Get your tea on, guys!

One thing is certain: tea drinking demographics are changing and changing quickly. The most rapidly growing groups? Young tea drinkers and male tea drinkers.

Best Life Magazine reported an experiment at University College London involving 75 men. Half of the participants received a caffeinated black tea drink, and the others received a caffeinated placebo drink. Drinkers of black tea experienced a reduction in circulating stress hormones of 47% (the control group reduction was 27%). You heard it here, guys! Reach for some black tea to soothe your stress -- the gals will appreciate it!

Live long and prosper, baby!

Body + Soul magazine reported on foods that contribute to bodily longevity, including berries, whole grains, green vegetables, tomatoes, nuts and red grapes. Not surprisingly, tea makes the list due to its EGCG content. EGCG is a powerful antioxidant, baby!

Love is all you need, baby!

As we close in on Valentine's Day, we want to send a message of love and gratitude to our customers, fellow tea-lovers and friends. Regardless of the difficulties and challenges around us, let's remember: love is all that matters, baby!

Gifts for the girls . . . be unique, baby!

Valentine's Day gifts don't have to be traditional, expensive -- or for that matter, unhealthy. Let's think outside the box to find unique gifts for the amazing women in our lives!

Of course, we suggest visually stunning, whole ingredient teas, designed with the modern woman in mind: Chai, Baby! Other unique ideas include movie passes, concert/theater tickets, or books by your gal's favorite author. For those of you with a bit of extra time on your hands, an iPod playlist, a album with memorable photos, or a homemade dinner are sure to please.

And, in our personal opinion . . . stay away from diet program memberships and kitchen appliances!

We love L.A., baby!

Great to see so many of you at the California Gift Show last week! We had a great time seeing old friends, meeting new people and, of course, talking tea!

And we're so proud to announce our Outstanding Exhibitor Award -- we're very, very honored. Take a look on Chai, Baby!'s Facebook Fan page for some pics.

We love L.A., baby!

Meet me in L.A., baby!

Chai, Baby! is off to L.A. to attend the 2010 California Gift Show, one of the largest gift industry events in the U.S. We're excited to introduce Chai, Baby! to new customers, boutiques, spas and retail stores on the West Coast.

Hope to see you there, baby!

Happy New Year, baby!

New Year means New Year resolutions. Of course, we hope that “drink more tea” is on your list. Chock-full of antioxidants, tea is wonderful way to incorporate more healthful foods – and habits – into your busy lifestyle.

And, really -- how many resolutions are as pleasant as curling up on a frosty day with a hot mug of guilt-free deliciousness? Who knew that healthy could be so pleasurable!

Here’s wishing you a happy, healthy new year, baby!
