Meandering through my local health food stores, it’s almost guaranteed that one of Santa Cruz Organics‘ juices will land in my grocery cart. I’ve always been a fan on the Raspberry Lemonade, and this past summer, I’ve had a particular taste for their tart Limeade over crushed ice. Using organic fruit purees and sweetened with organic evaporated cane juice, they’re a sweet treat on a warm day – even though I reserve most of my hydration for good ol’ filtered water and teas.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that the brand had added a line of Fair Trade teas, too. Choosing between Raspberry, Mango, Lemon and Peppermint was hardly easy, and in the end, I can attest to each. Flavorful and light, with just the right amount of sweetness, they’ve become a new staple on the grocery list. Best of all, they’re packaged in glass, so there’s no worry about leeching toxins or unrecyclable plastics.
