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
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
More than 90 percent of American wine production occurs on the West Coast, but because the majority of consumers live east of the Mississippi, a large part of carbon-dioxide emissions associated with wine comes from simply trucking it from the vineyard to tables on the East Coast. A standard wine bottle holds 750 milliliters of wine and generates about 5.2 pounds of carbon-dioxide emissions when it travels from a vineyard in California to a store in New York. A 3-liter box generates about half the emissions per 750 milliliters. Switching to wine in a box for the 97 percent of wines that are made to be consumed within a year would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 2 million tons, or the equivalent of retiring 400,000cars. 6
Wine in a Box: Ditch the mindset, raise a glass Posted on August 18, 2008 by sarahmichellekuck For more than 30 years, people have been purchasing boxed wine. And for those 30 years, wine in a box has gotten a (for sometimes decent reasons) bad rap as lower-quality vino. But not all boxed wine lacks taste, and as the cost of shipping (in dollars and carbon) increases the box starts to look pretty practical for more than just economic reasons. To help move more wine with will less carbon, Italy?s Agriculture Ministry announced earlier this month that some wines that receive the government?s quality assurance label may now be sold in boxes. 4
Beyond its healthy benefits, TeaZen also puts the “fun” in “functionality” because it makes tea drinking something anyone can enjoy, no matter how busy their life may be. TeaZen comes in a brightly colored, 2 oz bottle and is small enough to fit in a purse or a briefcase, yet each bottle contains 60 servings. Toss TeaZen into your bag and enjoy the feel-good benefits of tea drinking, wherever you go. 7
