“Tea mind,” as referenced by Steve Schwartz, is the simple, celebratory act of serving tea and has well-documented, powerful health and wellness benefits on a physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional level. Over the years, researchers have discovered how the ingredients in a cup of tea can lift mood, improve focus, and perhaps even ward off depression and dementia.  The combination of this simple act paired with quality ingredients lends itself to a 360 welness experience.   Master Tea Blender and Founder and CEO of Art of Tea, Steve Schwartz, in large part, has based his career on his belief in the powerful benefits of tea and is on a mission to impact as many lives as possible through tea. Steve lost his mother at an early age, and the tragic loss lead him on a path to discover and explore wellness. He found Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical system based on ancient writings that rely on a “natural” and holistic approach to physical and mental health.   Steve begins our conversation with a proper tea tasting experience, giving both myself and listeners a snapshot of the art of tasting tea. We get properly grounded, present, and activate our tea minds. He shares his own philosophy around healthy living, which he pulls from his studies of Ayurvedic practices. Steve also provides insight into his travels in search of the perfect product, as well as the numerous lives he gets to interact with along the way.   Grab yourself a cup of tea, get grounded, and enjoy episode 61 with Steve Schwartz, Founder and CEO of Art of Tea.   ?Special offer to On The Pass listeners. 20% off discountable Art of Tea products through June 21st with code ONTHEPASS20   For more info on Art of Tea: http://bit.ly/3nXgqxK     Follow Art of Tea on Instagram: http://bit.ly/3MCHeh3     Check out Steve's Book: http://bit.ly/3o5ikMT     Follow On The Pass on Instagram: http://bit.ly/3Kvgm1n     Follow our Host, Gabriel Ornelas on Instagram: http://bit.ly/3YS964b     Read Gabriel's Articles: http://bit.ly/3SnOsGG     Lets work together!
