No Time to Brew? Garden of Life(R) Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas Make It Easy to Enjoy the Benefits of Green Tea on the Go, Hot or Cold

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Oct. 2 /PRNewswire/ — Garden of Life, a longtime leader in whole food nutritional products, today announced the launch of Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas, a new line of single-serve tea concentrates in liquid packets that you pour right into your bottled water or hot water. From the pristine Wuyi Mountains of China, Living Foods Organic Teas are already brewed and come in three varieties — traditional green tea, lemon-flavored green tea, and coffee-flavored oolong tea.

This revolutionary new delivery system is perfect for people on-the-go who want the health benefits of polyphenols present in green tea in a more convenient package and with great taste. The easy to carry liquid packets can be mixed into either hot or cold water and instantly you can enjoy the health benefits of green tea.

Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas are brewed using a patented process that gently preserves all their flavor and natural antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols. These antioxidants are among the reasons a panel of leading nutrition, obesity and hydration experts recently ranked tea among the healthiest beverages people can consume, second only to water.(1) In the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the panel recommended drinking up to five cups a day in order to enjoy tea’s potential health benefits.

Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas can be enjoyed hot or cold with meals, included in a healthy snack break, or poured into your favorite bottle of water and sipped on the go. These flavorful teas can also be used to create tea-based beverages when mixed with water, fruit juice or syrup, natural sweeteners and your favorite spices or flavorings. You can find recipes and suggestions at http://www.gardenoflife.com/.

All three varieties of Living Foods(TM) Organic Teas are 100-percent vegetarian, non-GMO, dairy free — and of course, organic! Available at independent health food retailers and select specialty retailers, such as Vitamin Shoppe and Whole Foods.
