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 important because it ensures that people are not being taken advantage of or exploited. My favorite fruit is pretty boring- apple. I think I would really like the passionfruit flavor though.
I like fair trade products because it gives developing countries a chance! And I’m a plum girl!

Because it is the right thing to do – to pay a person what they deserve for a product instead of taking advantage of them. And my favorite fruit would have to be watermelon. No joke I can eat an entire watermelon by myself in one day.
