Ring in the Holidays with Gifts from Sir Jason Winters

 We’ve reached the time of the year that everyone refers to as the “gift-giving season.” What could be better than giving friends and loved ones the gift of good health? Here at Sir Jason Winters International, we’re sure that we’ve got the perfect gift to match nearly everyone on your holiday gift list!

Picking the Perfect Gift for Your Favorite Tea Lover

Having a hot drink to warm up with during the cold months of winter is something almost everyone enjoys. For thousands of years, tea has endured as one of the best, most healthful ways to help warm the heart and the body. Here are some suggestions for using tea in gifting.

  • When giving the gift of tea, try to determine whether the recipient prefers loose tea or the convenience of tea bags. If you are unsure, why not give them loose tea along with a package of empty tea bags like our T-Sacs for them to fill as they wish?
  • Along with any boxes or canisters of tea you select, consider adding a combination of tea accessories like an antique teacup and saucer or a tea mug with an inspirational slogan. For serious tea commissures, you can hardly go wrong with a tea infuser, tea strainer, a lemon squeezer, and a couple of tea towels tucked around a jar of local raw honey. 
  • If they have all of those things already, maybe a brand new French press or a unique teapot in a gift box or basket will be just the perfect thing that will make them think of you each time they sit down to enjoy a cup of tea!

Our Teas

Sir Jason Winters first formulated our loose leaf, five-ounce Classic Blend Tea, over 40 years ago in 1977. This tea is available in either Sir Jason Winters Classic Blend with Sage or Sir Jason Winters Classic Blend with Chaparral. As with any loose tea, it is prepared using a tea infuser or T-sac for steeping the tea to the desired strength. Both teas are caffeine free and contain Red Clover, Gotu Kola, and our Herbalene ® blend of Special Spice along with either Sage or Chaparral.

For those who prefer the convenience of pre-bagged tea, we also offer our Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Sage or Chaparral with Oolong tea added. Each comes in a box of 20-pre-packaged tea bags.  

If your favorite tea drinker loves the taste of flavored teas, we’ve got something they are sure to love. Sir Jason Winters Raspberry Pre-Brewed Tea, available in either a 4-ounce canister or our Raspberry Flavored tea in a box of 30 convenient tea bags.

For those who love the taste of summer that only a peach-flavored tea can offer, we are proud to offer our Sir Jason Winters Peach Flavored Tea Bags in a 30 count box. 

Don’t worry; we haven’t left green tea lovers on your list out of the picture. Sir Jason Winters Prebrewed Green Herbal Tea or GHT contains our proprietary blend of Red Clover, Indian Sage Leaf, Green Tea Leaves, and Herbalene. It’s available in either a 4-ounce canister or in a box of 30 tea bags.

Supplements They’ll Use Throughout the Year

Good health begins with the foods we eat. However, during cold and flu season and because of the fast pace of our daily lives, sometimes it isn’t easy to get the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients we need. 

Almost everyone has someone on their gift list, which has become more health-conscious today than ever. Sir Jason Winters International offers a complete line of the highest quality supplements available. We have blends for maintaining heart health, boosting their overall immunity during cold and flu season, as well as daily multivitamin regimes, 

Earlier this year, we added our Sir Jason Winters Gummy Vitamins for adults and kids. To further help our customers boost their immune systems, we are also proud to introduce Sir Jason Winters Elderberry Gummy Vites. Just two gummies a day contain 100 mg of black elderberry along with Vitamin C and Zinc citrate to help boost the body’s immune system. 

Extended Holiday Savings

At the beginning of the holiday season, during the month of November, we offered our customers over 30% off of our 5-ounce canisters of Sir Jason Winters Sage and Chaparral Tea. Because of popular demand, we have extended that offer through December. 

Each canister is regularly priced at $29.95 – but for the holidays they are on sale for just $19.95! The best part of this offer is that there’s no coupon required and there are no quantity limits.

We hope that this list has given you some ideas for gift-giving this season. On behalf of all of us here at Sir Jason Winters, may you and yours come to know the joy of the season.

Trying Sir Jason Winters Teas for the First Time

While we are more than a little partial to the goodness of our Sir Jason Winters Teas, we realize that not everyone has experienced it for themselves. Our founder, Sir Jason Winters, used the power of herbs to create our Original Blend and Classic Blend Teas. 

If you have never tried Sir Jason Winters’ teas, here is a rundown on each, along with information and tips about how to get the most out of your cup of Sir Jason Winters tea!

Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Sage – This tea was formulated by Sir Jason himself with the powerful all-natural ingredients of Red Clover, Indian Sage and our exclusive Herbalene Blend. 

Each herb interacts and supports the other to create a delicious tasting cup of tea. If you are a true tea connoisseur and prefer loose tea, this blend it available in a 5 oz container. We’re sure that once you try it, you will love it! 

To brew the loose version of this tea, use two teaspoons of the tea to one pint of boiling water. Allow to steep for 15 minutes, then sweeten to taste. You can drink a cup before and during each meal. 

If you’re in a hurry, but really love the unequaled quality of loose tea, we also offer our Sir Jason Winters Pre-Brewed Tea Original. Just steep it for one to two minutes and enjoy!

For those tea lovers who like the convenience of having a pre-bagged tea, we are proud to offer our Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Sage in a box of 20 pre-packaged tea bags. Each tea bag makes up to three cups of tea. 

