Ring in the New Year with Caffe D‘Vita’s Premium Cappuccino Drinks

/in , , , /by

The celebration of New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day dates back as far as 153 BC. The use of January 1st as the official date stems from Julius Caesar’s calendar reform back in 46 BC, when he switched the Roman calendar from a lunar-based system to a solar-based one. It was this calendar reformation that earned him the honor of having his birth month (July) named after him. While the date changed for a short while during the Middle Ages, January 1st has marked a new calendar year ever since.

2,056 years later, New Year’s still ushers in a high-spirited sense of renewal across the globe. Glasses clink and cheers ring high as people all over the world watch the infamous New Years Eve Ball drop over Times Square. Confetti will fly and noisemakers will sound through the crisp air as 2011 brings with it a fresh, optimistic energy–filled with the hope and promise of a fantastic new year.

Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai Tea Latte

/in , , , , , , /by

Caffe D’Vita Enchanted Chai Tea Latte: A Taste of India According to legend, an Indian king first introduced chai to his royal courts around 5,000 years ago. Originally, chai was used as cleansing tonic meant to alleviate a number of ailments.

The ancients, it turns out, were onto something. The antioxidants found naturally in black tea have been shown in some studies to help fight cancers, lower cholesterol, reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and lower blood pressure. These same studies suggest antioxidants are useful in preventing heart diseases and strokes while possibly boosting your immune system. When blended with ginger, chai can ward off colds, soothe the digestive and respiratory systems, and can even prevent motion sickness. Cinnamon can work as a stimulant to other herbs, enabling them to work faster.

Chai gradually became a popular recreational beverage. Recipes for chai (which derives from “cha”, the Chinese word for tea) change depending on the region and manner in which it is being served. Typically, however, chai is comprised of loose black tea leaves that are boiled with milk, water, and either honey or “Masala” sugar. There is a version, called Kashmiri chai, which is brewed with gunpowder tea (green tea where each leaf is rolled into a tiny pellet that resembles the gunpowder used in cannons).

Almost all chai–especially Masala Chai–is spiced with a unique combination of cinnamon, black pepper, anise, cloves, cardamom and ginger. It is also often prepared with almonds, saffron, vanilla, carob, and even licorice. In India, chai is brewed in huge kettles over small charcoal fires. The drink – which is served more frequently than even coffee – is then served in containers that are smashed afterwards. It is the unglazed aspect to the pots that provide an earthy flavor to the chai.

With the advent of the neighborhood coffeehouse trend, chai’s popularity continues to rise as more people come to appreciate its unique aroma and flavor. Caffe D’Vita’s Enchanted Chai Tea Latte provides a comforting blend of exotic teas, spices and milk that can be enjoyed anytime. Serve it hot, iced, or blended for the perfect premium Chai Frappe or it can be added to baked goods like muffins and cakes.

At Caffe D’Vita, you can pick between either classic spiced chai or vanilla chai. Each is delicious and can be purchased in either a two pound venpak bag (12 pounds total) or in single serve envelopes.

Caffe D’Vita remains dedicated to the idea of developing and producing only the finest premium products with outstanding customer service. We listen to our customers and we continue to pursue new and exciting products for your enjoyment.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie Recipe

/in , , /by

By Kara Mae Adamo

Walking briskly through the streets, you can smell it. The cinnamon brooms hung on doors – the smell of freshly brewed cappuccino and coffee. Leaves are just on the brink of changing – building up to their brilliant, fiery crescendo of light and color before the winter’s end. Brisk autumn wind has begun swirling through in the mornings and at night. Daylight is charmed with bright blue skies and light jackets.

Among the many images of fall, pumpkins rein king. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin soups, pumpkin ales and even pumpkin pancakes and pumpkin raviolis have shown up in restaurants and coffee houses from coast to coast. Served hot or cold, in dinner, desserts, or drinks, the spicy sweetness of pumpkin can be found everywhere. A North American native, the pumpkin has been an integral part of the holiday tradition for centuries.

Celebrate the season with Caffe D’Vita’s delicious recipe for a “Pumpkin Delight” smoothie. Made with their premium Vanilla Base Cream Smoothie, this recipe will be sure to delight the senses of everyone. Not to be outdone, for a warm and tasty treat you might also try Caffe D’Vita’s Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino.

Caffe D’Vita Pumpkin Delight Smoothie

Ingredients:

Crushed Ice

Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix

Pumpkin Pie Filling

Half and Half

Water

Cinnamon

Whipped Cream

Directions:

Pour 1/3 cup of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Base mix into a blender. Add the ½ cup of Pumpkin Pie filling, 2 ounces of Half & Half, and 2 ounces of water. Add the ice and blend. Take a 16 ounce glass and fill it with ice. Add that amount of ice to the blender and blend everything on low, then on high, and then on “pulse.” Check the consistency. It should be smooth; not too thick and not too watery. Pour the Pumpkin Delight drink into a glass and top it with whipped cream. Garnish it with cloves or cinnamon.
