Teas for a Cause
 October is breast cancer awareness month at here at SBS Teas we are pleased to offer a great selection of wonderful teas, coffees and accessories that represent the spirit of "pink" power. We will donate 10% of the price from all of the products in our Teas for cause section to the Susan G. Komen foundation in an effort to stop this deadly disease. I think we all know someone who has had or knows someone who has been touched by this horrible disease. It has touched our family more than once and is making it's way through more and more of our friends. I am constantly amazed at the strength and courage of these fine women. The struggle to stay strong fort their families and in many cases their small children has to be overwhelming and yet many are able to smile and carry on. The power of positive thinking is not to be underestimated. They refuse to let this disease have all of them. We can help make a difference in these women's lives as well as prevent others from ever having to fight this battle. Your support of these products helps fund research as well as prevention through mammograms and other tools. Please join us in this fight for our sisters, mothers and our daughters. http://www.sbsteas.com/Teas-for-a-Cause-c-394.html Labels: black tea, breast cancer, cause, coffee, drink, friends, friendship, makeminepink, memroies, Mom, october, pink, product, ribbon, tea, tea accessories, teas, white tea

Iowa Flood Relief Auction
Hello friends, I'm sure most of you have heard about the devastating flooding in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. As of June 16, damage estimates have exceeded ONE BILLION ($1,000,000,000) dollars. In a town of only 120,000 people, this is beyond catastrophic. Thousands of animals have been left homeless by the flood. The Cedar Rapids animal shelter has been completely destroyed. Many people had to abandon their pets when they evacuated their homes, and it is unclear when--if ever--they will be reunited. WE NEED YOUR HELP! The independent artisan community is coming together with an exciting auction to benefit the "Friends of the Animal Shelter" fund via the Kirkwood Foundation (tax ID 23-7076632), which is the fundraising division of the college currently serving as the evacuation center for abandoned animals. There are several hundred dogs, even more cats, and other companion animals being housed there, and many, many more animals are still stranded in the thousands of abandoned homes in Cedar Rapids. This auction will take place from June 25-July 2, and further details are available at http://www.iowafloodreliefauction.com/. In the meantime, you can support the Friends of the Animal Foundation for the Iowa City animal shelter (also affected by the flood) by donating at: http://www.networkforgood.org/pca/Badge.aspx?BadgeId=111927Please forward this message to your friends and join me in supporting the needs of the displaced animals in Iowa. Together, we can raise awareness and much-needed resources for a community currently in a state of despair. Thank you, SBS Teas Labels: beverage, black tea, dog, Family, friendship, gift, green tea, memories, pets, Rooibos, tea, white tea
What a Wonderful Year!
In April 2007 I followed my dreams and decided to jump feet first into becoming a tea business owner. I purchased SBS Teas from the former owner and it has been non stop since then!! I have always had a fascination with "all things tea." My grandmother and I used to have great elaborate tea parties with my dolls. I fell in love with the ceremony of having a proper tea. As I grew older I never outgrew my love of "all things tea." I especially love having the opportunity to travel around the world and participate in all different kinds of tea experiences--from very proper in London, England to very quaint in Williamsburg, Va. Every tea room has its own charm and character. I am getting ready to retire from a career in teaching after 30 years and wanted something to do to keep me busy and out of trouble when I have more time on my hands--enter the option of an on line tea business!! This seemed like the perfect thing for me. All the tea but no dirty dishes!!! As I celebrate the 1 year anniversary of SBS Teas, I want to thank all of our loyal customers who have stayed with us and to all of our many new customers who have found out how wonderful our teas and customer service are. MANY, MANY THANKS also to my lovely daughter Sharon for minding the store for me until I retire!!! We have both had some amazing experiences and met some wonderful people along the way. I can't wait to see what the next year has in store! Sincerely, Lady Babs Labels: beverage, celebrate, drink, Family, friendship, memories, tea
Time to Think Pink!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and SBS Teas is featuring a limited edition collection of teas called, "Teas for The Cause." This is a cause that is near and dear to all of us at SBS Teas because my mom Betty, died from breast cancer and my younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer too. I am sure there are also many of you out there who have been touched personally by breast cancer- yourself, a loved one, or a friend. Last year I had my own personal horror with this dreaded disease. I went for my yearly mammogram and was asked to wait in an area I had never been in before after the films were taken. The doctor came in and informed me that they had found some irregularities and that I would need to have a biopsy. I cannot adequately describe the horrible feeling- my stomach turned to knots and I just couldn't believe what he was saying! On January 19th I went to Duke University Hospital for my biopsy. I was an emotional wreck! I had never been so NOT in control of my emotions or my life. I was scared to death about what might be happening to me and my family. The entire procedure took about two hours and those were the longest two hours of my life!!! My whole life sped before my eyes and I was alone with all my thoughts and fears. The doctors came back back to the room and pronounced that it was NOT cancer!! I wanted to jump for joy but I am too old for that and I probably would have fallen on my tush! I felt a tremendous surge of relief and was able to go home and get on with my life. There are many others who have not been as lucky as I was. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them and their families and friends. We will be donating 10% of all "Teas for The Cause" tea sales and pink accessories during the month of October to the Susan B. Koman Foundation to help in the search for a cause and cure for this devastating disease. Please check out our "Teas for The Cause" tea collection and join us in the fight against breast cancer. All of us at SBS Teas thank you. http://sbsteas.com/Teas-for-a-Cause-c-394.htmlLabels: black tea, breast cancer, cause, friendship, green tea, pink, ribbon, roses, Susan B. Koman, tea accessories
