Why StolenTime advocates for International Tea Day

-

 


Why should we make noise about International Tea Day? Is this really a day worth recognition? An answer to this simple question is, Yes!

International Tea Day is observed on 21st May every year.  It is a day when tea enthusiasts unite to celebrate their favourite drink. International Tea Day also promotes ways to sustain the production and consumption of tea. We can also see that tea plays a vital role in the fight against hunger and poverty today. You'd be surprised to find that tea is the most loved beverage in the world for millions of people.


With so many benefits, let's narrow it down to the most common ones.


Aids in Weight Loss


Specialists advise that the perfect tea for weight loss is green tea because it contains a compound called catechins, which have been shown to help burn fat and boost metabolism. Other teas that may be beneficial for weight loss include oolong, pu-erh, white, and rooibos

Heart Wellness


Tea is one of the best sources of dietary flavonoids or natural plant compounds that have long been associated with heart health benefits. Both black and green tea contain flavonoids, but green tea has slightly higher amounts. Bear in mind that they need to be brewed at different temperatures for optimal results—which is easy enough to do with a good tea kettle.


Diabetes

Certain teas contain powerful compounds that may benefit people with diabetes.

Research suggests that green tea, turmeric tea, hibiscus tea, cinnamon tea, lemon balm tea, chamomile tea, and black tea may offer impressive antidiabetic effects, making them good choices for people with diabetes.

Lowers the risk of Cancer


Tea drinkers may have a lower risk of developing certain cancers, according to some studies, green tea can stop cancer cells from growing. Scientists have also confirmed that the catechins in green tea which are called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG)  has an anti-tumour(anti-cancer) effect.



Decrease of Stress


Antioxidants that prevent oxidative stress, which can damage healthy cells, are present in tea. The antioxidants in tea remove free radicals, which may lead to oxidative stress as a result of pollution and additional factors. In addition, antioxidants help eliminate toxins that can cause mental illness. Regular drinking of tea has been shown to reduce stress levels and improve overall health.



A Good Cup of Tea.


Lastly, drink tea daily to prevent the onset of neurological decline and help protect heart health. Make tea a part of a healthy eating pattern and with so many benefits, you can’t miss out on International Tea Day! Imagine having a delectable cup on the beachfront suite at StolenTime in Saint Lucia. Taking into consideration it is a wellness resort, they offer a unique blend of the finest and authentic pure teas like ginger root and peppermints.


Quench your thirst and experience local flavours on “island time” as you’re never in a hurry to enjoy the unique blends. At The Seaside Terrace, commanding spectacular views of the Caribbean, you’ll find a British-styled afternoon tea at 4 p.m. offering delightful pastries to accompany your favourite teas.

Afternoon Tea at StolenTime

There is something more to afternoon tea at StolenTime than simply a short respite. It is a full-fledged experience designed for us to slow down and take it all in. Overlooking the hallowed shores of Malabar Beach while still upholding this centuries-old tradition, it becomes a matter of leisure and pleasure as a mix of various teas, pastries, and finger foods is furnished. StolenTime afternoon tea is, as all things in our beautiful boutique resort, devoted to peace and into which one invariably wraps oneself either to share with a company or simply be with oneself. The History of Afternoon Tea During the early 19th century, tea consumption in Britain increased tremendously and it was around this time that Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford is said to have complained of “having that sinking feeling” during the late afternoon. The cure for this, she found, was a pot of tea and a light meal during the afternoon, taken in her boudoir or in rooms at Woburn Abbey where guests were welcomed to...
