Healthy Savannah and Ashford Tea Company Introduce Health Equi-Tea

SAVANNAH, Ga. - May 5, 2022 - PRLog -- (SAVANNAH, GA) Healthy Savannah and Ashford Tea Company are brewing up something special. The two organizations are introducing a new product to Savannahians called "Health Equi-Tea^TM." The new tea will be introduced to celebrate Healthy Savannah's 15th anniversary on Monday, May 16 at the Ashford Tea Company.

"This is a loose, tasty tisane with a special blend of chamomile, turmeric, peppermint and sweet blackberry leaves," said Wayne Ashford, CEO, who also developed the special blend. "I wanted to focus on full-body health. Research also suggests these herbs may assist with aliments that affect us presently and as we age. My focus with this blend was to have a caffeine-free tisane that would have numerous dimensions to overall health."

The process that led to this partnership between Healthy Savannah and Ashford Tea Company grew out of a shared commitment to instilling a culture of health in Savannah and building power within the community. Together, the two organizations looked for ways to reach beyond and break down the barriers that create and exacerbate health disparities.

Kreissler hopes this collaboration will promote health equity, the ability for all people to attain their full health potential and freely live, learn, work, and play.

Healthy Savannah strives to achieve its mission of making the healthy choice the easy choice for all Savannahians through community education and engagement with the goal of achieving equitable outcomes for all. The organization further supports equity initiatives with the YMCA of the Coastal Georgia as joint administrators of the $3.4 million Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) grant. REACH aims to help close the gap in health disparities among African Americans in Savannah and Chatham County.

The Health Equi-Tea launch will be held on Monday, May 16 at Ashford Tea Company at 406 E. Oglethorpe Ave in downtown Savannah. The public is invited for free tastings from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m.

Health Equi-Tea will be available for sale starting May 16 and a portion of the proceeds will directly support the work of Healthy Savannah.
