With Valentine’s day coming soon, the only thing on my mind is chocolate! If you’re looking for a delicious dessert for the 14th, my chocolate lava cakes infused with Koni Matcha Green Tea will be a huge hit! Chocolate Lava Cakes are so called because the center of the cake is a thick liquid chocolate and oozes out when cut, like molten lava. Matcha tea is known for its weight loss and fat burning qualities so maybe it will do its job as ... |

Fad diets or diet pills sound tempting but they do not lead to real weight loss. At best, they lead to rapid water loss (not fat). At worst, they lead to increased weight gain, a slow metabolism, depression and obesity. Diet products use aspartame so that they can claim that these are good to help you lose weight. The exact opposite is true. When you are eating or drinking diet products using aspartame you are almost assured to gain weight. T... |

My girlfriend is having a baby shower next weekend and wants to throw an Koni tea party. She is a huge fan of Koni Rooibos Teas and asked if she could still drink tea while she's pregnant. The general agreement is pregnant women and those trying to conceive should avoid consuming large quantities of caffeine. Small amounts of caffeine are ok but it is advantageous to cut out as much caffeine as possible when you're pregnant. Pregnant women metabo... |

Drinking white tea not only promotes healthy teeth and gums, but also radiant skin. Many factors can affect the skin's appearance, such as too much sun exposure, diet and stress. These factors can damage the skin and cause it to prematurely age. Through the consumption of white tea, you can protect your skin and help reverse some of the existing damage, leaving you with a healthier complexion.
