TEA Q&A
Does drinking tea boost the immune system?It definitely does! We could all use some increased immunity during this flu season! Tea contains L-theanine, which helps support the immune system. (Please keep in mind that I am talking about real tea – black, green, or oolong – not herbal teas.) As with all other good habits, it is important to be consistent - you should drink at least 3-5 cups of tea a day to reap the full benefits. Along with boosting your immune system, you will also get the added benefits of antioxidants when drinking tea.
What do you think about electric kettles vs. the traditional stovetop kettles?Personally, I just love the sound of the whistling tea kettle, and it sits so pretty on the stovetop! However, I also have an electric pot by Zojirushi, which is much more technologically advanced. These electric pots have settings for different temperatures (for preparing a variety of teas), contain filters, and keep the water at the perfect temperature at all times. If you drink tea all day long or have to prepare tea for a large group or drink many different types of tea, I would suggest the electric pot. You can also use the readily available hot water for preparing other foods such as oatmeal, etc. Keep in mind that they are much more expensive than the traditional kettle – and still do not whistle!
What is yerba maté?There is much to be said about this unique drink, which is quickly gaining popularity in the US (even Smoothie King offers yerba maté smoothies!). Yerba Maté (pronounced yerba mahtay) it is an infusion that originated in South America, especially in Argentina. Yerba maté falls under the category of tisanes since it is not a true tea. It is from a plant called yerba maté from the holly family. It is a drink rich in caffeine. To prepare the drink, a gourd is filled with the maté leaves and then topped with cold or room temperature water. Boiling water is never used for the first infusion. After a short interval, a drinking pipe or straw known as the bombilla is pushed to the bottom of the gourd with the thumb, and the first, bitter infusion sucked up and spat out. The gourd is then filled with hot water and the mate is ready for drinking. Traditionally, the gourd is passed around to the guests. The maté leaves can be infused several times.
