(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 19, 2013 ) Tokyo, Japan -- Tea has many healthy aspects, including many vitamins which are essential for the body. It is also full of amino acids and antioxidants which can help lessen the chance of things like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. As a coffee drinking nation, most Americans are not used to drinking tea on a daily basis.
There are many ways to incorporate tea drinking into one's life which is not only beneficial to one's health but it's also enjoyable.
A Daily Routine
We talked with Daniel Hall, the CEO of Coolahoo, which recently launched their first product, the Coolahoo Premium Tea Infuser. Hall says that one excellent way to start enjoying tea is to make time each day for it whether it is at home or at the office. He suggests setting up several routines throughout the day such as a tea at breakfast and another as an afternoon break to relieve the stress of work.
"Tea at breakfast is a great way to start off the day. Not only do you get vitamins and minerals, but both the tea and the aroma can make you alert and ready to go giving you a nice boost of energy. Try different teas and see which ones help wake you up and help you work," Hall says.
Hall also suggests that, it is best to try to keep some different tea stock both at home and in the office. He says, "Instead of grabbing a cup of java, brew a tea and learn to enjoy both the subtle taste and aroma. If you start to do this daily, you will notice that your stress levels will go down allowing you to focus so you can get things done."
Hall also added, "Creating a ritual in the household can allow the whole family to spend quality time together. Do like the British do and use the time to talk and enjoy eating a biscuit with your tea. Your children will come to love tea time."
Learning About and Discovering Different Teas
Hall adds another suggestion, "Another good way to start introducing tea into your life is to learn about the different types." Tea has a long history and is popular throughout many different countries. It's interesting to learn about them and how each country enjoys them.
Hall encourages people to buy and try different teas and blends and says, "Loose leaf tea is better than tea bags as it is normally of better quality and fresher which means that it has better flavor, aroma, and benefits."
Every major tea has different benefits. For example, green tea has antioxidants and vitamin C, ginger tea can help with nausea, and rooibos tea has hydrating properties and electrolytes. Choosing teas based on their nutritional needs and how they make you feel is another good way to learn about tea.
Cooking with Tea
Another way is to learn about tea is to cook with it. There are many recipes which call for tea and the possibilities afford the chance to enjoy the beverage in a different way than from just drinking. For example, the Japanese have found many ways to use macha tea and green tea in their foods and sweets. A quick search on the Internet will quickly produce many different recipes whether it is for green tea or a different tea.
Taking Tea on Trips
Hall says, "Don't just think about work or home. Tea can be brought along for the ride. Whether going away for work or pleasure, it is easy to make and carry in a thermos."
In Asian countries, tea is often seen being drunk at many outdoor events and trips and is considered much healthier when compared to a soft drink.
Coolahoos popular tea infuser can be found on Amazon.
Hall says, "Our Premium Tea Infuser comes with a free eBook which introduces the major world teas and the best way to prepare them to help customers learn more about tea."
Hall concludes, "If you want to start incorporating tea into your life, I recommend a tea infuser so that you can explore the full benefits of brewing and drinking loose leaf tea which is much better than tea bags."
