Teatulia - Save 20% on Green Tea!

According to the Colorado State Forest Service, there has been an outbreak of Rocky Mountain Pine Beetles since 1996, resulting in the loss of millions of trees in the Colorado forests. The beetles tunnel into live pines such as lodgepole, ponderosa, Scotch and limber pines and lay eggs. The larvae live off the tree from fall until summer when they form into new adults and exit the tree. During this process the beetle also transmits a fungus that contaminates and ultimately kills the tree. This process leaves behind a blue-green coloration in the wood.

Recent studies show that the infestation is only spreading and many more trees will continue to be affected. Coloradans are saddened by the destruction the pine beetles have created. The degradation of our forests not only has a monumental effect on nature but also the timber industry.

Using the beetle-kill wood instead of live pine whenever possible is important for the environment as well as in supporting local business, and a great option for creating gorgeous and incredibly unique pieces, both functional or for decoration and art. I have seen this beautiful wood used in kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and more.

In keeping with our strong commitment to sustainability, we at Teatulia are now offering retailers and food service partners display racks and tea chests made from the wood of pine trees killed by the Rocky Mountain Pine Beetle. We are making use of this beautiful pine wood, streaked with blues, greens and grays, to create attractive displays while helping to clear forests of millions of dead trees to help encourage new growth.

Keep your eye out for beetle-kill pine in use everywhere!

Growth Inhibition of Human Non-Small Lung Cancer Cells H460 By Green Tea and Ginger Polyphenols.

Anticancer Agents Med Chem. 2011 Oct 25.

Non small cell lung cancer is known to resist apoptotic stimuli of various antitumor agents and become progressively incurable. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the in vitro antineoplastic effect of polyphenols extracted from both green tea (GTPs) and ginger (GPs) on non-small cell lung cancer cells (NSCLC-NCI-H460).The direct antitumor effect of GTPs and GPs on H460 cells was assessed by investigating the proliferation rate, metabolic activity assay (MTT method) and the apoptotic effect (determined by an annexin V apoptosis assay). Also, the inhibition concentrations (IC(50)) of both extracts and the levels of P(53) and Bcl-2 proteins were determined.GTPs and GPs have inhibited the proliferation of H460 cells in a dose-dependent manner. At the end of treatment period (96 h) the cell population has decreased to 16% and 26% when treated with 80?g GTPs or GPs, respectively, compared to the untreated cells. The IC(50) values of both extracts were 32.9 and 55.5 mg/ml, respectively. GTPs was more effective in reduction of cell metabolic activity (measured by MTT assay), where cell count decreased to 22% compared to 64% in cells treated with similar concentration (80?g) of GPs. Lower concentration (20mg) of cisplatin induced 15% reduction in cell metabolic activity. Moreover, 80?g of GTPs and GPs extracts induced apoptosis by 71% and 39% of the living cells, respectively. The apoptotic effect of both extracts, especially GTPs, seems to be mediated by both P(53) and Bcl-2.

The study reports the antiproliferative and apoptosis-mediated cytotoxic effects of green tea and ginger polyphenolic extracts on human H460 cell line, indicating their promising chemopreventive effect against lung cancer.
