Saturday November 8th is fight day at Artisan Tea Bar. Located at 3578 Fraser Street, Artisan is prepared for an all day battle beginning at 11am to 7pm where proceeds raised from loose leaf tea sales will benefit the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Supported by allied forces, there will also be a silent auction, with fabulous prizes from many local businesses such as Graze Restaurant, JJ Bean and Charm Nail Spa, to bid on. A beautiful Stella & Dot pop up display of jewelry and other accessories will be available for  purchase, with funds to be donated.

A Vancouver tea bar owner who has had personal losses from cancer knows what other families are going through so he is organizing a day dedicated to fight this on-going battle. “Let’s do something about it!,” says Phong Vo of Artisan Tea Bar. “Not only does the foundation works towards finding a cure, but supports patients and help their families cope – a crucial human factor because this affects everyone. I want to bring awareness, especially the importance of early detection. I want  to encourage healthier choices like drinking tea because of the antioxidants which have been shown to assist in combating free radicals. Let’s do our part to contribute to ending this horrible illness.”

Numerous research have shown the antioxidants found in teas help prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular diseases. Factors such as pollution, radiation and herbicides can spawn free radicals, which are incomplete molecules that attack healthy ones resulting in damages that becomes a chain reaction.

Three great ways to donate to one great cause, so come to Artisan Tea Bar to shop for  someone special or just to treat yourself.
