Talbott Teas, created by Talbott Teas president and Master Colorist Shane Talbott, founder and owner of Chicago's Troupe Salon, as seen on the Oprah Winfrey Show, feature five color-coded lines of tea.

Each nominee guest at the "Award Suites" will receive a four-pack of Talbott Teas tins featuring Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Chocolate Almond Biscotti, Blueberry Bliss and Green Tea Heaven. The tins will be a small, but flavorful, part of the nominee guest gift bags, valued at $10,000, and part of a selected gift collection for other top celebrities.

"We are thrilled to be a part of these luxurious gift bags," said Shane Talbott. "It is truly an honor." Boutique gift bag firm Klein Creative Communications chose Talbott Teas as a part of the gift collection to suit the theme of healthy indulgence. "Talbott Teas are an upscale product designed for the most discriminating tea aficionado," said Stephanie Jo Klein, founder and president of Klein Creative Communications, which co-produced the gift bags along with Monkeys In Pants and veteran publicist Marty Winston. "It's only natural to bring these flavorful teas to the top actors and actresses of the day. We think they'll enjoy a soothing cup of tea as they unwind from the craziness of Oscar week," Klein added.

Monkeys In Pants' sensational "Award Suites" will be held Tuesday, February 22 - Saturday, February 26, 2005 at the Beverly Hilton. The five-day style suites at the posh Beverly Hilton will host Oscar nominees, presenters, A-list celebrities, stylists, and producers for browsing and borrowing, spa treatments, drinks, and more.

Talbott Teas features 10 different blends incorporated into five different color lines with each line named by a specific color. By translating emotions into color, then blending teas to reflect those colors, Talbott Teas has both simplified and refined the tea drinking experience. Talbott Teas is a Chicago-based company.
