Organic Black Tea
Organic black tea have the same savory aroma and pleasant taste as many other black tea varieties. Organic black tea is different than the other tea varieties because it is grown in natural environment.
Black tea growing and processing keep the same methods for hundreds of years in ecological tea plantations from Asia. Organic agriculture is a strong method which protect natural resources rather than deplete. In these kind of tea you will not find any chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, chemical food additives or plant growth regulators.
Not only now this tea is made from Organic habits, but in the last three years there were no herbicides, insecticides or growth regulators on the land used for production. Farmers are using crop rotation, composting and other methods to sustain the soil and planet health.
Black tea is one of the most popular blend in our days. It have a strong dark color and good flavor. Consumed on a regular places it can replace the coffee. Medicine encourage people to drink organic black tea due to the following health benefits:
- Cardiovascular events is decreased
- Cancer prevention
- Heart attack and stroke reduction
- Half amount of caffeine than coffee

Gnocchi vegetarian - sweet dessert
Gnocchi italian food is based on potatoes but you can try all sort of flours. The recipe presented by Quick vegetarian recipe is very easy to cook. Sweet gnocchi are the best option for you dessert. Try this simple vegetarian recipe.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- potato
- plain flour
- sea salt
Directions:
Boil potatoes with their skins on in well salted water. When well
cooked drain, leave to cool slightly. Peel skins off & mash well, the finer the better, the potato will be dry & powdery. Add 1 part flour to 4 parts potato eg. 1000g potato needs 250g flour. Add salt if desired or herbs & spices. With hands mix well until a dough is formed. Transfer to a floured bench knead for a few minutes. Devide dough into workable portions. Roll into thin logs, approx. 1.5cm & chop along into 2cm pieces, put a fork mark on each put aside on floured tray. Boil a large pot of water drop gnocchi in, boil until
the gnocchi floats to the top count to 20 & take off the boil.
DO NOT OVERCOOK. Give a quick rinse under cold water serve immediately. My favourite is a pretty basic Napolitana sauce which is chopped garlic & onion sauted in olive oil basil, tomatoes, vegie stock & a few chopped sun dried tomatoes.
VERY IMPORTANT: A large part of the success of gnocchi is keeping the potatoes dry, that’s why their skins are kept on for boiling, a wet potato mixture will produce gluggy gnocchi.

Vegetarian advertising
Vegetarian sceptics suggest vegetarian lifestyle is more expansive than the non vegetarian one. If we are thinking that healthy food will give us more strength than the other and we wont go to doctors so much like other people, we will admit that vegetarian investment have a good ROI ( return of investment ) on long time .
Vegetarian advertising is complicated and expensive i can say. I have just analyzed some vegetarian advertising offers and i saw these prices:
468×90 banner 10$ for 1000 impression.
125×90 banner in sidebar 7$ for 1000 impression.
I think these prices for vegetarian advertising are making our products more expensive because the niche is not so big and it is strange to ask for 10$ for 1000 impression when the advertising from Google adsense wont bring you more than 3$ CPM.
But there are great ideas for other company to exploit the financial recession. For example some green sites are moving to a green hosting. Do you really think that hosting company is green? I dont think so. They are just promoting their hosting services using the new trend: green lifestyle.
In Germany a long term vegetarian advertising had wonderful results, because the meat consume was lower with 10% in 10 years. Even if the vegetarian advertising is expensive, a great idea will bring you the success in a vegetarian business.
