Jiaogulan Tea -Gynostemma-Jiao Gu Lan Tea- Premium grade ‘Immortality tea’ in Pyramid tea bags- Free from Caffeine!

Jiaogulan originates in Southern China. In villages in the area it has been drunk for thousands of years. It was brought to the attention of the west after a large study of the health of the inhabitants of China and their eating and drinking habits. People in the villages who drank jiao gu lan tea were shown to have one of the longest life expectancies in the world with people regularly living and working until over 100 years old. Scientifically jiao gu lan is referred to as gynostemma pentaphyllum. So far over 40 scientific studies have shown that gynostemma benefits nearly all the major organs. It can also improve sleep, regulate blood sugar levels and increase day time energy levels. It has a regulatory effect on the whole body which has lead it to be dubbed an adaptogenic herb like ginseng but without the over stimulating effect of ginseng. Traditionally it was drunk as loose leaf tea. Pyramid tea bags allow you to easily replicate this effect allowing the tea to circulate freely to increase its effects. The pyramid tea bags also allow us to use higher quality tea as flat tea bags generally use the left over dust or lower grade left overs which are all that fit in these tea bags. Herbal teas are only effective if fresh. We therefore seal all our tea bags in air tight bags and then use a solid tin for storage. Cardboard boxes just don’t work! Each tin contains 15 crafted pyramid tea bags. The taste of Jiaogulan is sweet unlike other health giving teas and pleasant to drink. This improves the experience and your whole day!1 Tea bag makes 3 pots of tea

Everything but the Coffee: Learning about America from Starbucks

Everything but the Coffee casts a fresh eye on the world’s most famous coffee company, looking beyond baristas, movie cameos, and Paul McCartney CDs to understand what Starbucks can tell us about America. Bryant Simon visited hundreds of Starbucks around the world to ask, Why did Starbucks take hold so quickly with consumers? What did it seem to provide over and above a decent cup of coffee? Why at the moment of Starbucks’ profit-generating peak did the company lose its way, leaving observers baffled about how it might regain its customers and its cultural significance? Everything but the Coffee probes the company’s psychological, emotional, political, and sociological power to discover how Starbucks’ explosive success and rapid deflation exemplify American culture at this historical moment. Most importantly, it shows that Starbucks speaks to a deeply felt American need for predictability and class standing, community and authenticity, revealing that Starbucks’ appeal lies not in the product it sells but in the easily consumed identity it offers.

Japanese Way of Tea: From Its Origin in China to Sen Rikyu

The author follows tea drinking practices from their arrival in Japan to the time of Rikyu, considering at each stage the relevant historical changes and their significance for the Way of Tea. Shortly after its arrival during the Heian era (794-1185), tea was celebrated by Japanese poets, who attributed the same spiritual qualities to the beverage as had their Chinese contemporaries. During the medieval era, however, tea began to take on a distinctively Japanese character. Eisai (1141-1215), the founder of the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism, accentuated the medicinal aspect of tea and saw it as a means of salvation in a spiritually degenerate age (mappo).
