With headlines trumpeting the retreat of sugary soft drinks from schools, many kids and parents are looking for alternatives. Souvia Tea has taken the message of teas great taste and health benefits to groups around the valley. More recently schools have asked for informal presentations on tea history, preparation, and health. "We call this Out-TEAch" says Kerstin Wingert co-founder of Souvia, "we take the facts and the tea directly to those who are interested. We can emphasize different facets of Tea; History for Social Studies, tea chemistry for Science classes, and Antioxidants, caffeine and other properties for tea for health classes."
Some facts you should know about tea and kids:
Loose Teas are high in antioxidants and the cup contains only the sugar or sweetener you add.
While all teas have caffeine, properly prepared they have less caffeine than coffee or caffeinated soft drinks
There are herbal products like Rooibos, that have no caffeine yet retain many of the beneficial tea properties and taste great
Flavors like Angel's Kiss, Vanilla and Blueberry Yoghurt appeal to the sweet tooth without delivering the calories, iced or hot
It is easy to prepare and transport tea Kerstin Wingert added "Kids of all ages are discovering the great taste of teas and are also learning more about the reported health benefits from regular tea drinking! With Loose Teas you start with a natural product and you know exactly what goes into your cup, sweetener and otherwise". Parents and adults are discovering this too. There is no charge to schools for the Out-TEAch sessions.
