(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 27, 2013 ) Tokyo, Japan -- Tea has been largely associated with the culture of Great Britain and other European and Far East countries. Despite its absence from cultural descriptions of the United States, it has been present since the country's beginnings and plays a bigger role in the everyday lives of citizens than ever before. Current trends are driven by studies on tea's health benefits and weight loss properties.
Scientific evidence points to substances in tea which fight disease, prevent cancer, and help people lose weight and relax. American culture is increasingly conscious of health, which in part is contributing to the rising popularity of tea. Trends in pop culture are one thing. Modern transportation and technology have brought tea traditions and products onto the radar of the general population. Fascination in the ancient aspects of many teas is also fueling interest.
Tea in fact is not new to America. Early colonists drank it, and it was the main focus of the Boston Tea Party. While there hasn't traditionally been much outward enthusiasm, people have been drinking tea to warm up during the winter and cool down in the summer. Large foreign companies have emerged in recent years, largely importing tea leaves and other products. These have helped to fuel interest as tea products have been aggressively marketed.
Some of these organizations have opened branches in the U.S., including in California and Hawaii. Not much tea is produced in the states as of yet; production is spotty at best. There are, however, many specialty shops selling tea from England, Asia, India, and other locations. This phenomenon has allowed Americans to experiment with various types and develop their preferences.
The interest in tea in the U.S. is growing. As such, companies such as Coolahoo are stepping up to provide great products to help people enjoy it more. The Coolahoo Premium Tea Infuser makes it a synch to fill up the stainless steel mesh basket and allow the tea leaves room to expand. Its design allows more flavor and nutritious elements into the mixture. Easy to clean and usable with most cups, pots, and mugs, the infuser is a great product to have as tea becomes ever more popular in the United States.
