Get Numi-fied! Numi Organic Tea offers a large variety of Fair Trade Certified teas, and is committed to the mission of Fair Trade. Since Numi Organic began carrying Fair Trade Certified tea flavors, over $135,000 has been given back to tea growers to fund social projects that include new schools, women’s empowerment programs, transition to 100% organic garden production by tea growers, meals for school children, and more. Their teas are also all natural (and don’t even include “natural flavorings,” which aren’t necessarily “natural” to begin with), and they use only recyclable and biodegradable packaging and sustainable bamboo for their merchandising. Learn more about their dedication to Fair Trade and other sustainable practices on their website.

Currently, Numi Organic Teas offers the following flavors of Fair Trade Certified tea: Jasmine Green, Golden Chai, Breakfast Blend, Mate Lemon Green, Red Mellow Bush, Ruby Chai, Moonlight Spice, Aged Earl Grey, Berry Black, Decaf Black Vanilla, Decaf Green Ginger, White Nectar, White Orange Spice, White Rose and Brrrgamot Black.

That’s a lot of flavors! Hopefully, that list made you thirsty because today we will give away TEN BOXES of Numi Fair Trade Certified Teas to the first TEN people to Retweet @FairTradeUSA’s Tea’s tweet at 4:00pm PT/7:00pm ET!
