New Leaf Ice Tea Review


This new company from New York has a few things in common with Leafygreen.info. If you notice their logo and modern font choices, looks very similar. I can’t take credit for that, I did not design it, yet I do enjoy looking at it. I can testify however, that so far, the two teas that I’ve tried are very good. They offer three colors of tea: Green, White and Blue. White tea is the lightest and cleanest of the tea family. Green is the more flavorful, chock full of anti-oxidants of the family and the blue teas are typically referred to as Oolong tea.

I drank the Lemon Blue today. It completely hit the spot. It was smooth, not overbearingly citrusy and a perfect compliment with my hummus for lunch. I also had the HoneyDew Melon which if you recall, Inko has as well. It’s a white tea also. Compared to the Inko Tea, which I liked very much, this is a little sweeter. The Inko Teas were very light. The New Leaf Ice Tea is a little more robust, but yet not too powerful or sugary. There are organic sweeteners added besides the Honeydew. I prefer the New Leaf compared to the Inko’s in terms of the Honeydew tea.

There will be more reviews to come, but in the meantime, check them out today.

    SOYJOY

    SOYJOY.com offers free samples. It only took about three weeks to get them, but they finally arrived. Their packaging is nice looking, but I really can’t say much for the product. It’s quite stale tasting. They call these nutrition bars because they are packed with tons of healthy goodnesses, but they are not that good at all. They are dry and kind of taste like kosher for passover cookies. Hey, you never know though, go to soyjoy.com and order your free trial, you may just like them.

    Newman’s Own Organics Hermits

    Newman’s Own Organics recently added Hermits to their growing line of organic products. This spicy, fruity snack cookie is not only chewy but hearty. It’s a filling cookie. That’s for sure. The Original flavor is made with organic raisins, whole wheat flour, molasses, figs and sweetened with sugar. I’d recommend trying them. They are like a soft-baked cookie, but without chocolate.

    Planet Truth: Bringing out the truth via edgy, urban, organic shirts

    Planet Truth’s mission is to inform the world via edgy, urban, organic shirts. Their philosophy is listed here. The Australian based company really strives on being cool, ethical, angry, outageous, daring, rad, sick, rebellious, true, mad, honest and real. I think they get their point across. My shirt came packaged in reycled paper with some papers full of good information for your mind. It was all about the world and the clothing Planet Truth offers. It was a perfect match for the shirt. The medium fits well, however it’s not American Apparel sized and it’s not Hanes either. The organic cotton felt lighter in the weight, but rougher on the skin, yet a good rough. I felt more real and clean wearing it.

    I got a few looks from the shirt, but that is the point. I’m wearing a skull in a UPC, so I definitly stand out. Check out the site, there’s so much information about their goals, missions, stances, ideology, etc. The shirts are in Australian dollars, so use google or whatnot to convert the rates.

    Kristy, the owner of Planet Truth, just added a spot to type in where you came from. Don’t forget to include Leafygreen.info as the referrer. It may just help you!

    Bhoj Indian Restaurant Review

    On Sunday, I treated myself to one of my new favorite types of food. I placed an order to Bhoj in Elmwood Park, NJ. I ordered my staple, Saag Panner, mixed vegetable Pakora, garlic naan and Masala Dosa. I love Saag Paneer, which is spinach and homemade Indian cheese in a creamy sauce. Paneer is sometimes referred to as cottage cheese, but it’s cubed and not gross. The Panner from Bhoj is always good. Not super hot, but not weak either. The cheese is soft and flavorful. I can taste the garlic and the creamyness of the sauce makes for a perfect combo. Pakora is a fried mixture of veggies battered usually in a chick pea flour. I love to eat it with the mint chutney and the sweet chutney. It’s sweet, hot and minty all at once. The garlic naan is always good. I normally get the plain naan, but I decided to go all out this time. Masala Dosa was a new edition for me. It’s unusually amazing. It’s a pancake of sorts filled with potatoes and onions. The pancake is made from rice and lentils. It’s served with a spicy soup and a coconut chutney. I hate coconut, so I did not like the chutney, but the soup was amazing. It had carrots, whole lentils, okra and some veggies that I could not figure out. It was amazing. The sambar or soup was a tomato and lentil soup but with HEAT! The Dosa was a new item to try and I’m glad that I did. It was really good, especially for lunch the next day.

    Bhoj is an amazing Indian restaurant. I met the owner, Sunny Chadha. We spoke for a few minutes and he is in the process of offering organic items as well, so keep on eye out for that in the future. Their vegetarian selections outweigh their non-vegetarian selections. I’d suggest going any time of the day, but they do have a really nice lunch buffet.

    So rejoice, Bhoj will crave your North Jersey Indian food hunger pains. It’s located on Market Street in Elmwood Park in the shopping center with Dunkin Donuts and Music Connection.

    If you’ve never tried Indian food before, go for it. Try something less exciting like Aloo Gobhi, potatoes and cauliflower with herbs and spices. If you like that, you’ll be hooked.

    So, check out Bhoj and tell Sunny that Leafygreen sent ya!