A good serving suggestion of Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Chaparral to drink each day would be two or three cups. This tea is excellent each morning before breakfast or in the late morning before lunch or before bed are ideal times to enjoy this classic tea blend.

Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Chapparal – Sir Jason Winters learned from Native Americans about the chaparral plant. Indigenous Peoples of the desert in the Southwest had used what they believed were healing properties of chaparral (Larrea tridentata) for millennia for many conditions, as well as to potentially ward off or recover from colds and flu.

On its own, this herb can be bitter. However, Sir Jason formulated this tea to taste great and take full advantage of the wonderful properties of chaparral and still deliver all the delicious taste of our tea. Like our Classic Tea with Sage, Sir Jason Winters Original Tea with Chaparral is available as a loose tea in a 5 oz canister. 

To make this delicious tea in its loose-leaf form, use two teaspoons of the tea to one pint of boiling water. Allow to steep for 15 minutes. Sweeten to taste if you wish with stevia, raw honey, or your favorite natural sweetener. This loose tea makes a delicious sun tea during the summer months, too! 

This tea is also available in tea-bag form in a box of 20 to go with you anywhere and enjoy. The tea bag only needs 1 -2 minutes of steeping time in an 8-ounce cup of boiling water. Each tea bag can yield up to three cups of tea. 

Sir Jason Winters Green Herbal Tea

Because the potential health benefits of green tea are well known around the world, the market can seem flooded with different brands of green tea. Sir Jason Winters himself wanted to ensure only the finest bend of Chao Phraya Tea was used for his products. 

Our Green Herbal Tea, or G.H.T., is available in a box of 20 convenient tea bags or as a Pre-Brewed Asian Green Tea in a 4-ounce canister. Both forms of this tea give you the highest tea quality available and a quick steeping time, so you don’t have to wait too long to enjoy our tea.

Sir Jason Winters Flavored Teas

If you love the sweet taste of fruit in your tea, Sir Jason Winters offers teas with natural Raspberry and Peach flavors. With our 4-ounce canister of Pre-Brewed Raspberry Tea, you get all the benefits of our Classic Herbal tea with the delicious goodness of Raspberry. Or if you love the portability of tea bags, we also carry Raspberry Flavored Tea Bags or our Raspberry Flavored Tea with Stevia in 30 count tea-bag boxes.

If the sunny warm taste of peach is more to your liking, we have just what you’re looking for in our Pre-Brewed Peach Tea in a loose form inside of a 4-ounce canister. Being pre-brewed, this tea also only takes a minute or two to steep. Then sit back, relax and enjoy. 

As with our Raspberry flavored tea, our peach tea is also available in 30-count boxes of either Peach Flavored Tea Bags or Peach Flavored Tea Bags with Stevia. All three of our flavored teas feature Sir Red Clover, Indian Sage, Oolong Tea, and our special spice, Herbalene®.

Still unsure which Sir Jason Winters Tea in bag form to try first? We’ve got the perfect solution for that! With our 4-Tea Variety Pack, you can choose any combination of our Green, Raspberry, Raspberry Tea with Stevia, Peach, or Peach Tea with Stevia. You get four boxes of tea – that’s 120 tea bags at a great price. 

For millennia, human beings have used the power of herbs in an attempt to maintain and improve good health. We are sure that once you try our Sir Jason Winters teas, you will be impressed with the freshness, quality, and great taste of our tea. See how you feel once you make our teas a habit in your daily routine.

Winter is Coming! Prepare to Keep Yourself Healthy

Along with the turning of the leaves and the changing of the seasons comes the increased everyday stresses on our immune system. As the days get shorter and colder and we spend more of our time indoors, the chance of catching a seasonal cold or flu increases.

Here are some ways to prepare yourself and your loved ones for the season ahead and potentially stay healthier, too!

Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids

No matter what time of the year it is, one of the best things we can do for ourselves is ensure we get plenty of fluids. Doctors and researchers have found that because our bodies are 70 -75 percent water and typically our bodies lose 10 cups of water per day on average, so staying hydrated is essential. 

By making water or tea our main drinks, we are helping our body regulate our body temperature, transport and process nutrients from the foods we eat, and eliminate waste and detoxify our livers and kidneys. It’s best to rehydrate throughout the day and increase your fluid intake based on exercise and even stress levels.

Take time to de-stress

Studies have found that our bodies are much more susceptible to illness when we are under stress. The first part of winter coincides directly with the holidays, so it’s easy to let stress get the best of us. Try to take at least some time every day to take a step back and de-stress. 

Why not ease tension with a cup of tea in your day? Many cultures across the globe have found that preparing and drinking tea can be both meditative and relaxing. Taking time each day for a cup of tea, whether green, black or herbal, can help you get ready for cold and flu season. 

Get your annual flu shot

One of the best ways to prevent getting sick with the flu is to get your annual flu vaccination. It may seem like a bother because there are different flu strains every year; however, getting that vaccine each year in the fall can significantly lessen the chance of getting sick. 

This is especially important for those who have compromised immune systems and older people. Of course, even if you get the shot, there is always a chance that you can catch the flu if you are around someone else who has it. However, the severity of the flu will be lower.

If you do begin to feel under the weather, you can combat the flu with a cup of green tea. Green tea is loaded with antioxidants, and holding that warm cup between your hands and enjoying it can be quite soothing. It’ll also help you start to feel better.

