H-Tea-O on Discovery Channel
The subject of tea, whether as a wonderful drink or as a healthy tonic, continues to fascinate the media. We recently had a TV crew in the shop filming a programme about tea in Hong Kong. They were particularly interested in our Tea Lattes and the novel way that we make them. The Iced Tea Latte in particular proved a big hit with the presenters. We will let you know when this is going to be shown on TV, most likely on Discovery Channel.

Tea Break Sparks a Security Alert
We all like a nice tea break to unwind but some people just won't let anything get in the way of their cuppa! A story to bring a smile to your face.

Anyone that's on a diet would love to find a painless or even pleasant way to help things along. Our new slimming iced tea with the slimming herb Garcinia Cambogia works a treat.

We have this on a special introductory price of $28 for a large 16oz cup.

What's In It?
Our iced slimming tea is fully organic and contains a fruity blend of green tea, hibiscus, Garcinia Cambogia extract and yerba mate. We add a splash of fresh grapefruit juice to give an extra healthy snap to this refreshing drink. So it tastes great as well as doing you good.

How Does It Work?

The theory behind Garcinia Cambogia is that it contains HCA which inhibits an enzyme called citrate lyase that helps turns excess carbohydrates into fat. By inhibiting this enzyme, it is believed the body instead boosts carbohydrate oxidation, or simply put, burns the extra carbs.

In extensive animal studies, Garcinia Cambogia was found to reduce food intake by suppressing appetite, as well as decrease body fat. Double-blind studies using Garcinia Cambogia and a placebo showed the HCA group as doubling or tripling weight loss over a 12-week period as compared to the control group. However one study showed a less promising result but specialists have blamed this on a high fibre diet taken at the same time as the Garcinia Cambogia.

We have also tried it and can confirm that it certainly helps in reducing weight.

Are There Any Risks?

Garcinia cambogia reportedly does not have any known adverse effects in healthy adults, but there are some people who are advised not to take it. According to experts, this includes children, pregnant and lactating women, those diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia disease. Diabetics could be affected by HCA's tendency to lower blood sugar.

How to Get Slimming

We now have the iced slimming tea on a special offer of $28 for a large glass /16oz cup. This comes fresh grapefruit juice and artificial sweetener and tastes really refreshing.

We also have the slimming tea available in tea bags. A box of 16 organic tea bags cost $76, but of course you will have to add your own grapefruit juice and sweetener.
