Calli
® is a concentrated blend of green and black tea and unique herbal extracts carefully balanced to provide support to the body's
natural cleansing processes. Full of healthy catechins (naturally occuring polyphenol chemicals), the antioxidants in Calli help
absorb damaging free radicals. Green and black tea come from the same herb, Camellia sinensis, but differ in preparation: Green
tea is heated whole with dry air or steam; black tea is fermented, rolled and allowed to air dry. The different drying methods
allow different antioxidant phytonutrients with many catechins to remain. Camellia sinensis is known to reduce fat and cholesterol
in the body by improving liver function.
Because Calli
® and
Fortune Delight® are concentrated, it would be difficult to drink enough black and green tea to fully
enjoy the same preventative benefits of the catechins. At the same time, while Calli
® and
Fortune Delight® have minor amounts of caffeine, black and
green tea typically have much more. With the additional herbs added to the combination of green and black teas for their cleansing
benefits and phytonutrient qualities, while green and black tea is from only one herb.
Brewing Calli® Tea
Calli
® Tea is a powerful cleansing agent! And because the herbs are 'sprayed' onto the tea leaves,
do not
make a single cup of tea and then retain the bag to use in another cup! No, make a whole pot out of that one tea bag. First, it's
that powerful; I routinely use a single tea bag in my coffee maker (an automatic coffee maker provides a good temperature as you
don't want to
BOIL Calli; that kills off some of the good stuff), so I get 12 cups of Calli from a single tea bag. But,
secondly, the herbs will almost all come off in that first cup of tea, so the first cup will be
extremely cleansing; this
is probably not the effect you want. Don't reheat it in the microwave as you'll destroy the live enzymes.
Calli
® comes in Regular, Mint & Cinnamon flavors. There is also Calli
® Night:

a special herbal formula in a tea bag which contains a different exclusive combination of herbs. It is designed for people who
enjoy a cup of herbal beverage at night to help get a good night's sleep. You can drink it during the day to help you relax when
under stress.
Fortune Delight
® is another tea product from Sunrider; unlike Calli
®, Fortune Delight
®
doesn't come in tea bag form but rather as a concentrated powder and therefore can be mixed with hot or cold water and doesn't
require brewing. Like Calli
®, Fortune Delight
® provides a wealth of antioxidant benefits.
Catechins are naturally occurring polyphenol chemicals found in Camellia extract, the primary ingredient in Fortune Delight
®.
These antioxidants have been shown effective in absorbing damaging free radicals.
Fortune Delight
® comes in Regular, Cinnamon, Lemon, Raspberry, and Peach flavors (Peach is my personal favorite).
I like to brew a pot of Regular Calli
® and then add a packet of Peach Fortune Delight
®;
another nice combination is Mint Calli
® and Lemon Fortune Delight
®.
I carry packets of Fortune Delight
® in my purse so I can mix it with water when I eat out. And, if I want
a sweeter taste, I add a little stevia.
I'd never heard of Stevia until I started using Sunrider products, back in 1999. Stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a plant belonging
to the chrysanthemum family. It is native to South America. Stevia leaves have been used for centuries by the indigenous peoples
who added it to bitter medicines and teas; it is a remarkable herb that helps maintain normal blood sugar levels in healthy
individuals.*
Sunrider's Dr. Chen was instrumental in convincing the FDA to allow Stevia to be legally sold in America and Sunrider sells Stevia in
two liquid forms:
The SunnyDew
® and Sunectar
® supplements are a potent liquid blend of stevia leaf extract and
chrysanthemum flowers. Other brands commonly use a chemical reaction to process stevia, altering its natural structure. However,
the stevia in Sunrider's SunnyDew
® and Sunectar
® undergoes a unique purifying and concentration
process that preserves the natural structure found in its whole food form. SunnyDew
® is very light in color
and flavor, highly concentrated and all natural; it is an excellent dietary supplement to help maintain normal blood sugar
levels.*
Sunectar
® is darker in color and more intense in flavor than SunnyDew
®. It's another
great choice for maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.
I am
very happy to sell you Calli
® and/or Fortune Delight
® teas as well as
SunnyDew
® and Sunectar
® supplements. Frankly, I heartily recommend all of Sunrider's remarkable
products: their quality and consistency are extraordinary. The herb foods are powerful nutrition; the single herbs and the herbal
concentrates are powerful and effective (for instance, I use Sunrider's
Chinese Goldenseal Root capsules when I'm fighting any kind of
infection). Their skin care line and hair care are wonderful, especially if you have sensitive skin like I do.
I am always happy to talk about
Sunrider products and help you decide what might be
most useful for you; please don't hesitate to contact me by email: Lynn AT lynnmaudlin DOT com will always reach me.
