The Pink Tea Garden | A Health & Well-Being Event

A partly sunny and breezy day set the perfect backdrop for the Pink Tea Garden organised on the 12th of April at Vincent's Eco Estate, a secluded little gem in one of the most traditional villages in Malta, Mġarr. The event was supposed to take place a week before but since weather conditions were not favourable, the team behind it postponed the event and I was really glad as I could make it this time round!

I made my way there together with Thereseanne from A Blonde On The Go and we made the most of the afternoon in this idyllic setting! The event centered around a health and well-being theme and there were stalls from different vendors which have to do with out health and well-being, and there was a program of different talks, of which we attended two - one about different teas and tisanes hosted by Tettiera and a skin care workshop by Ellie & Carl.

This event is the first of it's kind and was organised by Pink magazine in collaboration with Tettiera, a local artisanal tea leaves brand. All sorts of aspects pertaining to our health and well-being were there under one 'roof' - healthy foods, skin care, aromatherapy and of course tea!

Both the Tettiera Tea Talk and the Ellie & Carl skin care workshop offered a deeper insight into two of my favourite subjects. For example did you know that green tea has a moderate caffeine level, black tea has a high level and white tea has almost none? I also learnt a new skin care technique with supposed medicinal benefits according to Chinese medicine - Gua Sha. Through the use of a specially shaped tool, the skin is massaged or 'scraped', to encourage blood flow and help in toxin removal from the body. I look forward to trying out myself!

We also had the chance to sample foods from Good Earth, vegan dishes from Dr. Juice, sweets by Jo's Delights as well as the new Perrier Strawberry flavour! The garden's beauty was further brought out by decorations from Mediterranean Ceramics and Daniel Grech's beautiful floral blooms.

All this could not have been possible without the help of all these sponsors and participants: Alpro, Brown’s Pharmacy, Camilleri Caterers, Dical House, Dr Juice, Ellie & Carl, Farmer’s Deli, Good Earth, Honey & Zest, Jo’s Delights, Mint Health, My Melts My Remedies, Myoka Spas, Nupo, Perrier, Sanya, Saz Mifsud, Thalgo, The Health Store, Vincent’s Eco Farm and Nestlé’s Yes.