Make regular hand washing a habit

One thing that the Covid-19 pandemic taught us was the importance of thoroughly washing our hands throughout the day and avoiding touching our faces and eyes. Washing our hands with soap and warm water for a minimum of 20 seconds can eliminate the germs and bacteria that can cause the spread of illness. 

For those times when we are on the go or unable to wash our hands, having a bottle of hand sanitizer handy is especially important. Having a container of sanitary wipes in your purse or in your vehicle is also a good idea. 

Maintain healthy eating habits

During the summer months, it’s easy to have readily accessible food fresh from the garden for granted. Even for those who preserve or can extra vegetables and fruit from their own garden, it’s easy to become reliant on foods that are easy to fix but far less nutritious. To stay healthy all winter long, try to maintain a good healthy diet with plenty of fresh vegetables, fruits, and quality meat, fish, or poultry. 

Take only high-quality multivitamins and supplements

Even when attempting to maintain just the right amount of good food in our diets, parts of our daily meals will fall short. That is where taking a daily multivitamin, minerals, and other supplements can help. Our Sir Jason Winters Multivitamin and Mineral Formula and our Sir Jason Winters Gummy Vitamins are food-based. They are specifically formulated to pick up where your daily diet may leave off. 

Another supplement that you can take to help maintain your wintertime health and potentially protect your skin from the inside is krill oil. This oil is an excellent source of Omega-3s that can aid our digestion, reduce heartburn, and act as a kind of moisturizer to protect our skin and even our eyes from the ravages of cold weather and being inside with dry air. Researchers have also found that krill oil may also potentially reduce depression anxiety and improve overall cognitive function.

Get plenty of rest

Whether you are a day person or a bit of a night owl, it’s essential to get adequate sleep, especially during the colder months. Researchers with the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) recently found that 7-8 hours of sleep per night were ideal. Of the 2,000 participants, age 54-93, getting just six hours of sleep per night or less were more likely to be susceptible to illness, have higher incidences of hypertension, and were more likely to have cardiovascular issues later in life.

Sleep is essential for the cells in our body to fight off illness. When the body is sleep-deprived, that first line of defense is not as strong. It is interesting to note that the research team found several study participants were considered sleep deprived because they use technology late at night, such as scrolling on their mobile devices. Health experts advise that the best way to avoid the temptation completely is to keep the smartphone out of the bedroom.

Spruce Up Your Thanksgiving Feast with Sir Jason Winters’ Teas!

It seems as if we were barely past Halloween, and now we are preparing to gather friends and family in celebration of Thanksgiving.

A dilemma for many holiday cooks during this busy time is what to prepare. Should you go for the traditional meal of turkey, stuffing, and all the fixings? Or are there other things that might make this year’s Thanksgiving dinner a bit different from in years past? 

Besides some of the suggestions of cooking with tea that we’ve explored here on our blog in the past, we’ve gathered some new recipes to try that can turn your Thanksgiving into something extraordinary!

Tea Adds Dimension

Whether you choose to cook with loose or bagged green, black, or herbal teas, each can add a unique dimension of flavor to any dish. 

  • Infusions: For recipes that call for marinades, brining, steaming, or poaching, you can substitute some or all of the water called for in a recipe with tea. 
  • Rubs: Meat rubs can be a fantastic way to tenderize whatever type of meat you are serving. Use an herb grinder or mortar and pestle to grind your favorite tea into a fine powder. Then rub into the meat that you will be cooking. Tea is a natural meat tenderizer because of the tannins contained within the tea leaves. Even dry tea can help make meat tender and juicy.

Classic Turkey 

The classic dish for many Thanksgiving tables is that of turkey. When brined properly, this taste of home can’t be beat.   

If you’ve never done it before, brining it will help make your turkey moist and delicious. The following is a recipe for a 10-to-12-pound bird. The turkey should be thawed and allowed to sit in the brine in the refrigerator for 17 -24 hours. 

¾ cup of salt

1 ½ gallons of water

1/3 cup brown sugar

6 cloves of garlic 

1 Tbsp. black peppercorns

4 or 5 Bags of Sir Jason Winters’ Classic Herbal Blend Tea with Sage, or if you prefer loose tea, use  2 tablespoons of loose Sir Jason Winters’ Classic Blend Herbal Tea with Sage in a muslin tea bag.

Combine the ingredients and bring to a boil for 2 – 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the salt is completely dissolved. Remove the pot with the brine from the heat and allow the mixture to cool.

Place the turkey into a large stockpot or container. Pour the cooled brine over the turkey until it is completely covered. If you do not have enough of the brine, add cold water. Place in the refrigerator and allow the bird to soak in the brine for 17-24 hours.

Remove the turkey from the brine to remove the excess salt. Place in a large baking pan and allow the bird to sit for 1 hour to dry. The drying step will help give make the skin of the turkey crisp and golden brown. 

Brush the outside of the bird with melted unsalted butter. Bake in an oven preheated to 425° F for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350° F and continue to bake for 2-3 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted into the turkey’s breast reads 170° F.  

Remove from the oven and let rest 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.

Tea Rubbed Bison or Salmon

If you do not feel like going with a turkey this year, why not try a different main course, brought to us, courtesy of the Indigenous peoples of this country? Salmon and bison were both considered staple sources of protein that were both plentiful and delicious. After your holiday meal, you might even be tempted to have them more often.

Tea Rubbed Bison in Cranberry Sauce

Bison are enjoying a bit of a resurgence across the country. This naturally lean meat has a rich taste without being too gamey. Here is a recipe that is sure to be a hit even after the holidays!

