Tea party movement ‘catching on’ for Father’s Day– and it has nothing to do with politics.

Hollywood, California – The Tea Party movement is sweeping the nation for Father’s Day, but we’re not talking politics – we’re talking fine, imported teas!

According to actress Tyra Colar, founder of utopiatea.com – a popular online destination for high quality imported teas – her special Father’s Day Tea Gift Baskets are replacing the much-maligned tie as a top-selling gift for 2011.

“To say I’m surprised would be an understatement,” said Colar, who has appeared on ABC’s hit “Cougar Town” with Courtney Cox. “Honestly, I put together this special gift basket full of great teas, including Irish Breakfast and Chocolate Strawberry Rooibos, thinking I’d be lucky if I sold more than two for Father’s Day. To my amazement, women are snapping them up for their spouses and fathers.”

So, what does this rising young feature film actress attribute the sudden popularity of her Father’s Day Tea Basket?

“Obviously, American women are concerned the health of their loved ones, and tea has well documented benefits, including antioxidants, assisting in weight loss and digestion… not to mention being an instant cure for halitosis,” she said. “But the bottom line is that many American men, who have grown tired of high calorie coffee drinks and feeling jittery for hours, and are really starting to enjoy tea.”

For Colar, who was raised in a family of tea coinsurers, it’s a trend that’s not only good business – but seems to be helpful to relationships as well.

“I love a man who will join me for a nice cup of tea,” said the former Ms. California. “It tells me they are very self-assured and open to trying new things. And it turns out I’m not alone, because lots of my female clients tell me the same thing.”

The Utopiatea.com Father’s Day Tea Basket features 10 different top international teas, five of them included for free… and even a teapot. “But not to worry, the tea pot is in a striking, but very masculine silver.”
