BUZZFLASH REVIEWS
"Alter Eco Lemon Green Tea is a delicate blend of naturally decaffeinated high-grown organic green tea and organic lemon grass. Grown at 4,000 feet and continuously exposed to the winds, these tender tea leaves develop particularly intense aromas. Sit back and enjoy the taste of lemon fused with the rejuvenating qualities of this uplifting and refreshing green tea!"
"Alter Eco Chai Tea is a delicate blend of high-grown organic black tea and organic spices. Grown at 4,000 feet and continuously exposed to the winds, these tender tea leaves develop particularly intense aromas. In this traditional recipe, black tea is combined with balanced doses of cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper and ginger. Let it seduce you with its original wooded savors!"
From our tasting, we recommend that you steep the tea for at least five minute to maximize the flavor.
Alter Eco began as an organization in France and now has distribution offices in the United States and Brazil. It exclusively imports Fair Trade foods, such as tea, rice, quinoa, coffee and sugar.
The organic tea that you are purchasing is from the nation of Sri Lanka.
BuzzFlash began Fair Trade Monday as a way of contributing to the distribution of equitable wages throughout for many products commonly purchased in the United States.
But the Fair Trade movement is also committed to the concept of "sustainable development." In short, this means helping suppliers (usually co-operatives) learn cultivation methods that are ecologically friendly. Furthermore, it means that they will produce Fair Trade items with methods that will allow for long-term cultivation, and not just short-term gain.
Many BuzzFlash readers ask how they can make a difference in the world, considering the tyranny of the Bush regime and its allies in the mainstream media, particularly television. Well, buying Fair Trade products allows you to improve the world, one person at a time.
