Hi Loves,
So, if you haven’t been keeping up, I went on a great date last weekend. (He loves tea, too!) But he was very slow in calling me back. Of course that sent my mind racing. What is he thinking? Is he going to call ever? Did he have a good time, too?
But I’m happy to say he called!!! (Finally, the dork.) Of course, I was all cool on the phone with him. It went something like this:
“Oh hi, Mr. Tea.”
“Hi Tia. How are you?”
“Oh great. Busy, busy, busy! I’ve hardly had time to think since this weekend!”
“I hope I’m not bothering you.”
“Not at all, just sitting down with a nice cup of Lemon and Roses Rooibos Tea.”
“Sounds good,” he said…
(And I promise, it got much more interesting after that.)

Hi Loves,
While I wait around for The Great Tea Date to call (and if he doesn’t call soon, he’s lost his chance with me!), I’ve been thinking about what it is that attracts two people together. Is it chemical? Is it physical? Is it chance?
I’m no biochemist or psychologist, but I’ve certainly had my share of hot-blooded and stone-cold moments. If you really like a guy, what can you do to keep the spark alive? I’m also not a witch doctor, so I’m not concocting any love potions in my kitchen. But I have been thinking about the aphrodisiac qualities of herbal tea. Could they really work?

Hi Loves,
You know, tea has gotten me quite a few dates. No, really.
A few months ago, I was shopping at my local farmers’ market, stocking up on beautiful vegetables, spring flowers, and of course, my favorite local organic tea. It was a particularly crowded Saturday, and you know how I am about being patient. I calmly, and with a smile, elbowed my way into my friendly organic tea vendor’s booth and reached for the last box of this special blend of organic loose tea. But it wouldn’t budge! Someone else was trying to grab that last box. MY last box.

Hi loves,
Sometimes you just need a hot cup of tea, you know?
Let me explain. If you’re anything like me, you sometimes get a little worked up about things. For example, I went on a great date this weekend. And when I say great, I mean OMG-this-could-be-the-real-thing stellar. (Of course, if you’re anything like me, you think that about all the guys.) He opened doors for me! He didn’t hog the conversation! He likes green tea! He bought dinner, but let me buy dessert! (Hey, I’m a modern woman.) But it’s Tuesday and he hasn’t called. What is up with that?

Greetings tea students. I know we have talked about the health benefits of tea (especially green tea) quite a bit, but we speak about it at such length because it seems every day new health benefits are being discovered.
And today, as the fall weather starts to set in, and the temperature starts to change, it is possible that you might find yourself sniffling a bit. The weather changes affect many peoples’ bodies. So it is an excellent time for me to inform you that tea can help your allergies.

Greetings, Tea students.
As you sit there with your hot cup of loose leaf tea, welcoming the first hints of Fall, perhaps you think to yourself, “Master Amanzi has taught me so much. I know how healthy tea is, where it comes from, how to make it—but how much should I drink?”
This is a good question, young Tea Seeker, and I am glad you have asked it. Your tea knowledge has grown, and I am suitably impressed.

Hark tea lovers! Teato was sitting here savoring a cup of organic loose tea when it occurred to me that there’s just so many health benefits to drinking hot tea all day long. You know how it helps with digestion, combats aging, and slows the advancement of Parkinson’s. Those are all very important. But did you know that tea keeps your teeth strong, making your alluring smile even more…alluring?

There seems to be a lot of confusion out there about the amount of caffeine in a cup of tea, and what that means. When you drop your tea bag into your cup of tea, you want to know just how much caffeine you’re getting. The short answer is that it varies—depending on whether you’re using a tea bag or loose leaf tea, how long you steep it for, etc. But fear not—Master Amanzi shall tell you more.

Greetings young Tea Students. On the long Road to Tea Enlightenment, during an idle cup of steaming herbal tea, perhaps you have thought to yourself, “How does Master Amanzi keep it together? He is so old!” Before I discipline you for your insubordination, let me tell you another tea health benefit of which I am a prime example.

Drinking loose leaf tea has many health benefits. You can look all over the internet to see all the ways tea is good for you. But here’s one you haven’t heard about yet—tea lowers your cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart disease!
My dad has a monthly appointment with his heart doctor, and I keep telling him, “You gotta get some tea up in you, dad!” Here’s the deal. The two biggest causes of heart disease are high cholesterol and triglyceride buildup.
