Maria Uspenski, founder and CEO of The Tea Spot, will present a special session on tea and health at the Los Angeles Tea Festival on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019, at 11:30 a.m. at the Magic Box @ The REEF in downtown Los Angeles. The Tea Spot is a leading producer of handcrafted whole leaf teas and Steepware, and the company donates 10 percent of all sales in-kind to cancer survivors and community wellness programs.
Los Angeles Tea Festival – which will take place Aug. 10-11 and is open to tea enthusiasts and those interested in learning about tea – is expected to attract more than 4,500 attendees. Now in its ninth year, Los Angeles Tea Festival is the nation’s largest tea festival, featuring two days of tea talks, exhibits and tea culture.
“Los Angeles Tea Festival is all about uniting tea enthusiasts,” says Uspenski, who’s also the author of the book Cancer Hates Tea. “I’m thrilled to connect with festival attendees this August and share how tea fits into a healthy on-the-go lifestyle.”
Uspenski, whose presentation is titled “Drink to Your Health with Camellia Sinensis,” will journey through the science, the how-to’s and the myths surrounding tea. She’ll begin with an overview of tea’s history and cultural traditions as a health beverage, and then share the nuts and bolts of how tea can help to keep you healthy, happy and hydrated. She’ll also look at what’s trending in the world of tea and offer tips on how to easily bring tea into everyday nutrition and hydration routines.
Immediately following the presentation, Uspenski will be available to sign copies of Cancer Hates Tea, where Uspenski shares what she has learned and experienced about how tea works to help the body’s defenses against cancer.
“Attendees at the Los Angeles Tea Festival will learn about the many health benefits of a cup of tea, and where those benefits derive from,” says Uspenski. “Overall, tea can improve one’s health and wellness, along with functioning as a precautionary agent against disease in the human body.”
In addition to Uspenki’s presentation, the Los Angeles Tea Festival will feature countless opportunities to sip on top quality tea and engage in in-depth discussions and presentations on teas from every region. Attendees will try unique tea pairings and experience craft tea infused cocktails and boba, while enjoying the exhibits, colorful performances and activities.
