Coffee Sippers Club

Greetings Coffee Lovers!

Just recently we introduced our new Tea Sippers Club that is set to begin next month. That got me thinking that we could and should do the same thing for our coffee lovers. Each month we will send our members one or two samples of new coffee flavors or varieties FREE and all we ask in return is that you give us your honest feedback. We will be interested in finding out what you did and did not like about the coffees and if we should bring them into our regular line. I have had a lot of fun sampling many, many coffees to bring to you all and now you can join in on the fun too! You can choose from regular or decaffeinated when you sign up for the club. If this sounds like fun and you would be interested in joining, send me an email at: sharon@sbsteas.com so I can send you some more information about our exciting new group!

This is a wonderful way to learn more about the vast world of coffee as well as find some new favorites! I hope to hear from you soon!

Happy Grinding

Africa's Miracle Rooibos Tea

Africa's Miracle Rooibos Tea

After attending the Tea Expo in Atlanta last month I came away with a greater appreciation for Rooibos tea. Actually, Rooibos tea is not a "tea" but rather a certified organic herbal infusion. It is grown in the Cedarberg Mountains in the North Western part of the Cape Province of South Africa. The word Rooibos literally means red bush. Rooibos is harvested by hand and then chopped by a machine. During the entire harvesting process, oxidation occurs, which results in the tea becoming a deep rich red rust color. Once the tea is dry it is collected, heat sterilized and sifted into different grades.

We, at SBS Teas, are marketing the certified organic Rooibos and Honeybush teas from the company Africa's Miracle. Their entire tea harvesting operation is pure and natural. It uses no colorants or preservatives. All of the Africa's Miracle Red Tea Blends are grown and packaged in the Republic of South Africa providing critical jobs. All plant workers are unionized and receive free medical care. The company is creating greater value across the board for all of their workers than any comparable Fair Trade product.

In the US they are continuing their work with the Artists For A New South Africa (http://www.ansafrica.org/) to bring awareness to the AIDS crisis and other critical issues in South Africa. Africa's Miracle is also helping to support rural pre-school projects in Africa.

Below is a partial listing of how Rooibos and Honeybush may have a positive impact on your health:

*Strong antioxidant action

*Naturally rich in minerals

*May help prevent some cancers

*Soothing--great for insomniacs and nursing mothers

*Great for tummy troubles

*Naturally caffeine free

*Low in tannins

As I mentioned before, I have become a Rooibos fan.

I encourage you to try these new products.
