Libre… loose leaf tea on the go

This piece is by my dad – written 3 years ago in celebration of Canada Day. He’s such a creative guy and a lovin spirit… so hope you enjoy

A Toast To Canada

Here’s to Canada, land of the free;

Daily life starts with coffee or tea

In winter we freeze; in summer we cook;

In April, the tax man throws us the book.

September is gorgeous, bug season has passed;

Lake water’s still warm and the sail’s up the mast.

For tennis and golf our weather’s divine;

On political guff, our friends still opine.

Here’s to Canada where discussion’s our style;

Guns and violence are not worth our while.

We argue, we listen, our points do come clear;

And mostly its done with mighty good cheer.

Here’s to Canada, our land that we praise;

May peace be among us for the rest of our days.

Our nation’s dynmaic, our people real smart;

Raise a glass to Canada, a land that has heart.

thanks dad for being canadian

i’m so grateful to live in this land of Canada.

Chris Giddings the tea guy recently attended the Tea Expo in Las Vegas and he was given a couple of travel tea infusers to try out and he reviewed against the Libre tea glass. We’ve got good news – Libre’s experience was great and came out on top. www.tea-guy.com

We thank Chris very much for this great review and hope you’ll take time to read – truly if you ar a ‘ loose leaf ‘ on-the-go person you’ll want to know more

We would like to advise that we are recommending that lids of new Libre glass’n poly glasses be soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes only before first use. This is a temporary situation with new lids now being made.

Recent research advised a very small trace of BPA upon first use only. This is not a health concern.

The level found was more than 2000 times less than the Canadian daily allowable intake of BPA. A full notice with more details is available here Notice to libre customers.

Although it is a very small trace amount and only on first use, we wanted to communicate our findings.

We recommend that retailers place a sticker on the top of the Libre box advising to soak 10 minutes in boiling water before first use and we are communicating with our retailers now.

We regret this inconvenience and do appreciate your understanding.

New lids will be available in June – please contact us at info@libretea.com for further information.

the meeting space is coming along nicely for the toronto yoga show. and  evolving hopefully as an accurate respresentation of what libre speaks to – a place within that knows  freedom.

i do love yoga as it renews me and that resulting clarity helps me to see better – i think yoga is a great health tonic, good for the mind and the body.

btw some great yoga organsations – Yoga Outreach (fundraising weekend at a squamish retreat May 28-30)  bringing yoga to prisons with volunteer teachers and Yoga Bear providing yoga to women in the cancer process – we have supported both and look to get further involved.

the practicalities of the yoga show are about the meeting space – standard displays ensure a cookie cutter so a little creativity by ‘architectural colour’ and together have created a meeting place – it sounds fun and i look forward to a great time ahead.

with great thanks to a long time friend, karen who will accompany me on this journey to the Toronto yoga show – thanks dear heart

so i do hope you will introduce yourself if you do come toronto and enjoy lots of yoga, say hi

wit respect, thanks for this opportunity to create and connect
