From Ceremonial Tea to a Convenient Tea Bag

Hyleys development team is always looking to innovate.

These brilliant combinations could not be any more powerful in their benefits. The new Hyleys Pure Matcha Lemongrass Tea includes lemongrass, a favored herb in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a citrusy-flavored herb that is well known for aiding digestion, regulating blood pressure, and boosting metabolism. On the other hand, Hyleys Pure Matcha Turmeric Tea brings what many call “The Miracle Spice” due to Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits, antioxidant properties, and defense against Alzheimer’s. The reason? Its high levels of curcumin. Drink and enjoy the benefits of pure matcha and turmeric!

Hyleys Pure Matcha Teas are now available in 5 delicious options: Original, Mint, Ginger, Lemongrass and Turmeric.

Tea: Origins, Flavors and Health Benefits


How many times do we just want to drink tea after a heavy meal, but are then bombarded with all the various tea flavors that we get lost.
Here are all the answers:


What you should always remember is that there are only four types of tea.
1) Black tea
2) Green tea
3) White tea
4) Oolong tea

All these are made from the leaves of the same plant, camellia sinensis, also known as the tea plant. Other herbal infusions such as chamomile tea, ginger tea or red tea made of rooibos leaves are disqualified as types of tea since the tea plant is not involved in their making. The difference between the four tea variations lies in the process of making them. In addition, each type of tea has another flavor and various health benefits.

1) Black Tea
The strong flavored burnt Sienna colored hot beverage is the most popular type of tea in the West. Either served with a squeeze of lemon or added milk and a cube of sugar, the cup of black tea is part of daily tea ceremonies that take place worldwide. Black tea is made of heavily oxidized camellia sinensis leaves. When served plain, it contains no calories, carbohydrates, or fats. A cup of black tea contains more caffeine than any other types of tea but less than in any cup of coffee.

2) Green Tea
The lightly oxidized tea has been popular in China, Japan and Korea for centuries. Recently, rumors on its health benefits increased its popularity in the West as well. It has been proven that drinking green tea can lower cholesterol, prevent cancer, increase metabolic rates and be helpful in variety of other conditions and illnesses. The green tea is lightly oxidized, dried, but not fermented. It is usually served plain, without sugar or milk. Since some of the green tea variants taste a bit bitter, it should be brewed in lower temperature than the boiling point.

3) White Tea
White tea is rarer and more expensive than the other types of teas mentioned above. Originated in the Fujian province of china, the white tea is made of young camellia sinensis leaves, which go through a long process of steaming or frying, inactivate fermenting and drying. Since the leaves are harvested while the buds are still covered by white hair, it is called white tea. White tea has the most delicate, sweet taste than the other types of tea. Moreover, it contains the smallest amount of caffeine and the largest amount of antioxidant that help prevent cancer.

4) Oolong Tea
The traditional Chinese tea is the common companion of Chinese foods such as dim sum and chop suey in American Chinese restaurants. The oolong tea, black dragon in Chinese, got its name after its long, dark distinguished leaves that look like wild black dragons when brewed. The unique taste of the oolong tea is achieved by a long process that includes sun drying of the camellia sinensis leaves, light oxidization, cooling and drying processes. The result is a lighter flavor than the popular black tea and stronger than the delicate green tea.

GET INSPIRED: GENE -229 LBS AND STILL LOSING!


Today we are proud to share the  inspirational story of one of our Slim Tea customers. 

Gene an Indianapolis native who has lost 229 lbs without the need of surgery or diet pills. Emphasizing only on a healthy diet and exercise. Here is his story:

I've been on my journey for 3 years now. I started out at 577 lbs and in my first year I lost 185 lbs. But like all diets, I hit the hardships of life, death of friends, moving to a new home and just lack of motivation. All this caused me to gain back 90 pounds.


THINGS HAD TO CHANGE


After struggling to to maintain my weight, I said to myself, that it was enough! And I started all over again. 

  • I watched what I ate 
  • Started counting my calories with an  app called myfitnesspal, to help. 
  • I started walking more. I have always been active, but once I got to the 577 mark. I was only walking feet, hurting and in pain. Now I walk miles. On any given day I may walk 4-6 miles, some days even 8 miles. They are not always all at once, but in a combined amount. 
  • I stopped drinking soda not even diet soda or sweet tea. I even gave up my favorite iced tea from McDonalds. I had to give it up if I wanted to change.


I just give myself mini goals. I don't pre-cook or plan out my meals. Who has time for that?  I just watch what I eat and try to keep it all within the calorie goal I set for myself. 


Yes, I have “Cheat Days”. Yes, I crave chocolate, I'm human!  But I have a method that works for me. If I eat my  daily allowance of 800 calories ( I set my calories for the day around 800 or less for the day.) I try to burn it by walking only (cardio) at least 1,600 calories. Some days I burn way more and some days I burn just the amount I've ate. 


