Creativi-tea

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

True creativity in action is one of those rare gifts that certain people know how to execute. Unfortunately, it is a gift that I am not particularly blessed with. Creative people see things in unique and innovative ways. Then, they are able to transform their creativity into an inspirational product that touches people in special ways. I am amazed watching Shane put together the pieces to create a new product. During this process, he disappears in the middle of the night, and in the morning, it is like the elfs have been working all night. Since, part of the product development is designing tea, I’m not surprised if the caffeine is part of what keeps him working through the night. This morning, the pieces all looked like they were coming together and I thought the project was complete. After I finished reviewing his work, I looked up and Shane was dressed and ready to go. He said, “I’m off to find more creativity.” Looking for creativity? I was confused. He explained that he needed to spend the afternoon window shopping and walking through a museum. He said, “I’m almost there. I can see there is a piece missing. I feel really close to hitting the mark.” I guess perfection has its price. In my eyes, this is creativity in action

Tea- A Powerful Weapon

Tea: A Powerful Weapon

        Although numerous cultures have enjoyed tea for centuries as a drink and some recognized its medicinal properties, only in the recent past have people begun to realize truly that tea is a powerful weapon against disease. Numerous studies are published year after year that show tea fights many debilitating and deadly diseases. In fact, more than 1,400 medical articles have been written during the past 10 years about the benefits of green tea alone.

Teas contain a number of active compounds, including catechins, quercetin, kaempferol, chlorogenic acid, theanine, theobromine and theophylline. Of greatest interest to scientists are the catechins, which may reduce stroke, heart failure, cancer, and diabetes. Green tea contains approximately 30 percent catechins, and amounts are even higher in white tea. The lowest levels are in black tea.

Tea is a major source of quercetin, which is a potent anti-inflammatory flavonoid. It also guards against cancer and protects the brain.

Clara’s Tea Party

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Tea PartyWow! Over 400 people attended the Clara’s Tea Party at the Palmer House. Whitney Lasky and the woman’s board of the Joffrey Ballet put all their love into creating a magical event. The kids were busy dancing, decorating cupcakes, and having a fantastic time. Attendees sipped on Talbott Tea’s creation of Clara’s Tea. It was a huge success. I only wish that “our” Clara (Rachel) was there.
