"We are excited to partner with the heart health heroes of The Hope Heart Institute and their respected role in the elimination and prevention of cardiovascular and related diseases," states Tea Forte Marketing Director Jane Whitman. "With our new TEAS FOR THE HEART collection we hope to help call attention to the importance of protecting your heart from cardiovascular disease, which takes more lives than the next four causes of death combined."

"This is a very exciting partnership for The Hope Heart Institute because green tea has proven to have so many health benefits," said Mark Nudelman, President and CEO of The Hope Heart Institute.  "Research has also shown that drinking green tea helps to lower the risk of heart disease. People who drink green tea have better blood vessel function in just 30 minutes."
