Cooking with tea is as old as the history of tea itself. The ancient Chinese used dried pungent oolong leaves to stuff fish before steaming it; they added tea leaves to the fire source for smoking duck; infused boiling water with tea leaves to give eggs a distinctly marbled appearance on the whites when hard boiled. Prior to the final minutes of cooking, the eggshells are slightly cracked, thus allowing the teas to seep through and create this magical "marbled" effect; either green or black teas are great for this.

2008 was a full of growth and learning in so many ways for me personally and professionally. This day a year ago I officially started Naja Tea and became a business owner. I met and dated a wonderful man with whom I experienced and learned more than I could have imagined about myself and life itself in a year. Micah, my little fellow, started a new school with new friends and went from a classroom of 10 to a classroom of 35. In and of itself a lesson in so many ways. Several amazing women came into my life and have been a part of the growth of my business.

We are pleased to announce that Naja Tea is now being offered in two locations of Olives Gourmet Grocer in Long Beach, CA.