TAKE CONTROL

There is really no easy way or tricks. If you eat it, you are going to have burn those calories off. There is no miracle pill for weight loss . Exercise is the only thing that's going to help. How you decide to do this is up to you. Walking, playing ball with the kids, cleaning the house with music on. You have to get your body moving and sweating. "sweat is fat screaming". 
There are many diet aids out there, but they are only there to support you along on your journey. You have to put in the work and not count on them alone. That was when I figured I'd give Hyleys Slim Tea try. I love drinking tea and if it's going to help me lose weight, even better! Why not integrate this in to my weight-loss journey.

I’ve heard many things about diet teas. What attracted me to Hyleys Slim Teas was that it is all natural, so I decided to give it a try. I figured I'd give it a try and I loved the taste! I don't add sweetener, I just brew it, let it steep and I drink it. 

I have been drinking a cup with dinner and before bed for several weeks now as a support aid to help me reach my weight-loss goals.

HYLEYS DONATES BACK TO SCHOOL PACKS

FOG is a non-profit organization created in 1999. From the very first day, its goal was to make a real change to many lives in Sri Lanka by initiating different charity projects and events. For almost 16 years of community service, FOG has managed to successfully work and excel its expectations by surpassing financial barriers and obstacles that got in the way of its activities. One of FOG’s most significant and successful contributions is “The Essential School Supply Packs” project, which has been active since the beginning. FOG supports more than 30,000 beneficiaries across Sri Lanka through its 30-empowerment activity sectors each year.
HYLEYS DONATES BACK TO SCHOOL PACKS

At Hyleys Tea, we feel responsible to do our best not only in the quality of our products but a corporate responsibility to contribute and support those in need. 

We are proud to mention that Hyleys Tea  along with other supporting organizations was part of the inspiring Essential School Supplies Project (EESP) initiative by the Foundation of Goodness (FOG) in providing 18,950 school peaks for children with financial difficulties in Sri Lanka. By doing this, we made sure that children supported by this organization, received valuable donation packs that helped them go back to school just like any other children in the world do. All ESSP school packs are composed of the basic school gear and supplies that seems so simple and affordable to us, but the truth is that these children’s parents are not in a position to afford it. That makes them unable to give their loved ones a fighting chance to go through a normal education and strive for a brighter future. Sponsored by Hyleys Tea, the ESSP school supply pack includes items like school uniform and a bag, pair of shoes and socks, pencils, pens, exercise books, rulers, eraser, lunch box, etc.

Charity events like these are filled with joy and happiness where thousands of children that are thankful for the new chance for brighter future that wouldn’t be possible without the generous donations of many organizations. In 2014 _ the last school year, FOG managed to deliver a total 1,879 supply packs, and Hyleys Tea was part of this activity.

As FOG puts massive effort to prepare and deliver more supply packs and reaches for the number of 20,000 packs, we are happy to take part in giving a chance to many deserving children.

Can Green Tea Truly Fight Cancer?

CAN GREEN TEA FIGHT CANCER?
Can one of the most popular beverages in the world help you live a better and longer life?
Without any doubt, tea is the healthiest beverage on the planet. It’s widely popular too. Research after research has provento us the many health benefits of tea. From weight loss to lowering your chance for heart diseaseor high blood pressure, this amazing drink is surely worth consuming. But here’s where it gets more interesting – tea, especially green teahas been linked with cancer prevention. Does this magical drink truly has the power to fight cancer? Well, it’s an idea worth evaluating.
Green tea is rich with anti-cancer compounds!
Green tea comes from the Camellia Sinensis plant and by many people, it’s thetea with most health benefits. The reason why many scientists are pursuing the idea that green tea can fight cancer, is because this tea has high concentration of catechinsespecially Epigallocatechingallate (EGCG). This very antioxidant can protect you and prevent cancer cells from evolving. Here’s what American Cancer Society(ACS) has to say aboutgreen tea’s properties:
“EGCG may help because certain types of cancer cells to die in much the same way that normal cells do. This effect is important because cancer cells are different from normal cells in that they do not die when they should—they continue to grow and spread.”
Judging by ASC, more research and evidence is needed to support the idea that green tea can prevent or fight against cancer. But, there are some very promising resultsthat show green tea’sprotective effects against cancer cells.
Some promising cancer fighting properties
As previously mentioned, green tea has shown some promising cancer fighting properties, but it’s not fully concluded. There are many studies that have found a strong connection between green tea and cancer prevention.
Journal of the American College of Nutrition’s research analysis claims that great tea has the power to reduce prostate, breast and ovarian cancer. Then,the Journal of Cancer Research and Clinical Oncology conducted a research review where they found that drinking 5 cups of green tea per day may help you to prevent repeating colorectal cancer.
Judging by the National Cancer Institute, in the last few years have been conducted more than 50 studies which compared green and black tea drinkers and non-tea consumers. Although the results from these studies have been incomplete, laboratory evidence linked teas to reduce the change of different types of cancers including: ovarian, lung, prostate, breast and colon cancers.
So, should I drinkgreen tea to improve my health?
Yes, you should! Although it’s not officially concluded that tea can fight cancer, this beverage is totally worth drinking. Its high concentration of antioxidants can have plenty other significant health-related effects on your body.
Just remember, although tea’s cancer fighting effects may exist, you shouldn’t drink it with the purpose of preventing cancer. Think of it as an easy, delightful and natural way to improve your health and protect your body from nasty diseases.
