Tea and such

It’s getting warm here in Portland the last few days, but are still devoted to tea. Why?

Well, for one thing iced tea is just as good as it’s hot sibling. Our Adagio Anteadote bottled tea is organic, unsweetened, and not made from powder or liquid concentrates. It is just tea – pure water infused with fresh tea leaves. Anteadote is bottled using a system that extracts the oxygen from each bottle, preventing oxidation – the cause of food spoilage. With oxygen gone, so is the need to laden the product with artificial additives or preservatives, common ingredients in most teas on the market today. Because of all this, the US Tea Association awarded Anteadote First Place in a recent comparison of unsweetened teas.

And whether your tea is hot or cold, it is darn tootin’ good for you. It has been suggested to help with aging, memory, allergies, arthritis, immune system, cholesterol, skin, diabetes, liver, and obesity.
