Sparkling Essences in Unexpected (and Delightful) Flavors

Sparkling Essence^TM from the R.W . Knudsen Family combines the subtle flavor of organic lemons, cooling mint, whole blueberries, and fresh cucumbers with the tingling sensation of sparkling spring water.  They use real organic ingredients, brew them in pure spring water, and then remove everything except the essence.  You can taste the result-- a light and refreshing flavor, but without any calories, added sugar, or artificial ingredients.

And the Cucumber is an unexpected delight. A very refreshing and very light taste that stands on its own but also makes an intriguing mixer instead of, say, seltzer or tonic water.

Teas for the Spirit and the Body (and taste buds)

How do you choose a tea to drink? On their website, Yogi Teas suggest you choose by either Mood, Flavor or Purpose. An interesting idea and you might want to take a look and see what you decide. There are more than 50 Yogi Teas, each one a discovery and sure to please.

But let’s concentrate on the Flavor and Taste. The Sweet Thai Delight Tea is just that—a delight of a tea with natural coconut and butterscotch flavors. The result is reminiscent of Chai Spice tea but then again different. Have it plain or add milk and perhaps sweetener to enhance the flavor. The Echinacea  Tea has organic Lemon flavor and natural Cinnamon, Cardamom and Ginger Oils for a balanced intriguing and refreshing drink. The Green Tea Goji Berry says that it is naturally invigorating and with Organic Cherry, Blueberry, Raspberry  Flavors, and Natural Lotus Flower Flavor your eyes will be opened.

Yogi Tea bags come individually wrapped with a tag that offers inspiring thoughts—for instance: “Strength does not lie in what you have. It lies in what you can give.” The Yogi Tea Collection takes tea beyond a simple beverage and into a way of living. There are  organic and herbal teas that are grounded in ancient wisdom and in a simple, natural way of living. Whether you want to jump start the day, be a part of  or recover from physical activity, calm the mind and clarify thoughts or revive the spirit and reflect on the world, there's a Yogi Tea to meet that need. And, each one tastes deliciously intriguing.
