The Taste of Tea Docents gather with 20,000 plus Pure Food Enthusiasts
For what is being called the largest gathering in Pure Food history as well as the “World’s Fair of Pure Food“. The Taste of Tea was sampled by more than 2,000 visitors while Tea Docents lead discussions, provided unique tea treatments and shared lifestyle guidance over 3 busy days. 2013 was the 3rd annual Heirloom Exposition packed full of more than 3,000 varieties of Heirloom produce and livestock, 300 pure food vendors and 100 plus speakers. The air was filled with wisdom as anti-GMO activism spread and a feeling of hope blossomed as people began to take control equipped with the knowledge on how to vote with their dollars and choices to change the direction of Monsanto and others who wish to engage in genetic roulette and gamble with our lives. The Taste of Tea is a line of teas sourced by Tea Docents who believe all things are connected so we partner with farmers and producers who share our values and are guided by a deep respect for our planet, valuing people before profits. We were so very inspired to see so much important work being doing by so many passionate, informed and knowledgeable people. Many brands making the choices to simply “do the right thing” and others with no products at all simply dedicating time, energy and enthusiasm to help make a difference. This was our first year exhibiting and we were so humbled to serve visitors at The Taste of Tea booth from, Africa, Peru, Canada, Mexico, England as well as many out-of-state Americans. Billed as a National event, I can honestly say the Heirloom Exposition is truly an International event!
