Santa Cruz Organic teamed up with Choice Organic Tea to create two, tasty new “tea meets juice” drinks.
As a tea drinker and lover of sparkling drinks, I was intrigued by Santa Cruz Organic‘s new carbonated organic tea meets organic fruit juice, TeaZers. Choice teas used are high quality, Fair Trade Certified organic green, white and black tea varieties, and each drink contains 10 percent juice. Available in Lemon, Passionfruit, Raspberry and Pear – each is quite refreshing and has a distinctive flavor, Pear’s my favorite. Besides the tea blend, what else is in it? Pear’s ingredients include: organic evaporated cane juice, organic pear and organic apple juice concentrates, organic natural pear flavor and citric acid. The fruit juice flavor is not overwhelming, so you can still enjoy the flavor of the teas while receiving a refreshing hit of bubbly. (TeaZers retail for $5.49/per 4-pack of 12-ounce bottles.)
Also in store now is Santa Cruz Organic Tea – brewed green, white and black Fair Trade certified organic (Choice) tea with either peppermint, mango, raspberry or lemon organic fruit juice added as a tasty twist; raspberry was my personal fave. The ingredients are about the same as the above minus the carbonation. And each drink contains 10 percent juice. (The tea drinks retail for $2.79-$3.29 per 32-ounce bottle.)
In honor of upcoming Fair Trade Month, (October), Santa Cruz Organics is generously sponsoring this Great Green Giveaway.
3 lucky winners will each receive a party pack of the following: one 4-pack of each of the four flavors of TeaZers mentioned above; and a large bottle of each of the four flavors of Tea drink. The approximate total retail value of each prize is $35.00

Fair Trade is a law that quarantees & permits the right to specify minimum retail price maintenace of a commodity – domestic or foreign – to help domestic/foreign producers in developing countries promote sustainability. Favorite fruit: grape.
Am following Santa Cruz Organic on Twitter!
I’ve always been the employee. I stopped working for corporations years ago, and have worked in communes on farms. Rather be poor than treated unfairly….So important for people to become organized with each other..Fair trade is important to me so we recognize we are all equally important! Lemon’s my favorite, I buy their Lemonade often.
My favorite fruit is apple, and Fair trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries and promote sustainability.
guarantees fair wages and decent living/working conditions, like grape
Fair Trade is important to me so that we are all able to experience other cultures and their products they make so we can learn from each other. My favorite fruit is raspberry.

Fair Trade enables economic self-sufficiency and stability for the workers. Favorite fruit: Mango
Fair trade is important to me because I believe that every person should be lucky enough to live as I do – able to afford food and shelter, and I want my purchases to support that. Favorite fruit: avocado.
i support Fair Trade since it offers a living wage and humane working conditions for vulnerable workers — apricot is my fave fruit!
Fair trade is important to me because it allows profits to accrue to the producer rather than the middlemen. Favorite fruit – cherry.
These sound yummy. I can’t figure out if they have herbal (decaf) but they do have white tea which is naturally decaf so I hope I win. Thanks for the chance.

Fair Trade is important to me because it’s the RIGHT thing to do. Instead of pouring our dollars into wars that are unneccessary, we should be putting money into eradicating poverty. I think that ALL people, the world over, are OUR community!
Oh, and my favorite fruit is raspberry!
fair trade is important to me because i like a lot of fruits that come from places where i can’t meet the farmer in person (my usual approach to finding humane agriculture). my favorite fruit is the apple, and my second-favorite is the pineapple!
Working at making healthier choices & sharing what I get from that.
Pretty much like any berries.
Fair trade is important too me simply because as a human, it is the right and just thing to do. Mango is my fave.
Thanks!
Mango Tea! Living in the (cold) East coast, I’ve got a sweet spot for the tropical fruit!
And I believe fair trade is the answer for developing countries. Everyone deserves a fair shot. And since we’re the older sibling, we can help out a bit more!
And I subscribe to the RSS with bloglines! Yippie!
If a product didn’t come from someone who was paid and treated fairly in the process of making it, I don’t want to buy it. Fair Trade is the responsible consumer option. Fave fruit are mangos.

Fair Trade is important to me and has been ever since I was a little girl, with the influence of my social justice-conscious grandfather. It pains me to see/read about workers who spend their lives tirelessly working and barely making a living (or worse!). I cannot stand the idea of such gross inequality! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oops! Forgot to mention my favorite fruit is raspberry.