To prepare the rub, combine

1 Tbsp. Sir Jason Winters’ Classic Blend Tea with Chaparral, ground fine. 

1 Tbsp. onion powder

1 Tbsp. paprika

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. chili powder

1 Tbsp. brown sugar

Mix the ingredients thoroughly, then liberally rub them into the bison steaks. Allow to marinate for 4 hours. If you have any extra rub leftover from this step, it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Cook the bison steaks for 5 minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and cover.

Cranberry Sauce

To make the sauce, prepare a strong infusion for one cup of your favorite Sir Jason Winter’s tea. We recommend using Sir Jason Winters’ Raspberry Flavored Tea to emphasize the berry taste. To this add:

¼ cup dried cranberries

¼ cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste, or add a pinch of the leftover bison rub.

Bring the tea and cranberries to a simmer till reduced to half. Add the cream to bring the sauce to the desired consistency. Spoon over the steaks or serve on the side.

Garlic Juniper Berry & Green Tea Marinated Salmon

4 cloves of garlic, peeled & chopped

1 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp. of Kosher or Pink Himalayan salt

1 cup of a strong infusion of Sir Jason Winters’ Green Herbal Tea (GHT)

1 Tbsp. dried rosemary

1 Tbsp. juniper berries

2 Tbsp. of white wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay

Place the salmon into a container or plastic sealable bag and let marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours. Remove from the marinade and set aside. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25-30 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Adding Tea to Holiday Side Dishes

You can also infuse tea bags directly into the water, heavy cream, or milk used to make gravies or used to whip up mashed potatoes. If your recipe calls for broth or stock, substitute a cup of your favorite Sir Jason Winters tea and watch the flavors of your side dishes pop! 

You can even add tea to dessert dishes to give them a unique taste. Why not prepare your favorite gelatin by substituting the water with our Sir Jason Winters Peach Flavored Tea or Sir Jason Winters Raspberry Flavored tea instead? The possibilities of how you incorporate tea into your next holiday meal are almost endless.

Tea & Coffee

Tea or Coffee: Which One Is Better for You?

It’s a battle that’s been waged at breakfast tables and in research laboratories worldwide for decades. Which drink does more in terms of antioxidants, reducing inflammation, boosting metabolism, cognition, or overall good health?

No matter which beverage you prefer, each has its own set of distinctive benefits. Here is a breakdown of what researchers have learned and the potential benefits of both.

Comparisons and History

Both tea plants and coffee plants are members of the evergreen family and respond to soil and environmental conditions or terroir where it is grown. The tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and the coffee plant (Coffea arabica) can grow into small trees, but each is pruned to keep them shrub-sized when grown for commercial harvest. 

The use of tea as a beverage can be traced back to 2737 BCE, when Chinese Emperor Shen Nong discovered it. On the other hand, coffee made its earliest debut as a beverage in the 9th or 10th Century AD in Ethiopia or Yemen. Over time, both beverages grew in popularity, and their consumption spread around the world. 

The Lowdown on Caffeine

While it is true that both coffee and tea contain caffeine, the ways in which this is measured are quite different. That first jolt of caffeine in the morning is what gets many people going in the morning. 

Did you know that raw tea has higher levels of caffeine than raw coffee? However, the brewing process for coffee extracts more caffeine out of coffee than tea. While coffee generally gives a bit more caffeine at the start of the day, both black and green teas offer more of a slow burn to keep you going longer. 

A single 8-ounce cup of coffee has between 80-185 milligrams of caffeine, while an 8-ounce cup of tea has just 15-70 milligrams of caffeine. Health experts generally agree that it’s a good idea not to consume more than 400 mg. of caffeine per day.

Caffeine will help more neurons in your brain to fire to give you a feeling of increased alertness, improve overall cognitive function and reaction time, and even boost your mood. While all of this can be a good thing, if too much caffeine is consumed, it can cause anxiety, headaches, stomach upset, and increased heart rate, heart palpitations, and blood pressure.

Of course, consuming a moderate level of caffeine throughout the day isn’t a bad thing. However, drinking a cup of coffee at night or close to bedtime can make it more difficult to fall asleep. 

On the other hand, researchers have found that drinking a cup of green tea, even before bedtime, can help you feel more relaxed and help you to feel more refreshed when you wake up the next day.

Antioxidants, Health, & Longevity

Can consuming coffee or tea potentially help improve or even lengthen your life? Perhaps. Researchers have found subtle ways in which both may help, but do so in somewhat different ways.

  • According to some reports, those who consume either coffee or tea are much less likely to face a much-reduced rate of stroke, cirrhosis of the liver, the development of diabetes, and can slow the onset of Alzheimer’s or other cognitive diseases. Tea contains the powerful antioxidant Epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG and theaflavin. Some reports state theaflavin may act as powerful inhibitors to slow the growth of some forms of cancer cells.
  • Because caffeine boosts metabolism, ongoing studies have shown that for those who suffer from slight to chronic asthma consuming moderate levels of caffeine can help to either prevent the onset of or lessen the severity of an asthma attack.
  • Both coffee and tea contain vitamins and minerals. While coffee does tend to be richer in B vitamins, including B2, B3, tea contains 16% higher levels of Manganese on average. While the levels of iron found in either are approximately the same, tea contains much higher levels of calcium ( up to 450% higher) than coffee. This is an especially important consideration for those who are concerned with bone density levels and osteoporosis.
  • Research has shown that tea contains properties that inhibit the growth of mouth bacteria that contribute to dental disease and tooth loss. This is believed to be because of tea’s antioxidants and naturally-occurring fluoride compounds.
  • An added potential benefit for those who prefer to drink tea, the antioxidants may help the body fight off the effects of environmental factors that can take their toll on our skin and overall health, and boost the immune system overall.

