Lifestyle: Drink Outside The Box

AMERICAN FORK, Utah — Twinlab TeaZen[TM] started as a combination of wanting to combine a delicious, good-for-you tea with fun and whimsy. “TeaZen makes drinking tea fun and inviting.” 1

But the sky isn?t falling. Wine in a box makes sense environmentally and economically. Indeed, vintners in the United States would be wise to embrace the trend that is slowly gaining acceptance worldwide. 2

Hollace’s creation, TeaZen, gives tea lovers a chance to “drink outside the box.” Each of the six formulas offers the antioxidant and feel-good benefits of organic white tea in six different flavors. You’ve never seen tea like this before. Instead of bags and boxes, TeaZen is a liquid tea concentrate that comes in bright, easy-to-carry glass bottles. It’s perfect for tea anytime - just add a dropperful of TeaZen to hot or cold water and enjoy. 3

Wine in a box has been around for more than 30 years - though with varying quality. The Australians were among the first to popularize it. And hardly a fridge in the south of France, especially this time of year, is complete without a box of ros�. Here in America, by contrast, boxed wine has had trouble escaping a down-market image. But now that wine producers are talking about reducing their carbon footprint - that is, the amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the transportation of wine - selling the beverage in alternative, lighter packaging instead of heavier glass seems like the right thing todo. 4

White tea is the least processed of all teas and is not subjected to the oxidation common with black teas. Because white tea is harvested from only the leaves and buds of the tea plant, it also has a higher concentration of EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals in your body. 5
