Herbal Infusion

I must admit, I'm having a bit of a love affair with my African Red Bush tea.  Like every gal, I go through my phases of likes and dislikes.  This may be more of an obsession.  It's caffeine-free, but my cravings for it make it feel caffenated, minus those pesky jitters. It’s fruity without being too sweet, yet still has a distinctive tea flavor. Apparently the hibiscus is what gives this yummy tea a slight tart finish. Add a squeeze of agave nectar or honey and you’ve got yourself quite a delightful brew.

Tazo is a Fare Trade company; all workers receive a fair wage, education, maternity leave, health and safety and housing rights.
In 2002, Tazo and Starbucks teamed up to launch CHAI (Collaboration for Hope and Advancement in India). This program helps to improve living conditions and create opportunities for those living & working in the villages of the tea producing regions in Darjeeling, India (Darjeeling is also a lovely tea!).

The project also improves water quality, provides vocational and leadership training for youth, trains community health workers and supports social development projects chosen by the community. The CHAI program is currently involved with 24 villages. Go here to find out more about this project.

At around $4.20 per box, you’re looking at only $0.21 per cup. Steep an extra 10 minutes for a larger cup (a little tip from an addict). *wink*
