Health-Conscious Consumers and Tea Lovers Discover the Taste of the Sri Lankan (Ceylon) Mountains With New 'Srina' Organic Green Tea From MPGlobal Connect
09.26.06, 8:13 AM ET



Tea Is Grown in a 90-Acre Sri Lankan Rainforest, Untouched by Commercial Processing NEW YORK and BALTIMORE, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Natural Products Expo East -- MPGlobal Connect Inc. today announced the release of Srina, its new organic green tea from Sri Lanka that's hand-plucked by local women farmers, packaged using banana fibers and tea leaves and full of various healthful benefits.

Medical research indicates that green tea contains powerful anti-oxidants and numerous other health promoting ingredients, which aid in strengthening immunity, preventing premature aging, and promoting a healthy heart, according to John Weisburger of the American Health Foundation.

In addition to offering a variety of healthful benefits to consumers, MPGlobal's new Srina tea (pronounced sree-nah) offers consumers a truly unique, refreshingly organic taste that can be found high up in the Sri Lankan (Ceylon) mountains, said Monaqui Porter Young, MPGlobal's president and CEO. "We're trying to help people get back to drinking, eating and living the way nature intended -- naturally and organically," Porter Young said. "I've traveled and worked in Sri Lanka for four years to better understand the tea- making process to offer people the best tea this earth is capable of producing."

"My job is to ensure the authenticity that people come to expect from Ceylon tea and to be innovative with packaging, taste, and service," said Meraash Deen, MPGlobal's executive creative director. Deen, a native of Sri Lanka, has worked at Paradise Farm studying Organic farming and the tea making process.

Consumers who buy Srina tea will effectively be supporting the Paradise Community Project in Sri Lanka and helping small-scale farmers. The Project is committed to eco-friendly farming and offers these farmers above-average wages, a clean and safe working environment and training towards sustainable development using local natural resources.
