It may be well into fall, but the unexpected 90-degree heat waves this November require more than sweets to satisfy our thirsty palates. Sick of sugary soda? Overcaffeinated from coffee? Need something with more flavor than plain old water?
.
Just a tad sweet, with a bit of a caffeine kick and made from antioxidant-rich tea leaves and fruits, Honest Tea iced tea is just the right beverage for warm Los Angeles afternoons. Honest Tea is a certified organic, Fair Trade, eco-friendly beverage company that bottles teas, juices and fruit-flavored beverages that are a thirst-quenching, healthier alternative to traditional bottled drinks on the market.
.
The company utilizes several eco-friendly initiatives in its beverage business, such as bottling on both coasts to reduce the environmental impacts of transportation, using glass when possible and using the most easily recyclable form of plastic when it is not. The company also launched an environmental effort to promote the recycling and reuse of their Honest Kids juice packs called the Drink Pouch Brigade that teaches kids to recycle. The reused pouches are made into school supplies like pencil cases and totes and are sold at retail stores.
Honest Tea beverages come in a variety of enticing flavors: Pomegranate White Tea with Acai, Lemon Black Tea and Orange Mango with Mangosteen Honest Ade. The Honest Kid fruit packs come Berry Berry Good Lemonade and Tropical Tango Punch.
You can find Honest Tea at Whole Foods, Mrs. Winston’s, Groundwork Coffee and various other Los Angeles area markets.
