<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Our master blenders have skillfully combined one hundred % caffeine-free herbs and natural tea flavors in order to create a tasty, black tea taste that you won’t come across anywhere else. Why? Decaffeinated teas all begin as regular tea, selected from regular tea plant which usually is made up of caffeine. These types of teas are then processed in order to remove their level of caffeine. But in the course of this method, tea flavor can be washed away along with the caffeine, leaving you together with a less than satisfying cup of tea. But not with Celestial Seasonings Caffeine-Free Tea due to the fact that our tea isn’t processed as it is actually all natural. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">We have carefully selected and also blended thoroughly the best herbs coming from all-around the world to be able to give you the actual delicious, full-bodied, black tea taste you need and only Celestial Seasonings could create. Whether it is thirst-quenching iced tea refreshment or relaxing hot tea relaxation, discover about the one hundred percent organic health benefits of Celestial Seasonings Caffeine-Free Tea. This is actually an all-natural product that contains absolutely no synthetic colorings, flavorings, or even preservatives. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">This is actually a great natural tea for those who used to drink regular black Lipton type tea, but do not want the caffeine. Decaffeinated teas still keep a small quantity, as well as some decaffeinating methods make use of chemicals.</span></p>

<p>A relaxing herb tea combination involving peppermint and also spearmint. No level of caffeine. All natural. Special fresh-pack locks in flavor. For about three generations the Bigelow household has specialized when it comes to creating a variety of wonderfully diverse teas and herb teas. Our individually overwrapped tea bags ensure that the last cup of tea you have from this box is just as tasty as the first. Each tea bag is actually separately sealed within a foil packet. Blended thoroughly and also packaged in the U.S.A.</p>
<p>Among the many teas and organic infusions which are presented by Bigelow is Mint Medley, which is actually a mix of peppermint, spearmint, rose hips, lemon peel, and hibiscus. The outcome is smoothly minty, without getting extremely pepperminty. Overall, I found this to be a very good hot tea, its mintiness actually striking the spot on cold winter days. Nevertheless, it likewise makes a great, extremely relaxing iced tea.</p>
<p>Besides its value as a great drink – it additionally has value for ailments. It is good for severe headaches coming from sinus congestion or even severe headaches coming from high blood pressure. It just tends to make you feel better after consuming a few cups of it. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.herbalteabenefits.com/buy.php?id=33" target="_blank">more info</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered about the origins of that tea that you are sipping? Have you ever wondered how it is grown and processed? Have you ever though about the different kinds of tea? Well, avid tea drinkers will certainly ask this questions especially those who made tea drinker a regular part of their day. Tea is indeed the better alternative to coffee. One is due to the fact that it has more healht benefits and two is that it contains only the right amount of caffeine that will keep you stimulated and awake through out the day. Tea has been around for thousands of years but the people in the west have just discovered it just recently. But how is tea made? Well that is the question the tea story is aiming to answer.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.herbalteabenefits.com/category/tea-story/">tea story</a> is actually the story of the origins of tea. However, since there are different types of type it is safe to say the their origins may differ. Tea in general do come from one plant an that is the tea shrub. Green tea, white tea, black tea are simply types of tea, the term is usually  based on the color that is produced once the tea leaves are immersed in hot water. The tea story also includes tales on how tea was traditionally brewed which is unlike the present wherein tea leaves are already placed in tea bags and are ready to drink. The tea story also mentions that the tea originally came from China.</p>
<p>The famous Lipton Tea Company also has its own <a href="http://www.herbalteabenefits.com/">tea story</a> to tell. Believe it or not the Lipton Tea Company was originally a convenience store. It only began selling tea when the owner bought five tea plantations. When the product was first introduced it was warmly welcomed by the people and they become fond of it since then the Lipton Tea</p>
<p>Company has never stopped making tea. Up to the present the Lipton Tea is a household name and people believed that there is no better tea than Lipton Tea. The tea story of this company is rather simple and humble. In fact it is even safe to say that the the intial plan of the owner didn’t include producing tea not until he was able to buy those plantations. Whatever his plan was he surely gave the world the healthiest drink one can ever drink.</p>
<p>Each tea company have its own <a href="http://www.herbalteabenefits.com/">tea story</a>. The Lipton Tea Company is just one of the many tea companies that produce tea. However, hearing a tea story can certainly help us gain a better understanding on how and where the tea we are sipping came from. In addition to that the tea story can also help us appreciate more the benefits we can get from drinking tea everyday.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">One of the most effective remedy for shock is by getting a person to drink a cup of hot, sweetened green tea.<span> </span>Drinking green tea helps the victim to regain some sense of balance. The shock victim must be fully conscious before given the drink. Despite what you see in the movies, it is not advisable to give liquids to an unconscious person.<span> </span>Swallowing is mostly a voluntary reflex, so an unconscious person made to drink will most probably choke. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>Recognizing Shock</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The word shock has many meanings in medical language. When a person goes through a traumatic event, his or her body goes into a mild shock although they still remain awake.<span> </span>A severe shock can cause unconsciousness or even seizures. Seizures are caused by the<span> </span>plummeting of the body’s core temperature, and could set a person’s teeth to chattering even on a sunny day. People who are in shock either act half-crazed with shaking and screaming, babble incoherently, or stare catatonically at nothing in particular. Drinking green tea that is sweetened works best for this last example of the manifestations of shock.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Most people experience mild shock when they witness a traumatic event such as seeing their home burn to the ground or witness a heinous crime being committed. They can also go into shock after suffering a natural disaster or even in grief.<span> </span>Some people go into shock when they get sudden unexpected bad news such as discovering their home has been vandalized or finding out that their marriage partner ran off with someone else.