GIFT OF HEALTH


    Instead of a box of chocolates this Valentines Day, you might want to consider giving the gift of tea. It's a wonderful way of letting your loved ones know just how much you truly care! And what better way to show someone you love them, then a gift that goes straight to the heart! You little cupid, you!
   Tea has been shown to contain a great range of medicinal benefits, not the least of which include antioxidants, antibacterials and antivirals. Antioxidants contain nutrients that protect our bodies from damage by free radicals. 
    White tea, in particular, contains an amazing amount of protective nutrients called flavanoids and may offer a profound way of inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and prevent the development of new ones. Here are some other healthy benefits --- lowers blood cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugars, along with promoting healthy skin & strengthening bones while increasing body metabolism. If that is not enough...this power-packed beverage contains small amounts of flouride for healthy teeth and gums and is also a diuretic!
   The Tea Peddler makes tea giving fun both for the gift giver and the recipient! You can design your own label and send it to me electronically to attach on a professional label and/or send a photo I can incorporate into a custom design. This makes a special, one-of-a-kind gift for any occasion! You can choose from an array of containers we offer ranging from different style tea tins in loads of colors to more contemporary style specialty bags. And...unlike a box of chocolates which has a short shelf life, tea never goes bad! If properly stored, tea can last up to two years! After that time, it just gets weaker. 
   So, the next time you reach for a box of chocolates to show someone you love them...think again!          Tea...anyone?
