THE ZARAFINA^® BRAND INTRODUCES THE ART OF TEA MAKING TO A NEW GENERATION

- Allows consumers to enrich the everyday with a total tea-centric solution -

Boca Raton, FL – October 10th, 2006 – As consumers continue to embrace tea and the ritual of tea drinking, the Zarafina^® brand promises to introduce the art of tea making to a new generation. Tea lovers who appreciate quality and those small infusions of pleasure will now be able to enhance their everyday experiences with close friends and family to create a total tea experience.

The world of tea is one of richness and exploration. But it’s also one of subtlety and precision. Different types of tea require vastly different times and temperatures to steep properly, and traditional kettles and tea pots do not allow consumers to easily control steeping time and temperature. With its innovative technology, only the Zarafina^® Tea Maker Suite provides a complete tea solution to achieve the ideal union of time and temperature, allowing consumers to experiment with the fusion of leaves and water and enjoy a range of premium loose or bagged teas to match any mood and taste.

An enriching tea experience begins by experimenting with a variety of tastes and aromas. The Zarafina^® single-estate tea collection represents an assortment of rare and exotic tea infusions – including Gold Monkey Black Tea, Osmanthus Herbal Tea, Wuyi Oolong Rock Tea, White Needle White Tea and Green Anji Green Tea. Each tea is designed to create a totally unique experience.

In early 2007, the Zarafina^® brand will launch an exclusive line of designer collectibles only available at zarafina.com. These limited edition tea cups will be designed by renowned industrial designer Scott Henderson. Similar to a renaissance artist, Henderson will unveil products that contemporize the art of tea making, a 5,000 year-old tradition.