As you can see, both drinks can offer their own set of potential health benefits. Our founder, Sir Jason Winters, started our company because he learned from others about the potentially positive properties found in tea and other herbs and supplements. We are proud to offer the finest quality herbs and supplements available.

Halloween Tea Party Ideas

The coming of fall and Halloween, in particular, mark the changing of seasons. Along with the fall of the leaves and days getting shorter, temperatures drop until we can feel the crispness of the fall air. 

Many people embrace this near end-of-the-year celebration with as much anticipation as they do other holidays on the calendar. While no one usually gets the day off for this holiday, it is the one time of year that many of us get a chance to dress up and be something or someone else. 

As we pass into the darker part of the year that marks winter’s approach, it’s also the time to celebrate family and friends and gather round to hear the retelling of a spooky ghost story or two.

For many, the season of Halloween coincides closely with Dio de Los Muertos,  the Day of the Dead, which is celebrated in Mexico, and in the United States as a festival to honor loved ones who have passed on. 

If you’re thinking of scaring up a little bit of spooky fun with family and friends, why not consider hosting a Halloween tea party?

Here are some ideas to help make your end-of-year celebrations something to remember. 

Planning Your Halloween Party

At this time of year, there is no shortage of specialty stores that carry party supplies, costumes, and invitations in fall colors and designs. 

  • Instead of buying something pre-made, why not create your own special invitations made in the shape of witches, ghosts, or ones that look like Gothic invitations to dine at a haunted mansion? You can make it an utterly Victorian affair so that it looks like something right off the pages of Edgar Allan Poe or a Sherlock Holmes mystery.
  • Host a themed Halloween party where everyone comes as their favorite werewolf, vampire, ghoul, ghost, or witchy character. 
  • Find black paper lace doilies to act as placemats. This can serve as the perfect backdrop to plain white china, glassware, and place settings. Get out stemmed goblets, teacups and saucers, and black napkins. Think of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland or a spooky version of Downton Abbey to get your creative juices flowing!
  • Make some cookies in the shape of coffins, ghosts, witch’s hats, or bats, or use similarly shaped cutters to make delightful finger sandwiches for guests to enjoy along with their tea.
  • Decorate your space with spooky motifs like skeletons, skulls, jack-o’-lanterns, spiderwebs, or anything that evokes the idea of Halloween and the last harvest of the year.
  • Light the pathway to your door with jack-o’-lanterns, orange-colored lights, or solar torches meant to look like flames to build anticipation and provide just the right atmosphere!

Spooky Tea Treats

Not sure what to serve your tea party guests?  Here are some ideas that may look complicated but are scary easy!

Graveyard in the Dark Cake

Here is a spooky, chocolaty cake that is sure to please even the most discerning ghoulish guest.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups of all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup of unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 ½ teaspoons of baking soda
  • ½ teaspoons of table or kosher salt
  • 2 cups of firmly packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup of unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup of sour cream
  • 1 cup of freshly brewed coffee
  • 1 ½ cup of heavy cream
  • ½ cup of granulated sugar
  • 3 cups of bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F.  You will need two 9-inch round cake pans. Coat each with cooking spray and line the bottom of each pan with baker’s parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.

Combine the brown sugar and butter using a mixer in a large mixing bowl for three minutes or until a light and fluffy consistency. Add the eggs one at a time, then add 1 tablespoon of vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed and beat in flour mixture and sour cream until thoroughly combined. Add the coffee to the mixture until it is thoroughly combined.

Divide the batter between the two baking pans and bake for between 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean. Allow the cakes to cool for approximately 15 -20 minutes, then place on wire cooling racks until completely cool. 

To make the frosting, heat the heavy cream, sugar, and ½ cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter is completely melted. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth. Add the two teaspoons of vanilla and blend thoroughly. 

Place the icing in the refrigerator for approximately 30 -40 minutes, occasionally stirring so that the icing does not become too stiff. Remove from the refrigerator and allow the icing to reach room temperature so that it is more spreadable. 

Place one of the cake halves on the serving plate and ice with one cup of the frosting. Place the remaining cake on top and coat with the remaining frosting. 

Halloween Berry Tea

October marks the last portion of the yearly harvest. The last remnants of apples, nuts, vegetables, and berries are being gathered to be enjoyed over the cold days of winter.  Halloween is the perfect time to relish the taste of ripe raspberries or blackberries, dressed up with a bit of spice.

For each cup of tea you intend to serve, you will need one Sir Jason Winters Raspberry Flavored Tea, or for those who like a sweeter tea, Sir Jason Winters Raspberry Flavored Tea with Stevia. 

Brew this tea a pot at a time and add to it add a bit of cinnamon, freshly squeezed lemon, and a stick or two of cinnamon to give it a spicy, warming aroma.

Have a bowl of fresh blackberries or raspberries on the side, along with lemon slices or a bit of freshly grated ginger for guests to add to their tea. 

What other kinds of fun and monstrous mayhem can you think of for your Halloween tea get-together? Drop us a line and let us know what you come up with.

