One of the ways to de-stress is to drink a cup of tea and the ritual of brewing and sipping tea can serve as a form of self-care.
I was graced about 25 years ago when I first met Miriam Novalle, the creator of her own line of 284 teas from white, black, green, red and herbal.
Over the years we developed and close friendship and I have been drinking many of her teas. She has also served tea at several of my events and she can serve tea at yours.
Her tea line will be featured in the upcoming issue of CREATIONS MAGAZINE – the December/January issue found all over New York.
I am doing my best to raise awareness of not only tea and all its healing benefits, but Miriam’s special teas!!
Several of her and my favorites are listed below.
You can order them off her website – www.tSalon.com (http://www.tsalon.com/) or call her at 917 673 4904.
Love to you all, Jan
