In the midst of the United State's tea parties on tax day where thousands protested spiraling financial woes, government bailouts and unmonitored spending, a small new tea company was being formed -- Indulge Tea.

The company was created by a family living in rural Virginia who was looking to enhance the tea drinking experience for Americans -- while striving to sustain the American dream in spite of recessionary conditions.

Time will tell whether Indulge Tea catches on. But it is nice to know that, in the midst of America's angst, this new little company serves as an example of how people can persevere and keep looking forward. And by doing so, hope and opportunity is created from which everyone benefits.
