Coconut water.
That amalgam of leafy greens, lemon juice, maybe a punch of cayenne you nurse after spin class that costs more than your lunch.
The Kochumba you've heard is an acquired taste.
Tea.
Yes, tea, the beverage that has predated all the rest by thousands of years, originating in China before the Common Era.
The folks at Tea Savant have turned their passion for premium teas into an enterprise, offering 100% premium teas via their website, www.teasavant.com. Tea Savant sources the world's best tea leaves to create over 80 different classic teas, herbals, and tea blends, from black and green teas to a proprietary line of diet teas. The teas are sold in loose leaf form, allowing you to steep the tea for maximum taste and health benefits.
I've had a chance to sample a variety of blends, including my favorite afternoon sip, Earl Grey Roasted Almond. The Earl Grey is punched by just the right amount of Bergamot and the delightful addition of slivers of almonds that give the tea a flavor boost.
Tea Savant offers a number of blends incorporating ingredients such as vanilla bean, dried banana, shredded coconut, and other fruits. The teas can be enjoyed hot or iced.
When I sat down with Tea Savant's Patti Samuels, she shared about the propietary diet teas. I've tasted those teas that numb your taste buds or promise to reduce your appetite. Still, I was intrigued enough to ask for a few blends to try at home.
Tea Savant's diet teas are a delicious way to incorporate antioxidants such as EGCG, a powerhouse phytochemical linked to health benefits including weight loss and cancer prevention. This antioxidant is present in fruits, vegetables, wine, cocoa, and green tea. According to a New York Times blog post, green tea steeped from loose leaves has demonstrated a significantly higher concentration of the antioxidant than tea steeped from tea bags or bottled ice teas.
I've enjoyed the diet teas hot and iced, a pleasant way to keep the body hydrated as well as reap the benefits from green tea's antioxidants and catechins, associated with fat-burning properties. Tea Savant offers several diet teas infused with fruit flavors, including Skinny Passion Green Tea, Sweet Strawberry Skinny Tea, and Skinny Mega Berry Tea, satisfying between meal refreshers.
The Sweet Thinny Green Tea provides a natural detox. The tea's touch of sweetness is derived from fresh shaved coconut. Tea Savant's teas are free of artifical flavors, colors, or artificial sweeteners. Sweet Jasmine Skinny Tea features fresh, young green tea leaves, steamed to preserve catechins, infused with delicate, aromatic Jasmine. Tea Savant's Thinny Green Tea includes instantly steamed green tea leaves to preserve maximum EGCG and is best enjoyed after minimum steeping.
Tea Savant offers a variety of healthy, tasty loose leaf teas. Visit the Tea Savant website to find out more about the teas, as well as directions for steeping loose leaf tea.
