Hey there, Tea People!

Are you having fun reading about tea? The health benefits of tea, the different kinds of loose teas, how long to leave your tea bags in—all that stuff? Those guys seem to know what they’re talking about. I’d listen to them.

I’ve got a little something different for you. Those other stuffed shirts might like to talk about how tea is made, and the difference between white tea and black tea, loose leaf tea vs. tea bags, or whatever. Well, all I care about is how good the tea tastes.

I’m not saying hot tea isn’t already delicious. I like it as much as the next girl, of course. But sometimes, I want a little something extra. So today I’m going to tell you a little bit about something I put into my tea sometimes—milk.

Hello my tea pets. How are you feeling? A little under the weather, you say?  Worry no more–Teato is here to tell you about yet another health benefit of tea. I am taking a break from writing poetry to my new love, and sitting down with a hot cup of herbal tea as you should be, too.

There’s a lot of chatter about all the healthy foods out there, and unhealthy foods too, and what you should and shouldn’t eat. Teato’s head spins sometimes with all the conflicting information. But I have learned that after a romantic night of dining on oysters and chocolate, I often need a warm cup of Rooibos tea to calm my tummy.

Tea is a delicious drink for morning noon and night. It comes in a million flavors. You already know this. But here’s something of which you might not be aware. Tea is good for you. Green tea is known to have some positive effects. Herbal tea also has been noted to be beneficial to your health. But let us be a bit more specific.

I, the Earl of Grey, have taken a moment of my precious time to remind you that I invented tea, throwing tea leaves into my drink as a result of sudden inspiration. (I don’t care what Master Amanzi says, it was my idea!) So I shall tell you now why I still look so good for my age—tea has many health benefits.

Like what, you ask? I shall be brief, as my time is extremely valuable.

Hullo Tea Loving Peasants, Serfs, and Commoners. ‘Tis I, the Earl of Grey, here to tell you all about a startling discovery.

It seems studies in China have discovered that green tea, in conjunction with the reishi mushroom, has been proven to drastically slow the growth and invasiveness of cancerous tumors.

Teato believes in being fit, in mind, in body, and in heart. I always make sure to run every day to exercise my body, write poetry about the many ways I love tea to exercise my mind, and share my time with beautiful women to exercise my heart.

Teato is sick–heartsick. As love passes in and out of your life, it’s natural to feel empty, lonely, and…fluish. Whenever Teato’s heart gets broken, I’m sure to get a cold. But the best news is that tea, all kinds—herbal tea, rooibos tea, black, white—can help me, and you, get back on our feet.

Tea is wonderful; we all know that. But it’s also one of the healthiest drinks out there. How healthy, you ask?

Jasmine here to tell you guys about a little something I read on the web. Turns out there’s this relatively new study that says that green tea can help protect you from Parkinson’s Disease.

Parkinson’s is a progressive, degenerative disorder of the central nervous system caused by the death of cells that produce dopamine, an important neurotransmitter. Parkinson’s sufferers typically experience tremors, muscle rigidity, extreme stiffness, and many other symptoms. Saddest of all, there is still no cure for this horrible disease.
