Indian company sends 6000 tea bags to Donald Trump to "purify" him
Kolkata, July 15 (IBNS): It is one good-humoured and a flavoured move to stump the Trump, the US presidential candidate known for his extreme views on issues, and a tea company in India just about achieved that.
The Kolkata-based company, Te-A-Me Teas, has delivered as many as 6000 green tea bags to US presidential candidate Donald Trump on Thursday to "purify" his mind, a company official said.
According to the company, the package, with a cover message for Donald Trump: Mr. Trump, it’s never too late to cleanse yourself, has been received by Trump Tower at 5th Avenue in New York.
"Even as Mr. Trump inches closer to becoming the USA's president, his extreme views have elicited strong concerns around the world. In a modern take of the Gandhian principle of peaceful persuasion, TE-A-ME Teas has taken a good-humoured approach to changing Trump for the better. We believe that sending TE-A-ME purify green tea can help achieve that," Managing Director of TE-A-ME Teas Sumit Shah told IBNS.
"TE-A-ME understands the positive power of green tea. We believe that green tea with all its goodness can help Mr. Trump, and in turn benefit his country and the world at large. We therefore prescribe at least three cups a day for Mr. Trump. If he needs more, we’ll be happy to provide,” Shah added.
The company has also commenced a social network campaign. It has posted a video, describing the initiative, on its official Facebook page and an open end forum on Twitter with two hashtags- #drinkthetea and #teafortrump.
TE-A-ME is owned by India's one of the largest teabag manufacturing companies- Madhu Jayanti International Limited.
