hello welcome to another episode in the life to point out shell today we have a special treat that we both love t and yeah i want to talk a little bit about our guest guest the sharon levy she's actually has a home show here on prince but he had heard and i met wow a while ago and i actually met her because i was interested in her becoming one of the vendors for a place i was managing typical brand name yeah you see it when i write i hold or i just want something other than coffee so she's been a person who was really expanded my world of tea and as a result i always have some type of her t that's ok yeah but so you know t v is so important especially in my life and but i wanted to first of all if you could introduce and how you got to this point and how you decided to go into teas and then you know then we'll go from there ok but before i start i just wanted to make sure that we start with tea because tea actually warms your heart apps that it opens your mind to new possibilities so i think this is personality for the day that i mean i think it's going to make you feel special i like but also it's very important to drink out of china in sort of a mug ok so what i tell people is the  feel that and i don't know if this is true this is that the fine bone china keep warm hotter than just the other it does whatever but there's also a trick in having it too warm growing up my mom would always have tea in the morning ok you know it's made her feel good right as well and she even before until she puts sometimes a lemon in hot water right rest that alone right but just drinking tea it just really suits your soul in the morning it's really important to just do that whole ritual so when i was laid off from my b m i decided you know what i love the whole tea experience and i said why not do this people i just thought that it's something fun to china factories and i says well i have to find a really crappy and and teapot because i've been told that i should not be drinking might and i have to make it a ritual right yes yeah make sure to tease the thirty ninth time i had a little tea kettle and then once you do i have to say once you put it in something pretty it just tastes better you don't want to rush right y so in my mind like i still carry on that tradition even if i just have to last night i thought about it and i thought i guess i do because it makes me feel like the warmth of my mom yeah that's really what you know it's about but think about for yourself whether it's in the morning and i like to start in the morning but even if it's at two o'clock when you're like a busy day it's just a great way to reflect yet wake up in the morning you caffeine i mean we have tea that has the campaign but it's not as much as corny but then again if you know whatever is your preference in the morning it's still a great thing for i do in the morning to just appreciate life appreciate every ryan writing out what your purpose what yeah yeah the time is for right so how how did you well miss how did you get into the to you wellness you know the wellness part of the whole well you know i again i saw that people were rushing all the time i know when i worked in corporate america it was rush rush rush was meeting after meeting so i thought you know what let me just teach people about the health benefits of tea implementing tea time and just knowing that it's really important for your health to slow down it's like  that they're doing tea in the little pods and you put that in and the more dies i mean it's not steep in the waters really just won't really quickly and i don't get the full flavor ok coral you really want to get the full flavor by steeping it in you know the hot water so first is the second thing is just finding the good quality tree now i know some people think oh because it's loose tea is better but not necessarily you know it really depends on how the teasmade just think of a car when it's going through the line if you right gotcha so you know you just have to kind of know the brand that you're working with if it's a good quality tea too but you sometimes you can open it up and you can see powdery yeah so that's not always the best quality ok to these really higher quality team and by the way teas are available and sharon's website which is w w dot taking tea in style dot com yeah amazing teas with a lot of variety but if they is now it looks huge but i know they have the little ones right and i don't recommend those little balls i recommend a bigger bore because one if it's too small the leaves do not get to expand  know this was actually one of them and give me the plate that it comes with it has a little round thing for the cup to be sitting in it yeah she gave me the saw that she gave me the finest china that i have i usually don't bring them out so  making people feel special all the time also yeah so what else what are we forgetting to ask you in regarding the well well the health benefits of tea there's so many wonderful benefits of t t help the lower your sugar so those folks that are diabetic i mean they probably want to check with the doctor you know times in medications about using but it does help to lower the sugar it helps to lower cholesterol it helps with it actually has a fluoride i don't know if you know that tea has flo tea pretty like the rose petals right get pretty or you know but something like lavender lavender is good for you in terms of the your rohmer this when you smell it it just makes you want to relax yes but you know a lot of these things might have some benefits as well o yes so you don't put your fingers through it you hold it like this and it's not pink is up a lot of people i always feel terrible when they see me they think is up and i'm like no it's really not pink is up so you just really holding like this and then you just you know you s so no no really great ice tea yeah oh yeah let me know if i am one of my favorites so what is the difference now how do you prepare if you want to do it as an iced tea and which not all teeth can be made in that's it for another day another show and othe