Sweetening Your Tea Naturally Without Added Sugar

According to a recent study conducted by the International Food Information Council in 2021, three out of every four adults surveyed wanted to reduce or eliminate sugar from their daily diet. 

Among the reasons participants cited were to lose weight, reduce incidents of chronic inflammation and to improve dental health. Scientists have found almost 74% of all foods on the market today will contain added sugar of one type or another. Even with the best of intentions, many people have found that limiting their daily intake of sugar to be a difficult proposition, even if they stop consuming soft drinks or fruit juices in favor of drinking water or tea instead. 

Those who are recent converts from such less healthy drinks to tea will sometimes complain that tea can be a bit bitter, especially black and green teas. Of the two, green tea can be more bitter in a shorter amount of time than black teas. 

Bitterness in tea can be caused not only by the tannins in the Camelia sinensis or tea plant, but also from the high levels of theophylline and polyphenols, which act as antioxidants. Also, the hotter the water used to brew the tea and the longer the tea leaves are allowed to steep, the more bitter a tea can become. 

For the Love of Sweet Tea

If you have a bit of a sweet tooth but don’t like the idea of adding processed sugar to your tea, there are several other ways to satisfy your cravings. Rather than reaching for any artificial sweeteners, which are filled with chemicals that can have detrimental effects on the body even in low doses, why not try a natural alternative instead? Below are some ways to get the sweet into your tea while keeping overall good health in mind.

 Honey

Since ancient times, we have acknowledged the sweet and nutritious properties of honey. Archaeologists have found caches of honey that date back as much as 5,000 years and found that it has lost none of its nutritional value. Consumed in moderation honey can be added to your tea with none of the guilt of sugar. Honey is a completely natural product and raw honey is especially rich in vitamins and minerals and packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that can help boost your immune system. Honey is sweeter than cane sugar so you can use less of it. It also has a lower glycemic index (GI) value than sugar, so it does not raise blood glucose levels as quickly. 

Stevia 

A decade ago, this little plant which is native to Paraguay and Brazil was all the rage. How could it be possible that something with exactly zero calories could be as much as 150 times sweeter than sugar? The stevia plant (Stevia ribaudiana) has been used around the world to sweeten foods and beverages naturally without adding extra calories. 

The plant naturally contains the glycoside steviaside, which is one of its major sweet components. When extracted from the plant, it produces a fine white powder that can be up to 300 times sweeter than cane sugar! 

Today, you can purchase stevia in health food and other grocery store chains. You are also likely to find the plant for sale at your local garden center so you can grow your very own!

Coconut Sugar and Date Sugar

Another natural sweetener that is gaining popularity as a substitute for white sugar is coconut sugar. Derived from the blooms of the sap extracted from coconut blossoms, this type of sugar has lots of calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, phosphorus, polyphenols, and antioxidants and is lower in terms of GI value. Not only can you sweeten your tea with it, but coconut sugar is also great for baking, too.

Date sugar has a similar taste to coconut sugar, and is made with dried dates. Both coconut sugar and date sugar are a bit more coarse than standard white sugar, but dissolves in your tea just as well. 

Agave Nectar

This syrup comes from the Blue Agave plant (Agave tequilana), which grows mainly in the Western United States and Mexico. It is roughly one and a half times as sweet as cane sugar and contains approximately 60 calories per tablespoon. Like the other natural sweeteners included here, it is lower on the glycemic index and contains more fructose rather than glucose. It does not, however, contain important nutrients, vitamins, minerals or fiber that other natural sweeteners have. 

It is also important to note that because of some health concerns related to the use of agave as a sweetener, particularly in those with hypoglycemia and diabetes, it is important to discuss its use with your physician or other healthcare professional first. 

Vanilla Pods

For a truly rare taste treat, vanilla pods steeped in black tea will give it a wonderful, sweet aftertaste on the palate that is like no other! It does not, however, give as good a taste to green tea and may turn its delicate tastes and aroma almost bitter. If you are in the mood for this taste treat a try, one vanilla pod is plenty to flavor an entire pot of tea.

Cocoa Shells

Cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, is extracted from cocoa seeds. The shells, once dried, are ground up into cocoa powder. Cocoa shells are also ground but to the consistency of coffee. These shells will not dissolve in your tea, but they will impart a chocolaty and sweet taste to your tea without added calories. 

Cinnamon Stick

Often used in Asia and the Middle East, adding a cinnamon stick to tea can give your tea a sweet aroma and taste. Produced from the bark of trees that grow mainly in Asia, steeping it in your teapot or cup of tea along with the tea bag or infuser can give it a delicious, spicy taste. Be careful not to steep it too long, however, cinnamon can add “heat” to the taste rather than the sweetness that you’re after.

Get Yourself Something Sweet, Keeping Health in Mind.

The best teas in our lineup to start sweetening would be our Asian Green Tea, our Peach Tea, and our Raspberry Tea. You can also get our peach and raspberry tea flavors pre-sweetened with stevia if you desire. 

As for our herbal teas, that’s a matter of personal preference. Most people drink herbal tea with no sweetener, but adding a little honey or stevia is just fine too.

What’s most important is that you’re drinking tea regularly for your personal well-being. Just don’t go overboard with the sugar!

Labor Day – Tea and Traditions

Labor Day – Tea and Traditions

Labor Day Monday, particularly in the United States and Canada, is just one of a few yearly holidays that gives us a three-day weekend. The Labor Day weekend marks the sacrifice and efforts made by labor organizations for fair working conditions and wages. 

