Eternally Nuts

Description

According to the dictionary, Eternally means, "without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing". So how long have people been eating nuts than? Let's just say.forever. The first known tools for cracking open nuts appeared during the Pleistocene period about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago. In case math ain't your strong suit, that's a long time.

Prehistoric Humans alive at the time discovered the value of eating nuts for nutrition, energy and protein. (Despite not knowing what any of those terms would have meant. We have modern science to thank for that.) In fact, historians believe that nuts were an important part of the human diet at the time, perhaps owing to the fact that they were transportable, roastable and delicious.

Flash forward a few million years and nuts are everywhere. In practically every country, society and civilization, traditions around the eating of nuts have taken solid root. As part of this tradition, we've blended Eternally Nuts to celebrate Mother Nature's hard shell. A nutty blend of almond and hazelnut notes rounded out with dried fruit and hibiscus, this is a tea anyone can love - Homo Sapiens, Homo Erectus, Cro Magnon, you name it. Go nuts!
