"Tea Guru" Miriam Novalle Continues Serving Up Top Tea Blends Worth the Mention

Sept. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- This year has been a huge success for T Salon (http://www.tsalon.com).  Miriam Novalle, the owner of T Salon is known as the "Tea Guru" amongst those in the industry. This summer, Adam Glassman, the creative director of Oprah Magazine listed T Salon’s "Iced Coconut Green Tea" on his must-have list (http://www.oprah.com/gift/Iced-Coconut-Green-Tea).

T Salon was founded in 1992 and was amongst one of the few establishments in New York City that offered consumers the experience of enjoying traditional teas.  Growing with the appreciation for tea, and the early success of Soho’s T Salon & Emporium, Miriam Novalle expanded the T Salon brand to the Chelsea Market in the meatpacking district and later to West Hollywood in LA. She has since aligned T Salon products with brands such as MAC cosmetics and New York City’s High Line, providing her teas in a pop-up fashion within the walls of already established businesses.

“T Salon’s mission is to create a ground swell of conscious tea drinkers and inspire the heartbeat of millions through the spirit of an everyday cup of tea,” states Miriam.   T Salon is passionate about tea, and that passion encompasses the elements of aroma, wellness, and environment.  Miriam believes that enlightenment for oneself and others is transferrable via one’s love for tea. “More than that, we are dedicated to expanding the virtues of responsible business practices by maintaining a social and environmental awareness. We do this by providing non-GMO, fair trade options while using recyclable material for distribution.”

T Salon has been a member and a supporter of the American Sustainable Business Council  (ASBC) since 2012.  The ASBC enables business leaders to provide an active voice in shaping a better world by advancing public policies that ensure a vibrant, just, and sustainable economy. “As an outspoken advocate of sustainability, and a fierce fighter for non genetically modified, organic, and farm to table food and drink - Miriam Novalle has lead the way,” states Iva Kaufman (Director of the Working Group of Women for the American Sustainable Business Council).  Novalle has won awards in design for her packaging and her T Salon establishments have won green building awards.  She packaged her teas in the first whole leaf tea bags and was amongst the first to utilize corn cups and tableware to serve her teas.

Though tea is the second beverage after water, not all teas are made with the same goals, the same benefits, or the same quality. Miriam Novalle’s T Salon tea blends offer aroma, taste bud satisfaction, environmental and health benefits for those who consume tea.  "Miriam is a brilliant entrepreneur who has been an inspiration for other brands.  T Salon teas are composed of sophisticated tasting notes and symbolize a lifestyle of luxury, sustainability and wellness," states Jewell Sparks the founder of OTGC On The Green Carpet (http:www.otgconthegreencarpet.com) (a business supporter of ASBC and a subsidiary of Strategic Diversity Group Inc).

T Salon has served and donated teas throughout the years to breast cancer awareness, ovarian cancer foundations, and heart health foundations.  T Salon supports events in the public interest from Donna Karan's Urban Zen and the Clinton Global Initiative to encounters with the Dali Lama.  T Salon provides teas that are good for one’s health as well as the health of the world.
