It was 1922. A time of flagpole sitting and dance marathons. In
other words, the Roaring Twenties. But in Pasadena,California,
the only roar to be heard was that of boiling water rushing into
a cup of herbal Alvita Teas.
You see, the Alvita Tea Company was brewed into existence in
Pasadena seventy-five years ago. We were a small company back
then, spreading the herbal Alvita Teas
gospel in an era when Americans were more interested in martinis
than mullein.
Today, a full three-quarters of a century later, we take pride
in the fact that we have played some small role in introducing
Americans to the richness and wonders of herbal Alvita Teas.
Millions of Americans have made herbal Alvita Teas a
part of their lives, turning to them for good taste, comfort and
relaxation.
Now, Alvita has introduced an entirely new line of Alvita Teas.
It's called Remeteas, a portfolio of ancient and modern blends
culled from the four corners of the tea-producing globe. Each
Remetea has a very specific mission- to help support our body
and soul, addressing the ills that afflict mankind and womankind.
One of nature's oldest legumes, Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is
known to be cultivated for over 2000 years. However, unlike most
legumes, where only the seed is consumed, the entire Alfalfa
plant (leaves, sprouts and seeds) is eaten by man. The Arabs,
centuries ago, used Alfalfa as feed for their horses and claimed
swift and strong. When they tried the herb themselves, they
became so convinced of its benefits
to their health and strength
that they named the grass Al-Fac-Facah , meaning Father of All
Foods . The Spanish later changed the name to Alfalfa. The roots
of the Alfalfa plant burrow deep into the earth to reach
minerals that are inaccessible to other plants. Alfalfa
naturally contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and enzymes.
small branched shrub found mainly in moors, humus rich- soil and
open woods from low-lands to mountains, Bilberry (vaccinium
myrtillus) bears small blue-black, many seeded berries. Also
commonly known as whortleberry, Bilberry has been a source of
fresh jam for hundreds of years. Extensively written about in
16th century herbals, this berry is native to northern Europe
and Asia; with its nearest American counterpart being the
huckleberry. During Word War II, Royal air force pilots swore
that eating Bilberry jam prior to night missions significantly
improved their visual acuity in the darkness.
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a tropical perennial that grows
from an aromatic, tuberous rhizome that is knotty shaped and
buff colored. The name Ginger is derived from the Sanskrit
gringa or horn and vera meaning body, in reference to the shape
of the root. Ginger has a recorded history of use in China
dating from the 4th century B.C. Used for hundreds of years as a
spice for cooking, Ginger is also used for it's soothing
properties. Ginger is available fresh, dried ground, and in
dried pieces. It can be added to beverages, fruits, salads,
meats, poultry, vegetables and is a favorite in stir-fry
cooking. Combined with onions and garlic, it adds an agreeable
warming flavor to any main entrée.
