JUST SAY NO TO TEABAGS

Batavia, IL October 8, 2003: Octavia Tea, a recent startup that provides specialty Green, Black, White and Herbal tea via mail order and the Internet has found success by educating people about the virtues of loose leaf tea.

“All tea is not equal” says Alex Rumble, founder of Octavia Tea. “High-quality tea is comparable to fine wine. Teas are often named for the estates where they are grown and have distinctly different tastes based on their country of origin. Tea can be described using “wine” vocabulary; Words like brisk, toasty, fruity, nutty, mellow, subtle, robust, full-bodied, earthy, vegetal, strong, sweet, and delicate. Most people are usually shocked at the difference in appearance and taste of our loose leaf teas verses what they normally buy at the local grocery store.”

“Giant food companies that make tea bags typically buy thousands of pounds of the cheapest, low-grade tea from hundreds of tea plantations around the world. They chop all of the tea up into dust and mix everything together.” Expounds Elizabeth Stephano, Co-founder of Octavia Tea. “They do this because tea’s quality and price fluctuate depending on the producing country’s political and economic climate, the presence of war, and the effects of droughts and monsoons. Mixing all sorts of tea together is the only way to keep the price and taste stable. They do this to keep their costs down, but at a price to the consumer. Furthermore chopping the tea into dust makes the tea go stale much quicker. Nearly all of the tea on the grocery store shelves is well-past its prime; the small bits of tea infuse unevenly in hot water so the resulting brew may have more caffeine and less health benefits. We’ve published an extensive website to help inform people about the many types, flavors and potential health benefits that come with drinking loose leaf tea. And with teas available like Organic jasmine Pearl a green tea hand-rolled into pearls and scented with night-blooming Jasmine people can see and taste the difference that comes with brewing loose leaf tea.”

Octavia Tea provides high quality loose leaf teas from around the world. The company can be reached by visiting www.OctaviaTea.com or calling 1-866-506-6387
