Lore of Iced Tea in America

Most people think of the Boston Harbor when recounting the history of tea in America , but what about the 1904 World's Fair? That hot summer in St. Louis is when classic black iced tea-like Numi's Citrus Black-gained widespread popularity. Prior to that, recipes for Iced Tea Punch (often generously spiked with alcohol) could be found in

Numi and Oothu

Recently Ahmed Rahim, founder/owner and master-blender at Numi, personally visited the Oothu Tea gardens nestled high in the Mountains of Southern India. Organic, Fair Trade and close to some of the oldest temples in the world Oothu is hidden amongst the jungle where wild animals and rare and exotic plants still exist.

		Lore of Iced Tea in America Most people think of the Boston Harbor when recounting the history of tea in America , but what about the 1904 World's Fair? That hot summer in St. Louis is when classic black iced tea-like Numi's Citrus Black-gained widespread popularity. Prior to that, recipes for Iced Tea Punch (often generously spiked with alcohol) could be found in

cookbooks going as far back as the early 1800's. It was no surprise when, during prohibition, the popularity of iced tea as a staple beverage became even more widespread. To quench your thirst for a full history of iced tea click here.

		Black Tea is good for you! The many health benefits of teas and herbs have been celebrated for centuries. Numi's Citrus Black is rich in minerals, vitamins, polyphenols, flavonoids, and anti-oxidants. Studies have shown that drinking Black tea stimulates the central nervous system and promotes blood circulation. It can also act as a diuretic to positively

effect kidney function and digestion. It cleans your teeth too! American Dental Institutions have found that drinking black tea can benefit oral health by interfering with bacteria that cause tooth decay, which also prevents bad breath. For more health benefits on tea, click here.

		Cooling Classic: Citrus Black Numi's new Citrus Black Iced Tea has cooled down many since it came on the scene this summer. With classic full flavor from fine Oothu Black Tea, this iced tea uses only real fruits and herbs without oils or flavorings. Organic and Fair Trade Certified, the black tea used in this blend is also grown on a farm that uses biodynamic

practices. This is the most ancient form of non-chemical agriculture which looks at farming holistically as it relates to the health of the entire earth. Farmers learn to read the subtle language of nature and use every resource in harmony to perfectly support the plant's life force. To learn more about biodynamic faming click here.

		Numi and Oothu Recently Ahmed Rahim, founder/owner and master-blender at Numi, personally visited the Oothu Tea gardens nestled high in the Mountains of Southern India. Organic, Fair Trade and close to some of the oldest temples in the world Oothu is hidden amongst the jungle where wild animals and rare and exotic plants still exist.

He had this to say: “The landscape and mountains are breathtaking, releasing a sense of calm and tranquility, and allow the perfect climate for the tea plants to thrive. With Organic and Biodynamic farming methods, each process along the way creates a sustainable future that has allowed Numi to share these teas with you. Enjoy the plentiful wonders and beauty of Oothu Tea.”

		Taj Mahal Tea-Shirt While in India, Ahmed also took a moment to visit the awe inspiring Taj Majal.
