Meet Toronto based, Sara Bonham
Armed with her Masters in Chemistry, her day job for years was to analyze material goods & packaging for industry and to find eco-friendly options - eg., making plastic packaging more biodegrable and/or quicker to compost.
However, working in a lab constantly exposed to chemicals took its toll on her despite protective gear:
Even with a respirator on, lab coat, high end safety gloves and goggles, my skin would break out in rashes and go all red around my neck. It was both embarrassing and scary for me. As amazing as the job was, my body just couldn't hack it.
Thus, she started paying more and more attention to living a chemical free lifestyle.
A few years later, she started looking at combining 2 of her passions - chemical free / detox with her favourite past time, Tea - aka 'teatox'
For instance, Sara developed Varicose Vein tea because:
I found that after long hours travelling abroad and sitting at work, it seemed as though my legs were getting stiff and more prone to veins. A lady in my office developed a blood clot from too much sitting and that was the final straw - thus, Vein Vanish tea was born out of necessity.
The nice thing I like about her tea is that as a food scientist, Sara understands the chemistry of each ingredient that goes into each of her teas.
As an advocate for organic lifestyle, her detox tea has no artificial dyes, flavours and additives that you see in a lot of the tea's on the market today.
I invite you to join me and try Sara's tea
Dihan.
