Tazo Awake Tea - the Finest Blend that Fully Satisfies and Invigorates Your Senses

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Tazo Awake Tea is one of the most popular morning blends of Tazo Tea Company - the great flavor and pickup can be scent even if you are still in bed and your Honey is preparing your morning cup of aromatic Tazo tea in the kitchen.

Tazo Awake TeaIf you haven’t tried it yet, then you should get to know its exquisite full leaf blend of rich black tea. It is good for the heart due to the flavonoids it contains and is a powerful antioxidant that also reduces the risk of heart disease with 50 per cent. But that’s not all:

+ Awake has a great taste that you’d never forget and will always crave for, and a little extra caffeine to keep you going but not jittery all day long

+ Tazo Awake Tea keeps you sharp throughout the day - that is perfect for writers, editors and all other home/office computer users

+ It is the perfect alternative to coffee (that’s what happy users say) – my opinion is that although I would never completely replace my morning coffee, I would gladly replace my afternoon coffee with a cup of aromatic Tazo Awake Tea

+ Gives you a wonderfully bold flavor – didn’t I mentioned that already?

You can drink it any time of the day. You can even brew it, ice it and drink it like an ice tea later.

Where does Tazo Awake tea great blend come from?

Its blend contains only fine varietal teas from two very special places - Assam (Northeast India) and Dimbula (Ceylon). Assam teas are known for their dense and malty flavor, but it’s the combination with the bright, full-flavored Dimbula teas that creates this perfectly balanced breakfast.

Oolong tea active compound

oolong teaThe unique thing about the Oolong tea is that it contains a large quantity of polyphenol. And according to some recent researches it’s the polyphenol compound of oolong tea that generates its delicious flavor and promotes its weight loss, beauty and overall health properties.

Black and Green tea active compounds

If you remember green tea’s main compound is catechin. Black tea on the other hand contains ingredient called theaflavin, and as I already mentioned above oolong tea contains polyphenol. Some of you may be surprised to know that all these black, green, and oolong tea are made from the same leaf. That’s right, all these different kinds and flavors of teas are made from the leaf of the same tea plant that originates from China and belongs to the camellia family.

Tea production methods

If you wonder how’s that possible, I’ll tell you - it’s all about the production methods and particularly the fermentation process of leaves. Oolong tea is semi- fermented (leaves are left to ferment to a certain state), green tea is unfermented and black tea is full fermented (the leaves are left to ferment fully). (more…)
