Tea not only to Drink............


Now you can take all the goodness of Eden Grove’s Estate Organic White Tea and make a superb, delicious meal. Eden Grove’s Organic White Tea, with Ceylon spice for fish & meat, will provide you, your family, and guests with a truly unique culinary experience.

White Tea is a rare tea treasure. The most tender and soft after-buds are hand-plucked only two days of the year in early spring. The workers carefully hand-pick the silver buds and select leaves. The tea is then simply air-dried in natural sunlight to help preserve more of the natural antioxidant properties of Organic White Tea.

Different types of tea yield different marble colors. Green tea yields exquisite yellow shades.
This tea is also scrumptious with fish, beef, pork, lamb or chicken, and it has the added benefit of tenderizing meats. But don’t limit yourself to just one recipe!

I’ll drink — and eat — to that!

Tea Rub Chicken Serves 4

1 cup Eden Grove Organic White Tea Rub for Chicken
4 boneless chicken breasts with skin
¼ cup Cold press olive oil
2 shallots, minced
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. Spread the Eden Grove Organic tea rub on a large plate and dredge the chicken breasts in it on both sides.

2. Take the leftover Eden Grove Organic White Tea Rub for Chicken and mix with the cold press olive oil, shallots and lemon juice/zest. Grind fresh peppercorns and salt to taste into the paste and brush on the breasts.

3. Grill over coals about thirty minutes, turning every five minutes and basting with the reserved marinade.

The number one reason is that tea tastes good! It is fairly easy to lose sight of this when we think about the many other attributes of tea.

Tea is both refreshing and relaxing.

Tea is full of powerful natural compounds that are beneficial to health. Scientists have found that tea can have an inhibitory effect on cardiovascular disease and certain forms of cancer. It contributes to good oral health and has been found to help maintain bone density and reduce stress.

Tea is a natural product, virtually devoid of calories, fat, sodium and other potentially harmful ingredients.

Tea is versatile and compatible with many foods and flavorings.

Tea provides a nearly endless array of taste sensations. Like fine wines, the rarest forms of tea are sought after the world over. Yet tea is inexpensive, even in its most exotic forms.

Tea represents Old World traditions. Inviting friends for tea can provide an elegant social occasion.

Why Caffeine is put in to a wonderful Camelia Sinesis Plant????

“If you are cold, tea will warm you;
if you are too heated, it will cool you;
if you are depressed, it will cheer you;
if you are excited, it will calm you.”


William E. Gladstone quotes (British Statesman and Prime Minister (1868-1894)

Caffeine and Tea

What Is Caffeine????



Caffeine was first discovered in tea in 1827, and was named theine. It was later found in mate and various other plants. Eventually it was shown that the theine of tea was identical with the caffeine of coffee, and the term theine was then dropped.


Does Tea Contain More Caffeine Than Coffee?????

While coffee and tea are both sources of caffeine, the amounts of caffeine in any single serving of these beverages varies significantly. An average serving of coffee contains the most caffeine, yet the same serving size of tea provides only 1/2 to 1/3 as much.One of the more confusing aspects of caffeine content is the fact that coffee contains less caffeine than tea when measured in its dry form. The caffeine content of a prepared cup of coffee is significantly higher than the caffeine content of a prepared cup of tea


Tea Black (8oz) 40mg

Tea Green (8oz) 20mg
Tea White(8oz) 10mg

Coca Cola (12 oz can) 34 mg

Pepsi (12 oz can) 38 mg

Barq's Root Beer (12 oz can) 22 mg

Chocolate milk (8 oz) 4 mg

Dark chocolate (1 oz) 20 mg

Milk chocolate (1 oz) 6 mg


What is Decaffeinated Tea??

Decaf tea is any tea that has undergone a process which eliminates most of the caffeine content. Two processes are currently used to commercially decaffeinate tea, an ethyl acetate and a CO2 method. While the ethyl acetate method is cheaper and easier, the CO2 method has been proven much safer. Decaf tea is the perfect alternative for tea lovers who are trying to lower their caffeine intake.

Benefits of Tea

Numerous studies have demonstrated the anti-cancer properties of antioxidant polyphenols. Some studies have suggested that tea's polyphenols may reduce the risk of gastric, esophageal and skin cancers, if one consumes 4 to 6 cups daily. Another study showed that just 2 cups of tea may lower the risk of ovarian cancer by 46 percent in women. Other studies have found that polyphenols help prevent blood clotting and lower cholesterol levels. One Japanese study found that Green Tea lowers death rates from heart Disease.

Blooming Teas or Flowering Teas

Blooming Teas

A finest collection of hand-sewn green and white tea with fresh flowers.
These beautiful display teas are a delight for both your eyes and taste buds. They are mini floral bouquets that bloom when water is poured over them. The blooms have been created by skilled artists in China who hand tie jasmine scented green tea leaves around fresh flower blossoms. The results are small tea balls with a unique sweet scent and flavour. One bloom may take 1 minute up to 10 minutes for sewing depending on the shapes and flowering types. While still moist the leaves are shaped into balls, mushrooms, cones etc and finally the teas go through the usual drying, oxidation and firing process.

