News from Linde Lane:

NEW "TEA" FLOSS HELPS BUILD HEALTHY SMILES

January 2008 – DIXON, CA – Tea and Teeth have merged together to make TEAth Floss. Linde Lane, LLC has introduced TEAth Floss, to promote tea and health.

Dr. Kristina Wiley has been in the dental industry for over 20 years. Her passion and commitment to the tea industry has flowed into the dental industry. Early on, she discovered that the patients she treated who were regular tea consumers had a lesser cavity rate. “The relationship between the health benefits of tea and the health of the oral cavity are numerous,” claims Dr. Wiley. The benefits of tea on teeth can be attributed to the low acidity and natural fluoride. Dr. Wiley has expanded on the concept with her creation of TEAth Floss. “If we can encourage tea lover’s to floss, this can result in healthier gum tissues, less stain build up and less cavities”, says Dr. Wiley. “It is only necessary to floss the teeth you wish to keep”. A powerful, but true statement, which appears on the back of every package of TEAth Floss.

The health benefits of tea on the human body have been studied and published over and over again. It is about time the dental industry recognizes tea as a valuable asset to good oral health. Since the bacteria that cause periodontal disease has been linked to increase risks of heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications, it has become more important than ever to floss on a daily basis. Dental Floss removes bacteria between the teeth decreasing inflammation of the gum tissue.

Made from nylon, the dental floss is coated with a natural beeswax and is shred resistant. The floss is available in two flavors: Green Tea and Ceylon Cinnamon. Cinnamon originated from the Ceylon region, making it a perfect fit for TEAth Floss. The flavoring on the floss is 100% natural, resulting in a light and delicate taste, just like a good cup of tea.

It’s time to SMILE – tea lovers. TEAth Floss is the next generation of health products for tea consumers. TEAth Floss can be purchased online at www.LindeLane.com. Wholesale inquiries and questions for Dr. Wiley can be directed to Tea@LindeLane.com. Visit Linde Lane at the 2008 World Tea Expo in Booth #207

ROYAL TEA EXPRESS:

Inspiration for RoyalTea Express
Liz Stover has a passion for tea, and she came by it naturally. As a little girl, her grandfather lovingly brewed a cup of hot tea for her every morning before she went to school. She watched as he chose the tea leaves to use, heated water to just the right temperature, then brewed the tea for a precise period of time to make the best cup of tea for his granddaughter. The seed for Liz’s appreciation of what quality tea is all about was planted through her observation of this family tradition performed nearly every day as a child.

Dedication to the elegance of gourmet tea

Years later, while attending a formal tea in St. Louis, that seed was reawakened as Liz fell in love with the elegance and ambiance of gourmet tea. At that moment, Liz knew one day she would start her own company.

Gourmet tea and accessories

Today that dream has become a reality in Liz’s company, RoyalTea Express. Based in Sumter, S.C., RoyalTea Express offers high-grade teas from around the world. The company caters to those who enjoy the art of tea drinking, featuring an alluring array of gourmet tea flavors as well as a complete line of accessories and gifts to enhance the tea drinking experience.

Elite Manners School of Etiquette

Importance of etiquette for children

Liz, who has a master’s degree in public administration and is a Certified Etiquette Consultant, is also the founder and executive director of Elite Manners School of Etiquette.
A dedicated trainer and instructor, Liz believes that the understanding of etiquette and manners — especially for children — instills confidence, self esteem, and respect for others and has a positive effect in relationships, homes, communities, and workplaces.
