by Lori Way, MS, RD A good friend recently asked me a question about making iced tea, and it occurred to me that others may have the same question. She usually makes her iced tea with our Cinnamon Orange Spice tea, but the other day made it with Yorkshire Gold. She used the same method …continue reading by Lori Bricker, MS, RD A customer recently asked me this question: “One of my primary intentions in drinking green tea is the healthy benefits of EGCG/catechins. To that end, have the various teas been tested and what green teas that you carry are highest in catechins?” Here is my answer: We have not had …continue reading By Lori Bricker, MS, RD This fall marks the 10th anniversary of The Tea Table, and I find myself reminiscing about our beginnings and the changes we’ve been through. The Tea Table started as a pretty little shop in the historic “Old Town” district of Fort Collins, Colorado. My mom and a handful of friends …continue reading By Lori Bricker, MS, RD Since the whole thing with Lipton and the FDA, I’ve been thinking and reading a lot about tea and health and labeling—more than usual.

My brother just moved in with me temporarily while he's in a transitional period. Having someone new around is not something I get to experience very often.

As a tea shop owner, I get a lot of questions about the health effects of tea. Since I have a background in nutrition, I have some insight into how complicated the question really is, so my answers are never …continue reading By Lori Bricker, MS, RD Someone I follow on Twitter asked whether having afternoon tea with a sweet treat would harm her attempts at weight loss.
