Deipno® Tea and Spice Blends Partners with Small Farms Across Greece to Expand Its Sustainable Ingredient Network
Clearwater, Florida, 2nd January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, — Deipno® Tea and Spice Blends, a brand recognized for blending Mediterranean heritage with modern culinary artistry, announced today a new initiative to partner with small, family-run farms across Greece. This collaboration aims to expand the company’s sustainable ingredient network, ensuring that its teas, salts, and spice blends continue to reflect both authenticity and environmental responsibility.
For Deipno®, sustainability and flavor go hand in hand. By working directly with small-scale growers, the brand supports local communities, preserves traditional farming practices, and sources ingredients that meet rigorous standards for freshness, quality, and traceability. This initiative highlights the company’s dedication to ethical sourcing while offering consumers products that are both delicious and responsibly crafted.
“Our mission has always been to celebrate the Mediterranean through taste, tradition, and care,” said Aikaterini Haraktsis, Founder of Deipno® Tea and Spice Blends. “Partnering with small farms across Greece allows us to honor that mission in a tangible way. We are helping local communities thrive, protecting natural resources, and bringing the highest-quality ingredients to our customers’ kitchens.”
Through these partnerships, Deipno® is sourcing seasonal herbs, teas, and spices cultivated using sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Each ingredient is hand-selected for its quality, flavor, and connection to the region it comes from. From the sun-drenched slopes of the Peloponnese to the aromatic highlands of Thessaly, every product carries a story rooted in Greek culture and land stewardship.
This farm-to-table approach extends beyond ingredient sourcing. Deipno® collaborates closely with growers to implement environmentally conscious practices such as reduced chemical inputs, regenerative soil management, and water conservation techniques. These efforts not only preserve the ecosystem but also maintain the distinct flavor profiles that define authentic Mediterranean teas and spices.
“Our customers want more than just flavor—they want a story, a connection, and a product they can trust,” Haraktsis added. “By building these relationships with small farms, we create a supply chain that is transparent, sustainable, and deeply tied to Mediterranean heritage. It’s a step toward a more conscious approach to enjoying food and beverages.”
The initiative also reflects Deipno®’s broader vision of culinary stewardship: combining heritage, quality, and innovation while making a positive impact on communities and the environment. As consumer interest grows in ethically sourced, high-quality ingredients, the brand continues to lead with products that honor the past while looking toward a more sustainable future.

AI Meets Arabic Literature: Qirtas App Unveils Scalable Publishing Infrastructure at Web Summit Qatar 2026
Doha, Qatar, 19th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Qirtas App, a dual-interface digital platform headquartered in Istanbul and Malmo, announced its mission to bridge the global gap in Arabic literature accessibility following its successful showcase in the Alpha Startup category at Web Summit Qatar. By integrating cutting-edge AI production tools with a seamless streaming interface, Qirtas is providing the technical infrastructure needed to digitize the fragmented $4 billion Arab publishing market.
Despite a global population of 430 million Arabic speakers, the publishing industry has long been hampered by prohibitive shipping costs, high piracy rates, and a lack of digital infrastructure. Qirtas App addresses these systemic barriers through a twofold solution: a freemium streaming platform for readers and a sophisticated digital management backend for publishers.
Empowering Publishers through the “AI Production Suite”
Qirtas is not merely a distributor; it is a catalyst for digital transformation. For traditional publishers, the platform offers a dedicated portal to convert physical catalogs into secure, monetizable digital assets.
AI-Automated Production: The platform utilizes proprietary AI to automatically generate high-quality audiobooks and smart summaries, drastically reducing the time and cost barriers that previously prevented publishers from entering the digital space.
Institutional Security: With advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) and real-time reader analytics, publishers maintain full control over their intellectual property while gaining unprecedented insights into global consumption patterns.
The Future of the Arab Reading Experience
For the global Arab diaspora, Qirtas offers a comprehensive streaming library featuring Qirtas AI, an interactive reading assistant that provides instant translation, text-to-speech narration, and social integration.
“The Arab publishing world is rich in content but starved of modern distribution,” said Tamer Odeh, CEO of Qirtas App. “With Qirtas, we are removing the friction. We aren’t just giving readers an app; we are giving publishers the tools to survive and thrive in a digital-first economy.”
Alaa Barghouth, COO of Qirtas App, added: “Our participation in Web Summit Qatar has confirmed the massive appetite for this technology. We have already secured commitments from major publishing houses ready to onboard their catalogs. We are now focused on scaling our infrastructure to meet this demand.”
Market Opportunity & Investment
The digital publishing segment in the MENA region is currently valued at $400 million and is experiencing rapid year-over-year growth. Having validated its model with early industry commitments, Qirtas App is currently open for pre-seed investment to accelerate its market launch and expand its AI-driven production capabilities.

The BTCD Foundation has announced the upcoming deployment of its proprietary Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure. This development marks the introduction of a new technical framework designed to support decentralized applications and secure digital transactions. The Foundation has confirmed that the Public Testnet is scheduled to open for user participation on February 15, 2026.
Technical Architecture and Infrastructure
The BTCD platform is engineered as an independent Layer 1 blockchain, distinct from token-based projects that rely on existing third-party networks. The core infrastructure utilizes a hybrid consensus mechanism combining Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) and Proof of Stake (PoS) protocols.
This architectural design is intended to address common scalability challenges in blockchain technology. The technical specifications indicate a capacity for high-volume throughput, with initial testing targeting transaction speeds of over 10,000 transactions per second (TPS) while maintaining sub-second finality. The system is built to operate autonomously, providing a decentralized foundation for developers and users.
Testnet Deployment and Minting Mechanism
Beginning February 15, 2026, the BTCD Foundation will initiate the Public Testnet phase. This phase allows users to interact with the network’s minting protocol to test system stability and performance.
The minting process follows a programmed algorithmic schedule designed to test the network’s long-term sustainability over a projected 25-year timeline. The protocol includes technical halving events scheduled every 2.5 years to regulate the issuance rate of digital assets on the network.
Transition to Mainnet
The Testnet phase is a precursor to the official Mainnet launch, which is currently scheduled for May 15, 2026. The Foundation has outlined a technical migration plan wherein digital assets minted during the Testnet phase will be recognized on the Mainnet system upon its activation.
Ecosystem Development Roadmap
Following the Mainnet launch, the BTCD Foundation plans to deploy a suite of decentralized applications (dApps) integrated directly into the Layer 1 core. The technical roadmap outlines the phased release of nine specific utilities, including:
- Nexora: A decentralized communication protocol.
- Guardian DEX: A decentralized exchange interface.
-
WealthBook: A social networking platform integrated with blockchain identity verification.
Future updates scheduled for later in 2026 involve the integration of automated trading algorithms and asset management utilities.

The BTCD Foundation is a technology organization focused on the development of Layer 1 blockchain solutions. It aims to build a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure to support the next generation of digital applications.