This particular holiday is also a great time to get together with friends and family, enjoy good times, and enjoy the last bit of summer. For many, the week following Labor Day marks when kids go back to school, the last days of the harvest and when it’s time to make preparations for the coming of colder weather. 

The History of Labor Day

Labor Day’s beginnings occurred in the late 19th Century during the Industrial Revolution. Even for all of the advances in technology, working conditions for workers were terrible. Many workers worldwide were required to work 12 to 16 hours per day and six days per week in factories, mills, mines, railroads, and sweatshops. Often workspaces were hot, dirty, crowded, and dangerous, all for meager wages. Workers could even be punished for singing or even talking during work hours!

By the 1860s, the deplorable conditions produced enough outrage that workers would strike, demanding shorter workdays and better working conditions. The movement gained enough momentum that in 1872, 10,000 workers in Toronto, Canada walked off the job, parade through the streets. In 1882, union organizers in New York City organized the first Labor Day Parade, proclaiming it a “general holiday for the workingmen of the city.”

Even before Labor Day was officially declared a national holiday, labor activists in several states would gather to celebrate the accomplishments of workers on the first Monday in September by holding parades, picnics, speeches, and firework displays. Oregon was the first state to designate Labor Day as a statewide holiday. Soon the states Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and New York would follow.

In May of 1894, workers at the Pullman Palace Car Company of Chicago staged a strike protesting their 16-hour workdays. The following month, the Pullman workers were joined in solidarity by the American Railway Union (ARU). Workers allied with the ARU refused to move Pullman cars between locomotives. This alliance between the workers who made the railway cars and those who worked for the railroads essentially ground railway transportation in the United States to a screeching halt. 

The legislation was quickly introduced and passed throughout the halls of Congress. President Grover Cleavland then signed the bill into law on June 28, 1894. 

Labor Day & Tea

Today, Labor Day is celebrated as a way to acknowledge the contributions of workers around the world, although not always on the same day that it is celebrated in the United States. In England, for example, Labor Day is celebrated on May 01. 

No matter which day it’s celebrated, it’s interesting to note that how many of us brew our daily cup of tea actually has its roots in the tradition of working-class laborers in England. 

When laborers would take their tea during breaks, they would brew their tea, referred to as Builder’s Tea. As we do here in the United States, laborers in the U.K. were referred to as Blue Collar Workers because they wore blue jumpsuits or overalls while on the job. 

To some, it has become similar to enjoying a round of drinks at the local pub after a day’s work. The time-honored tradition of tea together became a way for workers to build camaraderie and cooperation while on the job.

How to Make A Traditional English Builder’s Tea

In honor of all the past and present workers that made this holiday possible, why not enjoy a cup of English Builder’s Tea? 

  • To get the most out of your tea, start by bringing a pot of the best water available to a boil. If you are taking tea with friends, family, or co-workers, make sure there’s enough for everyone.
  • Have a tea bag or your favorite loose tea in an infuser waiting in or alongside a tea mug. English Builder’s Tea was traditionally made with black teas, but we invite you to try it with our Jason Winters Green Tea, or our Peach and Raspberry infused teas!

  • As soon as the water reaches a boil, pour the water over the tea bag or loose tea infuser.
  • Allow the tea to steep for the appropriate amount of time. Some tea drinkers will add raw honey or other natural sweetener such as stevia to their preferred taste. 
  • It’s interesting to note that some builder’s tea enthusiasts claim that pouring the water and milk over the tea simultaneously makes it possible to maintain temperature and get the perfect mix.
  • Traditionally, the teabag is dunked or stirred and tasted to get it just right. While some like their tea light and thin, others prefer it to be thick, sweet, and dark amber in color.

Pass the Biscuits, Please

Another Builder’s Tea tradition is the dunking of cookies, or biscuits as they are called in the U.K. in the tea. English shortbread, butter or cheese biscuits, or any other small, flour confection that will hold its own when dunked can be used. Why not try your hand at a traditional butter tea biscuit to share over the Labor Day holiday?

Butter Tea Biscuits

You will need

  • ½ cup of butter
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 cup of flour
  • ⅛ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract

Stir the confectioner’s sugar over the room temperature butter to combine. Cream until the consistency of the mixture is fluffy. To this, add flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix in a blender at low speed, making sure to scrape the bowl to mix all ingredients properly.

Place dough on plastic wrap and roll into a “log.” Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight. Cut the dough into half-dollar-sized rounds on a baking sheet. 

In an oven that has been preheated to 350 degrees F, bake the cookies for 20 – 25 minutes or until lightly golden brown. 

After baking, transfer the biscuits or cookies to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.

We encourage you to try some Jason Winter’s Tea as part of your Labor Day celebrations. Take a moment to reflect on the history of the holiday, and about what you can do to improve your workplace over the coming year. Enjoy the end of summer!

Beating the Summer Heat with Green Tea

Almost everyone loves the fun associated with summer, but you have to be careful in the heat! Whether you’re enjoying active sports, working in the garden, or just relaxing in the shade, it’s important to stay hydrated during the summer months. 

When temperatures reach into the 80s, heatstroke and dehydration can be dangerous. Fortunately, it’s easy to fix. Just drink enough liquids like green tea and you can beat the summer heat!

