Orteava: Originalitea, Tastea, Dignitea

It’s just a little over a month into the new year – how are your I’m-going-to-be-healthy-in-2013 plans holding up? As unfortunate as it is, it’s extremely easy to slouch at home and convinced oneself that food is the true love of one’s life. The treadmill or stairs will be, well, what treadmill and what stairs? Self-denial is surely the first step to healthy living. Luckily, for those of you out there, there is still hope (and, no,  it doesn’t involve the obviously effective infomercial products).

Orteava is a Junior Achievement Company that sells tea. What makes their product so special?

• Caffeine-free: Though to many people, this may seem like a drawback. What could be better than a cup of freshly brewed coffee on a chaotic Monday morning? However, it is important to keep in mind that  caffeine suppresses the anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) in our body, and hence increases water loss. Better to lay off the caffeine. With Orteava, though, you can still enjoy a nice, warm cup of beverage to combat that blizzard on the way to work/school.
• Natural & healthy ingredients: Their tea is an infusion of natural herbs, Jasmine, Green Tea, and Earl Grey tea leaves, and brown rice. These healthy ingredients contain the  iron, vitamin B, and various antioxidants you need to stay healthy.
• No preservatives: This speaks for itself. Instead of buying tea in-store (and having been in-store for who knows how long), why not choose the healthier option that is still non-perishable?
• Reusable teabags: Their tea bags could be reused for up to five times. Your beverage for the day is taken care of.
• Quotes: This is my personal favorite. Each teabag displays a different quote on the paper label. Great for cheering one up on a bad day.
• Tastes great with honey: If you’re looking to spice things up – or rather, sweeten things up – honey is a great addition to your beverage, minus the bad side effects of refined sugar.
• 25% profit toward charity: 12 teabags of Orteava tea are sold for $10. 25% of this profit goes toward the Canadian Cancer Society; not only can you prevent health issues of your own, you can help others with your purchase.

The company is selling their product at South Centre Mall on February 16, 2013, so don’t miss out on this great chance to finally complete your new years resolution!
