Show and Tell: Yogi Tea

Our story begins in 1969 when Yogi Bhajan, an inspired and inspiring teacher of holistic living, started teaching yoga in America. He shared the wisdom and knowledge of Ayurveda and healthy living that he had mastered in India with his students while serving a specially spiced tea, which they affectionately named "Yogi Tea." The recipe contained five traditional Ayurvedic spices: cardamom seed, cinnamon bark, clove bud, ginger root and black pepper. When blended and brewed, these delicious spices leave you feeling vibrant and alive, while boosting overall well-being. Intrigued by the complex flavor and inherent health benefits of this unique combination of spices, it wasn't long before several of the yogi's students were inspired to brew their own "Yogi Tea."

In 1984 this grassroots endeavor blossomed into the Yogi Tea Company. Packages of the rough, dried spices began to appear in natural foods stores throughout Southern California. As demand increased, the spices were more finely ground, packaged and sealed into individual tea bags. By 1986, Yogi Tea was distributed nationwide in three flavors.

Yogi has continued to expand and evolve our tea offerings to address specific health needs by creating specialized herbal formulas, blended for both flavor and purpose. Today, Yogi has nearly 60 tea blends, many of which are created using the five original Yogi spices.

Yogi's expertise in sensual well-being has inspired our newest offering, Yogi cereals. As with our teas, Yogi cereals are created with purpose and blended to enhance the health of mind, body and spirit, while enlivening your senses with delightful flavors.

Whether you need to jump start the day, recover from physical activity, calm your mind and clarify thoughts, or revive the spirit and reflect, there's a Yogi tea or cereal to meet your specific needs.

The holistic teachings of Ayurveda and healthy living are the inspiration behind Yogi. These teachings continue to inform how we develop our products, and we honor and reflect them through the Yogi Principles.
Yogi Principles

* Tasting great is essential, but it isn't enough. If what we make doesn't taste great and leave you feeling great, we won't make it.
* We think before we blend or bake. How will our recipes work with body and mind?
* Health is found in nature. We work with what nature already offers rather than trying to concoct it. We don't have laboratories, we have kitchens.
* Creative combinations can optimize what nature has to offer. Ever added Goji Berry to Ginger? They work together to produce a remarkably fresh and innovative taste... and a remarkable level of energy.
* Whenever possible, we work with wholes, not parts. We don't add vitamin C. We add Indian Gooseberry, which is naturally rich in vitamin C.

Narrative Project 4 - Hampton

I got a private tour of Hampton on Monday. It's amazing what they show (and give) you when you tell them you are working on a project for school. Actually it was very informative to my story and I got to see things most visitors don't, which was super fun. Deborah Patterson who is the Registar there, gave me some fantastic photos to use for this project. Here is a photo she gave me of a woman, most likely a slave standing by the farmhouse and slave quarters. Next to that photo is a photo I took on Monday of the same area. It's quite amazing!

Project 4 Narrative

Rewritten and hopefully more interesting.
-------------------------------------------------------
“It has been truly said of Hampton that it expresses more grandeur than any other place in America.” – Henry Winthrop Sargent 1859

The lustrous Georgian style mansion located in Towson, Maryland is an extravagant example of 200 years of American history. Lush gardens and elegant symmetry define a family’s flourishing success, while surviving slave quarters present significant blueprints of slave history.

The Ridgely family accumulated a vast fortune in iron. Northampton ironworks (established in 1761) mined iron ore deposits from what is today the Loch Raven Reservoir. Owner Captain Charles Ridgely (1733-1790) and wife Rebecca Dorsey Ridgely (1738-1812) saw their fortune triple, producing cannons, camp kettles, and slave chains during the American Revolutionary War.

Boasting his substantial wealth, Captain Ridgely began construction on Hampton Hall in August 1783. Fashioned after Greek and Roman buildings, the mansion is styled with classical pilasters, pediment doors and windows, and pinkish stucco.

With the closure of Northampton ironworks in 1829, Hampton turned into an agricultural estate consisting of approximately 5,000 acres. Wheat, corn and fruit orchards populated the farmland. Many enslaved Africans and indentured servants supported the task of running the agricultural empire.

Dwindled to 2,293 acres by 1843, Hampton included roughly 35 out buildings for maintaining the property. Along with the mansion, a farmhouse, orangery, icebox, stable, and burial vault contributed to the village-like setting.

Moving from the Reconstruction area (1865) into the 20^th century brought on great challenges. With declining profits from farming, the Ridgelys were unable to meet the demands of the mansion. Proposing a solution in 1929, John Ridgely Jr. (last master of Hampton) created the Hampton Development Company to sell off parcels of land.

As a consequence for selling parcels of land, encroaching suburbs threatened Hampton. Continuing financial problems also made it difficult to maintain the monumental estate. Frightened of meddling suburbs and Hampton’s deterioration, the Ridgelys sold the mansion, furnishings and remaining acres to the National Park Service in 1947.

The National Park Service embarked on a $1 million dollar renovation project in the spring of 2007. To ensure preservation of the mansion’s historical artifacts, NPS installed heating and cooling systems, and a fire suppression system. Museum-like care was given to over 7,000 objects that were emptied from the home [first time in 200 years] and catalogued.

With the mansion closed due to the renovation, two stone slave quarters opened to the public for the first time. The exhibition brought light to the daily life led by Hampton slaves and indentured servants. Visitors viewed information on their diet, clothing, family relationships, living conditions, and attempts at escape.

Renovations are constantly happening at Hampton. Each room in the mansion represents a time period during the Ridgley’s inhabitance. Extensive research is done to ensure historical accuracy. From the wallpaper to carpet, every detail is examined closely. Changes such as furniture placement are made to the rooms to account for better authenticity.To guarantee an accurate depiction of the Drawing Room, a reproduction of the original 1849 carpet was completed and installed in 2008.

With many more restoration projects in progress, Hampton’s history will stay intact for generations to come. Hampton serves as a reminder that our cultural connections run parallel. While enslaved Africans and indentured servants managed Hampton, Hampton preserved their legacies.

Show & Tell: Vapor

I completely forgot to post my typography show and tell. I brought in Vapor magazine. I love their font.







The font they use inside the mag says to me that they are edgy. "Hey look we are using a font that you probably know, but wait, we're gonna change it up a bit."





You can read the magazine online. It's pretty cool. You can flip the pages and they make a sound! If this doesn't work, you can go here and click through to find the edition you want.
