Sharon Kleyne Talks with Gretchen Twill of Devi Tea about the Benefits of Tea Drinking

Grants Pass, OR (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

On September 19, 2011, Gretchen Twill, Founder of Devi Tea, was interviewed by Sharon Kleyne on her show Sharon Kleyne Hour Power of Water about the benefits of tea drinking to reduce stress and improve health. The interview may be heard any time on Voice America, Apple iTunes, Green Talk Network, VoiceAmerica and Amazon.com.

Gretchen Twill lives in Medford Oregon. Devi Tea is an importer, seller and wholesale distributor of teas and tea blends from around the world. The company was founded eight years ago.

Tea has been around as a beverage drink for at least 5,000 years. It is the second most consumed liquid after water. The Chinese are believed to be the first to drink tea as part of their culture, and they developed several brewing methods still used today.

In the late 1500s, when most drinking water was unsafe, people in Europe drank mostly beer and wine. Coffee and tea were introduced in Europe at that time by the Dutch, who brought it from China. Tea gained rapid popularity because being boiled, tea water was safe to drink and the beverage was not intoxicating.

True teas are all brewed with water from the leaves of a plant called Camillia sinese. The difference is in the curing of the leaves and the method of brewing. The true teas are black tea, green tea, yellow tea, white tea, orange tea, oolong tea and pu'er tea. Getchen Twill and Devi Tea imports and sells all true teas.

Gretchen Twill notes that true teas, and teas blended from true tea (such as Earl Gray or Darjeeling) are high in anti-oxidants. Tea drinking tends to be relaxing and stress reducing, however, true teas contain a small amount of caffeine, to which some people are sensitive. People desiring to restrict their caffeine intake should drink herbal teas. Coffee contains more caffeine per serving than tea, however, tea contains more caffeine per pound of dry weight than coffee (tea is more diluted). .

Gretchen Twill and Devi Tea recommend loose leaf tea because Ms. Twill believes that tea bags take away flavor and may add their own slight flavor. Tea bags also substantially increase the price of tea. In loose leaf tea, nearly all cost goes to the tea. If you prefer tea bags, by all means, use them. Loose leaf tea may either be whole leaf or broken leaf.

The latest tea fad is ready-to-drink bottled tea, sold by Lipton, Snapple and many others.

With So Many Fearful About Financial Health These Days, Here's a Simple Wealth-Building Formula to Calm Nerves

(PRWEB) April 29, 2011

Everyone knows that keeping and growing money hasnt gotten any easier over the past decade. But now, theres something they can do. Camille Gaines shares a simple formula to help others get and stay on track to keep and grow more money no matter what the economy is doing. Shes been successfully using this formula for years, at many different levels on her own financial journey.

Money coach Camille Gaines says that many are not on a clear path to grow their money each month, which means they're probably not moving toward your financial goals. She says that almost most have strong emotions related to their money that get in the way of healthy and consistent money habits that help them earn, keep and grow wealth in their life.

It all revolves around clearly defining what you want your money to provide, and creating ongoing money habits that support those decisions, Camille says. I can walk you through implementing simple actions to make that happen.

She helps clients get concrete steps in place to measure whether income and spending patterns align with their money goals. Camille provides a simple but practical template to help others easily identify if and what actions they need to take to create the financial life they want while they still have time for their money to grow.

But before ANY of this happens, Camille helps clients first be really clear about exactly where they are and how they are earning and growing their money.

Camille shares firsthand experiences to help clients; she was struggling buy groceries and pay rent, but when she began working as an accountant she become very comfortable working with large numbers all day. Thats when she committed to creating and implementing a simple but effective personal money plan to save and invest money every month.

This decision led directly to being able to buy her own home in her mid-twenties, and, later, to leave her salaried position to work as a commission only commercial real estate broker. She used her plan to put aside as much money as she could, invested in the stock market with good timing, and was able to leave her salaried job 2 years later with enough money saved to create the life she wanted.

I love finding good value in everything, whether its an outfit at a great price or an undervalued stock, Camille says. Creating and implementing a financial plan while living a good lifestyle is so basic but often avoided until its too late for savings to compound. She encourages a natural talent almost every woman intuitively has that will help increase monthly cash flow by adjusting her spending plan, a term she prefers over budget.

Camille makes it clear that she doesnt manage money for others, but provides unbiased information that helps them become more proactive and confident with their growing and investing their money. She says there has been an increased need for her services with so many more fearful than ever about their financial future.
