The Tea Spot has announced its foray into a new category of loose leaf teas and tea gifts – those intended to assist with weight loss. This extension of The Tea Spot’s line of premium teas falls within the scope of company’s mission of fostering health and wellness by making loose leaf tea an everyday luxury.

The Tea SpotAccording to Maria Uspenski, The Tea Spot’s CEO, “one of our primary wellness objectives is to help people find attractive sugar-free and fat-free beverage options. With Americans (alone) consuming upwards of 25% of their caloric intake in drinks, healthier beverage choices in our diets are a must in order to help fight obesity, pre-diabetes, and many other avoidable health concerns. The time for tea to take its role as a natural and healthy beverage is now.”

For those tea drinkers looking to slim down, whether for health reasons or just to enter the upcoming bikini season with more confidence, certain premium teas are becoming a popular choice. Even wellness gurus on national television are advocating white teas, green teas, oolong teas, pu’erh tea, and blends of these, for daily consumption. Loose green tea and yerba mate are natural appetite suppressants, and have been widely touted for their ability to assist the body in inhibiting the production of fat cells. All caffeinated teas also provide a boost to exercise-induced weight loss, further stimulating the destruction of fat through exercise.

The Tea Spot’s most popular loose leaf tea with alpinists, “Climber’s High”, is a blend of premium black, green and white leaf teas, pu’erh tea plus yerba mate and chai spices. It was originally conceived to help with high-altitude adjustment, but has since become one of The Tea Spot’s top selling blends due to its high energy effects and full flavor.

The Tea Spot has several tea gift sets for consumers looking to tea for weight loss.

“Secret of the Skinny” is a set of three of green and white teas, specially selected to help adopt the habit of drinking fresh loose leaf tea daily so as to help with staying away from calorie-laden beverages and help boost your metabolism. The teas that make up the “Secret of the Skinny” tea gift set are The Tea Spot’s most popular and touted green tea blends: Meditative Mind – an aromatherapeutic blend of green and white teas and green tea jasmine pearls; Boulder Blues – a citrus-like blend of green teas, strawberry and rhubarb flavors; and Thin Mint Green – The Tea Spot’s highest antioxidant signature blend, made of roasted green tea and peppermint.

“Green Tea Cleanse” is collection of four green teas that combines the health benefits of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and antioxidant EGCG to help fight free radicals. Each of the premium greens in this set is unique in flavor, caffeine level, and benefit, to fit one’s antioxidant and energetic needs throughout a cleansing without disturbing sleep. The teas that make up the “Green Tea Cleanse” are Organic Sencha, Genmaicha, Hojicha, and Matcha.

Tea drinking dieters who are looking for a 100% Certified Organic option can go with The Tea Spot’s “Organic Skinny Teas” collection of three loose green teas specially selected for tea drinkers who are looking to suppress their appetite and boost their metabolism. The three organic whole leaf green teas included in the “Organic Skinny Teas” tea gift set are: Jasmine Petals organic green tea – organic green tea leaves blended with organic jasmine flower petals creating an aromatherapeutic experience; Clouds and Mist organic green tea – an assertive and smoky green tea that develops over time to a soft and buttery finish; and Organic Sencha green tea – a traditional Japanese-style green tea with flat, dark green tea leaves with a balanced flavor profile reminiscent of fresh cut grass and seaweed.

The Tea Spot is a for-profit philanthropic business producing handcrafted loose leaf teas and Steepware – the tools that make loose tea easy. It was founded in 2004.

In the dynamic world of fashion, where trends rise and fall in the blink of an eye, only a few pieces have achieved icon status, transcending the decades. But in 2024, PUMA did just that as it brought back a timeless original: the PUMA Speedcat.

This shoe effortlessly blends the nostalgic and the cool style of the 90s with a sleek and modern flair, making it the year’s ultimate choice of footwear. 

A 90s Classic, Reborn

Launched in 1999, the PUMA Speedcat was originally crafted to support the F1 drivers on the race track, thus becoming a symbol of speed, precision, and unparalleled performance. Known for its low-profile silhouette and minimalist aesthetic, this sneaker oozed effortless style, quickly becoming a street-style favorite. Fast forward to 2024, and PUMA has masterfully reimagined this classic, injecting it with modern touches that appeal to today’s fashion-forward crowd.

The latest edition of the PUMA Speedcat retains its signature slim silhouette and suede upper, but with subtle enhancements that bring it into the modern era. This includes an improved rubber sole with IMEVA material for maximum comfort. 

Design tweaks on the 2024 version of the PUMA Speedcat also include the embossed PUMA logo on the shoe’s toebox. Offered in the original red and black colorway, this edition of the PUMA Speedcat offers a nod to contemporary trends while staying true to the sneaker’s roots.

An Absolute Fashion Must-Have 

The buzz around the PUMA Speedcat goes beyond its nostalgic appeal. This timeless footwear has been making an appearance in the streetwear circuit, with fashion-leaning celebrities and influential content creators being spotted rocking the sneaker. Among them, American actress and model Emily Ratajkowski, who has more than successfully integrated the PUMA Speedcat in her casual streetstyle, looking flawless as ever whether she’s off-duty or while she’s hopping from one place to another during New York Fashion Week.

A-List trendsetter, Heart Evangelista, was also seen walking the streets of Paris during Paris Fashion Week donning the PUMA Speedcat in the iconic red colorway. She also wore the sneaker when she attended a charity event for the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), emphasizing the style versatility of the PUMA Speedcat.

Also seen sporting the PUMA Speedcat are model, actress, and beauty queen Kylie Versoza; husband-and-wife sneakerheads, Jeff Ong and Rhea Bue; and fashion content creator Ida Anduyan. The sneaker’s understated design has resonated with those who favor a more effortless, cool aesthetic. The PUMA Speedcat’s simplicity offers a fresh alternative, making it the perfect pairing for either casual or chic ensembles.

Limited Availability, Unlimited Appeal

The PUMA Speedcat continues to make its rounds in the streets and in fashion spaces, further fueling the demand for the iconic shoe. The resurgence of the PUMA Speedcat has only further intensified as more people recognize its potential to be the ultimate sneaker drop of 2024, with its blend of retro cool and modern design that is truly hard to resist.

With the rising popularity of the PUMA Speedcat and limited stocks available, the trendsetting sneaker is flying off the shelves at speeds faster than one can say, “icon.”
