguIRbEv-ELl3XOZXm2_7pnC9p1NBynKierXJMa9LluZu4l-KI4wSSZQtjClYachQcHbHicSAVN_X6BwyWQ==" shape="rect" style="color: rgb(204, 102, 0);" target="_blank">www.getengagednow.org</a></p> <span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:'Trebuchet MS',Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#003366;" ><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 102);font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;color:#003366;" >About Pearl Fine Teas</span></span> <p>Pearl Fine Teas, owned and operated by Elise E.

A nice user-friendly website with a good selection of teas and quite a bit of tea information and education! I decided to drop them an email to tell them that I enjoyed my visit on their site and their customer service was great! They responded to email very quickly and today I received some samples in the mail! I have at least 6 reviews on different teas of theirs coming up soon! I thought I would give you a heads-up! <br /><br />In addition, my tea adventures have been very exciting lately! And I haven't even had to leave my keyboard! The internet is the BEST thing for Tea Nerds, isn't it!? Seriously!<br /><br />I have also been in contact with a few more website about writing and reviewing opportunities and I will certainly cross promote my tea happenings here! So stay tuned!!<br /><br />As always, thanks for reading and have a happy tea day!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17879172662451839222noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8146524115266349925.post-89552909471001454432010-04-23T19:01:00.000-07:002010-04-23T19:06:17.109-07:00Tea & Crafts<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvDHh4FhN5Vgfja3-T7-T_ik0FvTGcze7goF1fcQxznywMa-prC7vaLFpMSQFQZ7CvAAg-qHNyzsQotjmS-bUwSXx0Cs-KLfbeu-coXB7Z3r3bHeNrAri2Eeeaq-uQu7l6uMGoRFkFho/s1600/TeaSwapBook.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 237px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvDHh4FhN5Vgfja3-T7-T_ik0FvTGcze7goF1fcQxznywMa-prC7vaLFpMSQFQZ7CvAAg-qHNyzsQotjmS-bUwSXx0Cs-KLfbeu-coXB7Z3r3bHeNrAri2Eeeaq-uQu7l6uMGoRFkFho/s320/TeaSwapBook.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5463518653738337842" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I mentioned a while back that my main blog is actually a craft blog and I belong to a few Design Teams for Digital Stamps, Crafting Communities, and Scrapbooking type adventures. Here is an altered Notebook I made with <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/teariffic-stamps/prod_2195.html">this set</a> from LSS available at MyGraficO.com...specifically for MY Tea Swaps and Tea Buddies!<br /><br />This is also an attempt to get myself a little more organized and keep all of my tea swapping info all in one place!<br /><br />I think it's GREAT that more and more Digital Stamp Companies are coming out with more and more tea items. I'm also currently in the process of starting a Tea Album and Tea Collage Album...hope to have more pictures and info on that in the next few weeks!<br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17879172662451839222noreply@blogger.com1
