Meet the Zen Electric Kettle, Instant Pot's latest genius appliance

Banu Ibrahim, CNN Underscored
 We'll admit it: We're obsessed with anything and everything Instant Pot, full stop.
Aside from its viral Instant Pot Programmable cooker (of which there are 10 iterations), the brand has also been stealing the hearts of food fanatics with a blender that can pulverize fruits, vegetables and nuts into soups, smoothies and sauces, and a sous vide that can evenly cook proteins in a water bath. We've even raved about a number of accessories, such as an air fryer attachment and baking trays, that can make its devices even more functional.
Since its slew of new gadgets, fans have been wondering what could possibly be the next Instant Pot product sure to revolutionize how they cook at home. The newest member of its lineup, which was just rolled out on Amazon, is the Instant Pot Zen Electric Kettle ($101.24; amazon.com).

You May See Fewer Starbucks Coffee Shops at U.S. Airports: Here’s Why


You soon may see fewer Starbucks stores at U.S. airports, after HMS Host, which operates all of the roughly 400 terminal locations nationwide, severed its nearly 30-year-old exclusivity agreement with the famous coffee chain.
Since 1991, HMS Host has been the only concession company that could partner with Starbucks at U.S. airports. Starbucks has been a boon for business, with some airports choosing HMS Host to operate many of their food and beverage outlets because they wanted the iconic coffee company. But interests change, and in recent years, Starbucks hasn’t been the draw for airports it once was.
Still, this doesn’t mean Starbucks will disappear from airports. A lot of HMS Host locations have 10-year agreements with airports, so many will remain for many years. Also, other concession companies will now be free to bid for Starbucks airport locations.

The 50 Benefits of Drinking Green Tea  

Green tea and most other teas are made from the Camellia sinensis plant, and have been used in China and Japan for centuries for medicinal purposes. Green tea is made from un-oxidized leaves, meaning it’s less processed than other types of tea and has more antioxidants.
From weight loss to reducing cancer risk and inflammation, green tea offers so many benefits:

A fine tea from India’s hidden hills

Kangra’s tea history dates to the 1850s, a few decades after Darjeeling’s. Yet, its teas garner only a mention in the story of Indian tea. A pity because Kangra’s story is one of a great beginning, a long and unfortunate middle, and the possibility of a happily ever after.
No story on this tea is complete without a mention of the Kangra Gazetteer of 1883 and its proclamation that Kangra tea was probably better than those produced in any other part of India—a reminder of its glorious beginnings. Tea was brought there by none other than the superintendent of the Saharanpur Botanical Gardens, William Jameson (Saharanpur was the destination for the first tea saplings from China and William Jameson was its botanist from 1842). Kangra’s first tea garden was planted in 1849. For nearly half a century, it thrived; on a par with Darjeeling and a firm favourite among tea drinkers in Afghanistan, Central Asia, Russia.
