Are you a fan of loose tea? If you are you will really like this review and if you are not familiar with loose tea, I still think you will want to read this review. Tiesta Tea is a story about four friends who have put their complete faith in loose-leaf tea, and how this all-natural necessity has never steered them wrong. From childhood friends to a wild weekend in Prague, they never thought tea would be their calling. It was in some tiny Czech teahouse that they got hooked on loose-leaf tea. Three months later, they started making their own. Their professors and parents thought they were nuts, but a couple of friends believed in them, blending tea in exchange for pizza and beer. They’re a tight-knit crew that keeps it simple; all-natural loose-leaf tea blends with real fruits and herbs. They tell you what matters: what it does for you, what it tastes like, and how to make it. So what’s stopping you? Get rid of those boring ol’ tea bags and dive in, because once you get loose, you’ll never go bagged.
I was sent three different teas and a tea ball from Tiesta Tea to sample. I made the tea in my coffee and tea maker that has an infuser. The teas all smell great and so fresh and are very different than any bag tea. The Immunity Kiwi Cherry Bonanza looks more like trail mix than tea but it tastes great iced especially on the hot summer days we are having. The Minty Winter Wonderland is a rooibos tea that is a relaxer and great to help you unwind after a tough day. The Strawberry Exotica is a white tea and quite refreshing cold and great hot as well. They have so many great flavors and kinds it is so hard to choose so you just have to try them all!!!

Randy Orton
“Get a look at greatness!”
WWE superstar Randy Orton isn’t a stranger to WWE Films and this June he’ll be hitting Blu-ray for the sports entertainment company in the action thriller 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded. This is the second installment in the franchise. The first 12 Rounds film was released in 2009 and starred WWE superstar and Heavyweight Champion John Cena. Orton, a former WWE Heavyweight Champion himself, takes over the lead role in the sequel.
Before his big screen career, Randy made his debut in WWE back in 2001. Orton is the youngest wrestler to become “World Heavyweight Champion” at the age of only 24. He has also won World Tag Team Championship teaming up with Edge. This Legend Killer is also winner of 2009 Royal Rumble. Randy was the Ex-Member of group Evolution which consists of Triple H, Ric Flair and Dave Batista.
John Cena
“I haven’t backed down from a fight in my life, and I won’t start tonight.”
He’s part wrestler, part rapper. And he’s successful in both endeavors, cutting rap tracks and winning several titles in the ring, including the WWE Championship. Still wrestling in the WWE and its biggest star, Cena has made modest successes out of his WWE-produced starring roles in The Marine and 12 Rounds, and although his acting prowess has yet to be truly tested, there’s no denying the current popularity of the 113kg Massachusetts native on the big screen.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson
“Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?”
By far the most successful actor with a wrestling background, The Rock has firmly cemented his status as a full-fledged action star and a charismatic actor with considerable chops. The Rock made his big-screen debut in The Mummy Returns, which was so well received in the fans-sphere, that it led to spin-off/prequel film centering around his character The Scorpion King. He later starred in the often underrated actioner The Rundown, an update of Walking Tall, and the videogame-based sci-fi flick, Doom. Most recently he featured in Fast and Furious 5 and 6 along with leading the GI Joe sequel – GI Joe Retaliation.
Steve Austin
“That’s the Bottom Line Cause Stone Cold Said So!”
Voted the most popular WWE superstar ever by wrestling fans, Austin is a four-time WWE champion and Hall of Fame inductee. Since leaving the company, he has played the lead in a string of low-budget but popular action movies, such as The Condemned. He also appeared in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables and has a comedy role in the forthcoming Adam Sandler film Grown Ups 2.
Hulk Hogan
“Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania destroys you?”
Arguably the most famous wrestler ever, Hogan is a star of the 1980s and his name is synonymous with the industry. The inevitable film career brought mixed fortunes: a well-received cameo in Rocky III led to two starring roles in the 1990s comedies Suburban Commando and Mr Nanny, neither of which were loved by audiences or critics.
Jesse Ventura
“Wrestling is ballet with violence”
Jesse “The ‘Governing’ Body” Ventura has enjoyed a long and varied professional life as a wrestler, a Navy diver, and a successful politician. Ventura’s acting career is nothing to turn your nose up at either. First appearing in 1987’s Predator alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, he later went on to star in a number of genre films like Guardian of the Universe, DemolitionMan, Repossessed and teamed with Arnie again in The Running Man and Batman & Robin. Ventura made a memorable cameo as a “Man in Black” in the popular X-Files episode “Jose Chung’s ‘From Outer Space.'” After his stint as the governor of Minnesota, “The Body” returned to acting (kind of) in 2005, lending his voice to an unseen motivational speaker in Johnny Knoxville’s The Ringer.
