Awesomest Berry Green Tea
Dragon Pearl's Super Natural Energy makes a berry green tea that's unlike any other!
Just pour a tiny amount into a cup (1 tablespoon will do it--these shots are very strong and flavorful-- but you can add up to an ounce) and add hot water.

Recycling and Re-using: Tea Containers
Dragon Pearl's Footprint Reduction Is One Step at a Time
A lot of our customers reuse their tea containers and just order refill bags, which are the inside bag that holds the tea airtight. The old containers work fine: once the tea is open, the container keeps it fresh while you use it. Air is the enemy! To be fresh, tea needs to keep from oxidizing. (Pu'erh tea is an exception to this rule.)
Other customers re-use the containers for other things since they're solidly-made, airtight food-grade containers that can be used to hold coffee, sugar and other foods, or used to hold items like pencils, sewing gear and nuts and bolts.
For our part, we use a lot of tea in our lab and serve thousands of samples to customers... so we go through a lot of containers.
We save all the containers from which we've remove the bags, and refill them with fresh tea when new stock comes in. If your container has been recycled, only the outside of the container is recycled! (The inside bag, of course, is original and unopened since being packed at the farms in Fujian.)
A sticker on the bottom the container shows when the new bag was added with a Best By date.

Caffeine versus Theine
What's the difference?
You may have heard us talk about trying theine instead of caffeine. Not that we don't like coffee, but most people don't realize that caffeine is in coffee and theine is in tea. They're almost the same molecule, but with almost imperceptible differences in the way the atoms are connected... and of course delivered in an entirely different chemical environment, as is theobromine in cocoa. And there are other kinds of alkaloids in nature, too.
The caffeine molecule
But we know green tea is special. For over a thousand years, humans have used tea to refresh, revive and enjoy.
While green tea is usually served very light, when concentrated its theine is a powerful metabolic booster, creating a "high" that is much smoother than coffee or chemical caffeine.
Energy shots or too much coffee stress the body, causing jitters, anxiety, nervousness, and mind-racing tachycardia.
Concentrated fresh green tea extract, on the other hand, provides smooth, clear-headed energy and powerful endurance. Try the difference for yourself!

We were serving our new Super Natural green tea shots, and we felt a lot of love! People commented on how they loved the flavor and ingredients, and many on the way back remarked "I feel good!" We actually sold some cases on the spot.
A terrific band, JD Project adorned the San Luis Obispo Mission courtyard with their blues music and had us rockin'. Memorable and stylish under their own modest method, they played several great tunes, including the award-winning Freight Train. Watch it here:

Why Fruit Is So Good for You
It's true: fruit is one of the healthiest things you can eat. Even for diabetics, if you eat fruit carefully (some fruits are high in natural sugars) it provides fresh nutrients from nature you can't get anywhere else.
We use fruit as the sweetener for Super Natural green tea shots because it's the most natural and healthy way to sweeten our extremely potent fresh green tea extract. (Without the fruit juice, it would make you gag-- it's way too strong to drink straight.)
Fresh Concord grape juice provides a rich source of resveratrol; blueberries and acai berries are a great source of antioxidant polyphenols, fiber, vitamins and manganese; and pomegranate juice contains tannins, anthocyanins, and ellagic acid, three powerful natural antioxidants.
Dragon Pearl's Super Natural green tea shots provide a full serving of fruit-- blueberries, purple grapes, acai berries and pomegranate juice-- some of the most nutri-delicious berryberry vitaminicious sweet juice, providing only 45 calories (9g fruit sugar) per serving.

Making the Strongest Green Tea
Here's a quick video clip of part of the manufacturing process-- one of the last steps, which is packing the finished bottles into 12-packs.
The process takes about 36 hours to complete, starting with brewing the green tea with as many leaves as we can get into the water and infusing the tea into purified water until it's a dark brown concentrate.
Then the fresh-brewed super-tea is pasteurized, mixed with fresh blueberry, purple grape, pomegranate, and acai berry juices.
The supershots are finally flash-pasteurized and aseptically bottled. (More about how the tea shots are brewed)

Nutritionist Warns Against Energy Drinks
Dragon Pearl's Tea Shots Featured as a Healthy Alternative
Nutritionist Aaron Snyder was featured on San Diego's Channel 6 yesterday. He discussed energy drinks and energy shots with reporter Marc Bailey, and talked about the effects of too much caffeine on the body, especially diabetics.
Aaron says that drinks like Monster, Red Bull and 5-Hour Energy are basically a rip-off that give you way more caffeine than needed to stimulate the body, and make you crave sweet and fatty foods.
He also discussed Dragon Pearl's Super Natural Tea Shots, saying that three cups of green tea is the ideal "lift" for the human body, providing the maximum dose of natural caffeine for humans. Three cups of organic green tea provides a lift all day long, without interfering with sleep because it allows you to get tired by expending your energy instead of countering over-stimulation with drugs.
Aaron also discussed his new book, The New Diabetes Prescription.