Method of Preparation

Place one bloom in a teapot (a clear glass teapot is recommended so you may watch it unfurl). Bring water to a low boil and pour over tea. The tea leaves will unfurl and the tea flower will slowly open. Allow to steep 2-3 minutes, or to desired strength.
After enjoying the first pot, a Flowering Tea may be re-steeped 2-3 more times. The tea you make should be decanted into teacups within a short period of time so that leaves do not remain in hot water, which would adversely affect the fine taste of this tea. Please note that above estimations are based upon a teapot which holds 18-20 ounces.
Alternatively, you can also place blooms in wide mouthed wine glasses and pour 5 – 7 ounces of low boiling water.

1. Good Luck Bloom
Delicate and delicious spring green tea hand-wrapped around beautiful jasmine buds brews a lovely bouquet of tropical flavours and rich fragrance.

2. Flower of Wealth
Delicate and delicious spring green tea brews into a lovery bouquet of chrysanthemum blossom with colorful marigold petals.

3. Spring Delight
Delicate and delicious spring green tea brews delightful and colourful jasmine and marigold flowers reminiscent of spring time.

Miracles of Tea


"Tea is the second most common beverage in the world".......second only to water!
All the teas come from the "Camellia Sinensis"plant (Black, Green, Oolong,White) however, there are many "teas" that are infusions of different plants and herbs that have other properties.
There are many various health benefits of tea that vary by the type of tea.

Types of Tea
1. Black Tea-Black tea is the most common type of tea in our culture. It is tasty with milk and sugar, with honey, or by itself. Black tea is a variety of tea that is more oxidized than the Oolong, green, and white varieties. Black tea is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than the less oxidized teas.

2.Green Tea-Green tea is a type of tea made solely with the leaves of the tea plant that has undergone minimal oxidation during processing. There are many health benefits of green tea.

3.Traditional Oolong Tea-Oolong is a traditional Chinese tea some where between green and black in oxidation. It ranges from 10% to 70% oxidation. Oolong has a taste more akin to green tea than to black tea: it lacks the rosy, sweet aroma of black tea but it likewise does not have the stridently grassy notes that typify green tea.

4. White Tea-White Tea is the uncured and unoxidized tea leaf.White tea is very different in flavor from other teas. The flavor of white tea is far more delicate than other teas. It also has a sweeter flavor than other teas, and is paler in color. In addition, white tea has very little aroma.



5. Rooibos Tea-Rooibos teas are herbal infusions often called "Red tea", made from a South African red bush. Red tea is usually sweet and delicious either hot or iced. These naturally caffeine-free teas are extremely high in antioxidants and typically Vitamin C as well, as they often contain fruit pieces.

What is an antioxidant? An antioxidant is a compound, which retards oxidation. In the body antioxidants can 'soak up' free radicals.

6. Masala Chai Tea or Bombay Chai-We often use the term chai to refer to the spiced tea that is common in India, Srilanka, called masala chai. Masala chai can be made in many variations, but is often black tea mixed with spices such as cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, anise, peppercorn, and ginger etc…

What Is Organic Tea??????

Organic produce is everywhere. We can buy organic vegetables, fruits, and even “organically raised” meat.

Organic beverages such as tea and coffee are also available and they are very popular. But how can you be sure the organic tea you buy is really organic?

Organic produce, tea included, is usually more expensive than non-organic brands. What’s to stop an unscrupulous tea vendor from falsely labeling his tea “organic” simply to get a better price?


What is Organic Tea?
Organic varieties are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers. The soil is enriched with natural compost and a layer of mulch retains the moisture while providing extra nutrients as it breaks down.

This growing method is more labor-intensive but produces superior quality tea. Tea competitions in Srilanka,India,China, Japan, and Taiwan have consistently chosen organic teas as the best teas of their class. In addition to the improved flavor, the organic varieties are also higher in health promoting polyphenols and catechins.


These are the antioxidants that provide many of the health benefits that tea is famous for. Scientific studies have shown that these compounds are found in higher concentrations in good quality tea.

Organic tea is also better for the tea farmer. Tea plants can live more than 100 years, and organic farming methods allow the tea plants to remain healthy for the duration of their lifespan.
This means that the farmer has less expense in replacing tea plants.

When You Buy Organic Tea… Is it Really Organic?????

When you pick up a package of tea that is labeled “organic” how can you be sure it’s the real Organic? For one thing, there are several governmental and non-government agencies that certify products as being organic.
Organizations like the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement (IFOAM) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),SKAL-INT Japanese Agricultural Standards(JAS)have certification programs that examine the growing practices of a particular tea plantation and issue certificates to those that meet their requirements.

Packaged organic brew is required to meet the standards of the certifying agency, so look for tea that has the label of a recognized agency.

Above all, however, you should rely on your taste buds to tell you whether a tea is really organic.
It should titillate the taste buds with complex flavors and subtle delights.
If it is not superb, it is probably not organic. You are paying a premium for this tea, so accept nothing short of the best
.