<span> </span>Drinking green tea that is sweetened can help a person recover from these instances too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">What Kind?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">It doesn’t really matter what kind of hot, sweet tea you make for these instances but green tea is preferred. If the person you are making the drink for usually takes one spoonful of sugar in their tea, make it two.<span> </span>Hot, sweet tea also works with other tea types such as black tea or herbal tea. Hot, sweet tea will help provide warmth for the person and help replenish depleted energy reserves. Drinking green tea that is sweetened and hot will also give the person something familiar to do, and thus is comforting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The comforts offered by a mug of a hot drink is familiar to just about everyone on the planet. Each one of us has been drinking hot beverages since childhood. Over time, the repetitive actions of drinking a good hot beverage has become synonymous with feelings of safety and relaxation.<span> </span>That is how hot, sweet tea works its magic.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Drinking green tea that is hot and sweetened works better than cocoa or coffee as a remedy for shock because it is not dehydrating like the latter two. Dehydration causes disorientation and this is one of the last things a person suffering from mild shock needs.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>I</strong>f they are giving out awards for the person who loves <em>iced tea</em> the most, they would probably choose my mother. An image of my mother doesn’t seem complete if she is not holding a tall glass of one of her favored iced tea recipes in one or even both of her hands.<span> </span>The tea glass becomes her scepter.<span> </span>She holds it very elegantly and takes dainty, little sips.<span> </span>Whenever I go home, watching my mother drink her iced tea is the one thing that makes me feel that I am home indeed.<span> </span>And my Mom isn’t the only one who favors iced tea recipes – you probably know of one or several others.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">An American Favorite</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Iced tea recipes began appearing in American cookbooks in the late 1860s. These cookbooks however, were not widely distributed. Iced tea became an official hit when it was served during the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis. It has grown in popularity ever since, especially with the advent of developments in refrigeration. Iced tea recipes have become especially popular as a summertime drink.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The popularity of iced tea recipes in the States never caught on in other countries. English and Irish children are generally raised on hot tea, so the taste of watered down cold tea may be unappealing for them. The United States and some parts of South America are really the only countries that have actively embraced iced tea recipes as part of their daily lives.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">To make iced tea, you make a pot of regular tea, add a sweetener (this being the optional scenario), mix it in a pitcher and fill with cold water.<span> </span>The usual ratio of tea to cold water is about one to three.<span> </span>Since served over ice, iced tea does not give you the full flavor of cooled off hot tea.<span> </span>While some may say that iced tea recipes  create only tea-favored water, it is<span> </span>however, incredibly refreshing.<span> </span>Lots of people who favor iced tea recipes like my mother like to add fresh slices of lemon or lime in their tea.<span> </span>Still others like to add a fresh sprig of mint as well.<span> </span>While some cold tea drinkers may prefer it, most people who love iced tea never put any milk in it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Iced tea powders are quite inferior to the taste of the real thing, although they are easier to find in supermarkets. The disadvantage of powdered tea mixtures is that you have no control over the amount of sweetener, and the artificial flavorings or preservatives added into it.<span> </span>But if you love Kool-Aid, however, you will most likely enjoy instant tea mixes.<span> </span>A real iced tea gourmand like my mother would never drink instant tea, but always cooled off real tea mixed with water.<span> </span>If you try to fool them with instant iced tea recipes, you will never succeed. They always know the difference.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Making sun tea is an iced tea recipe that is easy to do. But if you want to make the best out of your sun tea, there are some things you can do to achieve this. You will need to have some patience and a few supplies.<span> </span>Although this ice tea recipe requires the least amount of effort on your part, making tea with solar power takes a lot longer than other methods of making iced tea.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Choosing Your Type of Tea</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Some people may prefer making their sun tea with regular black tea bags, but other people find the result a bit on the weak side.<span> </span>If you prefer strong hot black tea, then you the taste of this iced tea recipe will not appeal to you. The advantage of sun tea is that you can use any kind of tea bags , and even a blend of two or more kinds of tea bags for your sun tea.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Instead of the usual black tea, this writer recommends using green tea.<span> </span>You could also combine different tea bags as part green tea, and part herbal tea, perhaps with a fruity flavor.<span> </span>Green tea needs less time to brew than black tea and tastes better if the water is hot but not at its boiling point.<span> </span>The sun will heat up the water with the tea quite well, but will not boil it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Choosing Your Container</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">There are many containers you can use for this iced tea recipe.<span> </span>But it is very important that your containers should have lids.<span> </span>If your container does not have a lid, chances are that insects will be attracted to the liquid’s color and unintentionally drown in it. Your<span> </span>iced tea container needs to be have at least a half gallon capacity in order to make a few glasses of iced tea.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Some people can may be able to detect when your iced tea recipe is made in a plastic container or in a glass one.<span> </span>The difference is quite subtle but some people may be sensitive to this.<span> </span>This employs the same logic as when you’re comparing the taste of bottled soft drinks that have previously been packaged in glass containers. There is a difference that can be detected in those that come in plastic bottles. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">For best results for this iced tea recipe, simply use one regular sized tea bag per cup of water in the container, fill with cold water and set in a spot that gets the most sun during the day.<span> </span>In the evening, place the container in the refrigerator to chill overnight. For a refreshing finish, serve over ice.</span></p>
