Argo Tea A New College Favorite

Argo Tea A New College Favorite image via www.bergensign.com As college students, we know that eating healthy is the way to go. But with so many things to cram into our day with such little time, it is sometimes hard to go for healthy options because we are just shooting for something convenient that will make our stomach stop making dying whale noises. You shouldn’t have to give up healthy choices for convenience and this is where Argo Tea steps in. According to this press release, Argo Tea realizes that college students are in demand of healthy food and beverage options, and is there to make it happen. “We provide students with great-tasting options that will fuel their bodies and minds with ingredients that will keep them healthy and happy,” said  Arsen Avakian, Founder and CEO of Argo Tea. When it comes to healthy options, the dining halls just aren’t cutting it for students. According to Natasha Emerson, a first year environmental studies student at UC Santa Cruz, “the dining halls really need healthier options because they always just have burgers and hotdogs and many other greasy food items.” This is why there is no question as to why so many students gain the freshman 15. If there is nothing else around, students have to settle for what the dining hall has to offer. Sometimes students would rather skip a meal than consume the unhealthy food they are offered, which is never good for you health wise. Emerson also mentioned that “some people are vegetarians and therefore don’t have a wide selection.” I’m a vegetarian, and I definitely agree that there are limited options to what we can eat. image via www.nycstylelittlecannoli.com At Argo Tea, they not only have wonderful drinks, but also offer a “wide selection of raw, vegan, and gluten-free foods that are baked and prepared in-store daily.” Now that sounds like a health conscious café! Rebecca Wood, a fourth year environmental studies major at UC Santa Cruz, mentioned she would like to see dining halls pulling more food from local places. “I know that the dining hall gets a small amount of their produce from local places and therefore have some organic choices, but I would like to see our campus supporting our local food system and getting more food from the farmers in the area,” Wood said. Organic is all the rage and this is yet another plus of Argo Tea. They use all-natural, real ingredients in all of their products. Addressing Wood’s second point about local farmers, Argo Tea works with “the best local and global tea, coffee, and food artisans.” Killing two birds with one stone, Argo Tea is sounding better and better (tea break anyone?) Now, I don’t have an Argo Tea close by, so I decided to check Yelp for some customer reviews. So many consumers are raving about it and are dubbing it the Starbucks for tea drinkers. Taking a look at their menu, this is definitely a perfect description (their  food  options were making my mouth water and the  drinks  look to die for). image via brightsign.biz Have a sweet tooth? Their pastries will satisfy it without a bunch of heavy calories. As Avakian mentioned, “at Argo Tea, we deliver all-natural, real ingredients and smart calories.” That means yummy, guilt-free goodies for you to indulge in! Tea is widely regarded as healthy, but specific teas can  boost antioxidants and fight cancer-causing free radicals  â€"  and Argo makes it taste amazing, said Jill Lawrence, Director of Cafe Marketing for Argo Tea. There is no doubt then why Argo Tea is becoming so popular among college students. When buying from Argo Tea, students can have the healthy life style they desire all with time to spareno sacrifices necessary. For you coffee lovers, don’t think that Argo Tea left you out. Along with their tea collection, Argo Tea also features delicious organic coffee, that they say even makes their tea jealous! Whatever you’re craving, Argo Tea will be able to satisfy it. Argo Tea is located on ten college campus areas and is scheduled to open on more very soon. This is definitely something that all students should be excited about (I vote for one to open in Santa Cruz!). Argo Tea also features their most popular drinks in ready-to-drink bottles at more than 10,000 retailers, so you’ll be able to get your hands on the tea in no time. image via retaildesignblog.net Argo Tea focuses on: CommuniTEA, DiversiTEA, SustainabiliTEA, ChariTEA, QualiTEA, and CreativiTEA (how cute is that?). So when you go to Argo Tea, not only are you fueling yourself with quality, you have the peace of mind knowing that they care about the world around them and the people in it. Were all about one cup and one customer at a time and this is how weve become the  largest tea café chain in the world â€" serving 10 million cups of tea annually, Lawrence said. So if you have an Argo Tea close by, now you know that you HAVE to go try it! They let you sample their drinks before you buy, so you’ll know that whatever you choose is going to be delish.
