women with a bottle of honest teaSeveral weeks ago when I went camping with my church 16 family 61 kids.    Honest tea was nice enough to provide me 4 cases of there product to share with my friends.    The result of my friends tasting Honest?  They loved it!  It was very hot when were camping,  the great thing about the Honest Tea was it was not too sweet.  The teas were so refreshing and we were able to drink them the entire time.  I love the fact that the teas were not going to sabotage my weight loss efforts.

A little history of Honest Tea:

Honest tea is a company that was found by  2 college friends Seth Goldman and Barry Nalebuff  who took there idea great tea in small batches and brought it to the masses.  The 1st sold there tea to Whole Food, then expanded to other sellers.   The philosophy is Real Tea, Real taste and Honest.

Companies interest in creating not only a better tea but a better world.

  • In 2011, we converted all of our green, black, oolong, and white teas over to Fair Trade Certified™ which ensures that workers on tea gardens receive a fair share of profits, and that the tea gardens comply with specific workplace criteria for equality and fairness.
  • Honest Tea has had a relationship with Green America  who’s mission to harness economic power to create an environmentally and socially sustainable society.  Since 2005, Honest Tea has supported their annual Green Festivals across the U.S. through financial and in-kind donations.
  • When Honest Kids launched in 2007, they were faced with a packaging dilemma – widely recyclable aseptic drink pouches did not exist and still do not. Honest partnered with TerraCycle to launch the Honest Kids Drink Pouch Brigade as a way to divert drink pouches from landfills. For each pouch collected, schools receive $0.02 and the pouches are upcycled into bags and school supplies.women holding honest tea