Staying Hydrated and Cool

Scientists advise that the best way to stay adequately hydrated is to drink at least 4 liters of fluid per day. However, not all fluids are best. While you might be tempted to grab a bottle of fruit juice or a soft drink, both can raise sugar levels in the body. 

Many carbonated beverages can actually cause more harm than good. The harm comes in the form of an increased chance of obesity, diabetes, bone loss and tooth erosion, and osteoporosis. 

As we have pointed out here on our blog, drinking green tea has many benefits beyond hydration. Other than water, green tea is one of the best alternatives because it not only keeps you hydrated, it can provide powerful antioxidants, such as epigallocatechin-3 gallate or EGCG. 

Before your next hot summer day, why not brew up a pot of our Sir Jason Winters Green Herbal Tea (G.H.T) in the morning, add ice, and keep it on hand in your refrigerator? Or try the added convenience of our Pre-Brewed Green Herbal Tea. Just use one teaspoon per pint. In a tall glass filled with ice, few things can beat it!

Hot Tea – in the Summer?!

While iced tea didn’t get its start until the World’s Fair of 1904, since that time, we’ve discovered lots of different ways to stay cool with the goodness of tea. Believe it or not, in hot climates around the world, such as Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, and India, tea is traditionally served hot. 

Today, the debate still rages about whether hot or cold tea is best and the overall benefits of each. The tradition of hot tea year-round may have started back in the heyday of the British Empire; however, if you are fortunate enough to be invited as a guest in the home of someone who lives in tropical climates, don’t be surprised if the tea that they bring you is hot rather than iced. 

We are more used to drinking iced tea here in the United States, while people living in hotter locales around the world have found that hot tea can cool you down more effectively. 

Why does this work? Research scientists and health experts have found that hot tea causes the body to sweat more profusely. When the body sweats more, its evaporation causes the body to cool more effectively. 

In desert climates such as Morocco and Egypt, it has become a tradition to add a generous amount of mint leaves to hot tea, especially during the hottest part of the day. This is because the mint acts to have an even more significant cooling effect because it gives us the sensation of cooling and refreshing at the same time. 

Other Ways To Keep Cool with Green Tea

As we mentioned in another previous blog post, not only can green tea keep us cool, hydrated, and healthy on the inside, it has plenty of external uses as well for our bodies or in our homes. 

  • If you are looking for an effective way to keep mosquitoes at bay during the summer months, save your green tea leaves and allow them to dry out. Add some to a fireproof container and it the areas where 
  • Throughout Thailand, Burma, and other parts of Asia, people will mist the straw mats that they sleep on with green tea, cool them, and deodorize and freshen them up. 
  • Brew a cup of green tea, then place it inside a small spray bottle you keep in your refrigerator. When you want a refreshing pick me up, spray it on your face and body.
  • If you forgot your sunscreen and got a little too much sun, washcloths soaked in refrigerated green tea can help take the heat, redness, and the sting out of a minor sunburn.
  • Fill your ice cube trays with green tea and add them to your daily glass of tea, or add it to freshly squeezed juices to give them an extra bit of tang.
  • After a hot day in the sun, add used green tea bags to your bath. To ease tired, sore eyes, place the tea bags over your eyes, lean back, and relax. You’ll come out again feeling refreshed and much cooler.
  • Your garden can also benefit from green tea. Used tea leaves can be composted, added to potting soil to help keep moisture in the soil, and used as mulch for your rose bushes.

These are just some of the ways that green tea can be a powerful ally during the hottest months of the year. If you think of more, please drop us a note and share your ideas with us!

Introducing Jason Winters Gummy Vitamins

We all know that most of our daily diets can be far less than perfect. Because of this, we’ve already discussed here on our blog why taking a high-quality daily multivitamin is so important. Sometimes even the most health-conscious among us can miss important vitamins and minerals that can help keep us strong and healthy.

Gummy Vitamins?

For some, just taking a daily multivitamin tablet can be a challenge for both kids and adults. In order to combat this, many companies found that putting their multivitamin formula supplements into gummies makes taking daily vitamins a lot easier.

Are Gummy Vitamins Just as Good as a Vitamin Pill?

According to Dr. Zhaoping Li, Professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Clinical Nutrition at UCLA, while some people are skeptical about just how effective taking gummies compares to taking a traditional pill, there is no way to tell whether one form of vitamin and mineral supplement is better than any other. 

Adult Multivitamin

According to a recent study conducted by AARP, many consumers have experienced what is called “pill fatigue.” With gummies having a more candy-like appearance and taste, kids and adults alike find that taking them is almost effortless.

Gummies are usually made of gelatin and have added sugar, usually as glucose or glucose syrup. Other ingredients may also include food coloring and citric acid to stabilize the mixture and keep it together.

Dr. Li warns that while this makes them taste sweet, making them seem more like candy than most vitamin pills, consumers should read the label to find out just how much added sugar they’re getting per dose. Ideally, health experts recommend that the added level of sugar be kept low. To put this into perspective, one packet of sugar is equivalent to 4 grams of sugar. 

When choosing gummy vitamin supplements, you want to choose one that is low in added sugars. While most gummy supplements have just a couple of grams of sugar, it is also essential to read the label to ensure that you get all the vitamins and minerals you need. In whatever form you choose, you want your multivitamin to contain vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D3, and important minerals such as zinc and folic acid, which are all derived from naturally occurring or food sources. 

As we mentioned in our earlier blog post, it’s important not to exceed the recommended daily dose on the label unless directed by your doctor.
