Summers Sips

Tis the season for iced tea and you can green your summer drink. Start by selecting the right brew. Choosing organic tea leaves or sachets means your beverage will have less of an impact on the environment. Try Zhena’s Gypsy Tea Blueberry Acai Iced Tea, which is made to be cold-brewed for a refreshing sip.

Not only are you getting a Fair Trade and 100% organic blend so you can be sure your cup is free of chemical pesticide residues, even the sachets are eco-friendly since they’re made from biodegradable corn silk. The rooibos based blend has a summery blueberry flavor with hints of antioxidant-rich elderberry, cranberry, acai and currant.

Now, keep with the green theme and serve your summer brew in a recycled glass pitcher. The beautiful Aqua Halo pitcher is truly an art piece, handmade by Javier and Efren. Because the pitcher is made of hand blown glass, the carbon cost of this piece is lower since it wasn’t mass-produced by machines in a massive factory.
