How To Make A Good Cup of Tea at Work

I get asked this often and my first suggestion is always, "Put the leaves directly into the cup and continue to add water as you go." But there are a lot of people out there who just don't want leaves in their drink, which is totally understandable.

The three easiest things to do are to use a Brew Mug, the Steeped Travel Mug or a small mesh ball infuser.
Brew-in-Mug comes in white or black

Of course at work, people would like to have the least amount of mess that they can manage and my best suggetion is the Brew Mug for that since it comes with a lid which can also double as your infuser holder. You don't have to worry about burning your fingers (if you're careful of course) and you won't leak anything onto your paper work either.

We also have our Steeped travel mug which is incredibly handy for those of you who spend a lot of time in the car travelling. It's made by Thermos and has our "Steeped" logo on it. No matter how hot the water is, the travel mug is always cool to the touch.

A small mesh ball infuser is my personal least favourite, but it does the job you are after in an efficient and mess free way. Since I like my tea fairly strong I tend to use the large mesh ball infuser (in a large 3 cup mug) so that I am able to throw in a few extra scoops of tea without the infuser exploding (yes, it will do that if you put too many tea leaves in since tea leaves expand in water). The most convenient ones for work are the ones that come with a small trinket on the end because it is quicker, easier and less mess than the ones without. You will also have to make sure you have something to rest your infuser on once it is done steeping -- a teabag holder, a small plate, an extra mug all do the job nicely.

Relaxation

Thanks to a very dear friend, my mind has opened further. Calista, you're an amazing person thank you so much for taking me to the Wisdom Tea Shop.

I want to share some new knowledge with those around me by hosting Relaxation Tea Tasting Parties. I will not be coming with my suitcase of tea accessories nor with loads of paper work. Just me, my tea & tea pots and a yoga mat.

We will focus only on relaxation and opening up our senses to truly enjoy the taste, aroma, warmth and health benefits of tea.

If you are interested in having me come into your home and share this experience, please contact me. Invite your friends and family, but make it as comfortable for YOU as you wish, even if it is just one-on-one.

I'm Too Young For This i[2]y Fundraiser


I'm Too Young For This Cancer Foundation  
I've come across an incredible cancer foundation in my journey at the cancer clinic in London (LRCP) that I think needs more support! It's called "I'm Too Young For This Cancer Foundation" and it is geared towards young adults diagnosed with cancer before the age of 40. For more details about "i[2]y" click here! or just go to i2y.com

What I'm trying to do right now is organize a fundraiser with the founder of i2y (find him on facebook here).

I will be selling the Steeped fundraising packages for $20 each and they include two 25g bags of loose leaf tea, one infuser ball, one scoop and one i[2]y "Stupid Cancer" bracelet. $5 of every sale will go directly to the i2y foundation.

Email jessicasmithbng@yahoo.ca to place an order
  The $20 packages of tea you can choose from are :

"Green Goodness" which includes Japanese Sencha Green Tea & Tart Granny Apple Green Tea, infuser, scoop, bracelet and a $5 donation to i[2]y

"Kiddy Iced Tea" which includes Berry Mania Fruit Tea & Berry Mania Fruit Tea, infuser, scoop, bracelet and a $5 donation to i[2]y

"Top Favourites" which includes Creme Carmello Rooibos and Earl Grey de la Creme black tea, infuser, scoop, bracelet and a $5 donation to i[2]y

I'm able to ship anywhere in Canada, but you'll have to ask me for details.


Our goal is to try and raise $1000 for i[2]y. Deadline for all orders is December 1st 2010!

They come in a gift bag and would make a fabulous Christmas present under the tree or as a stocking stuffer! Christmas ribbons included. It will all be shipped out December 15th 2010 so you will get them with plenty of time to spare.

Also, if you'd like a "Stupid Cancer" bracelet on its own and you are in London, let me know and you can get one for a suggested donation of $2 each and all proceeds go to the i[2]y Cancer Foundation.


Just email me at jessicasmithbng@yahoo.ca with how many you would like to order, your phone number and your mailing address including postal code.
