Organic India's mission is to help India's family farmers make a sustainable income by converting to organically grown crops.

Click Here to read more The Republic of Tea's Be Well Red Teas In 2006, after a year of intensive work, The Republic of Tea launched a line of 9 new "wellness" teas that has won many awards this year. I'm proud to say I designed for them! The teas are all based on rooibos "the red tea" with its anti-oxidant, anti-spasmodic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Rooibos makes such a delicious base; I was able to remove that "medicinal" flavor that characterizes so many other "wellness" teas. Drinking Be Well Red Teas will provide you with both flavor enjoyment and many healthy properties. Pick the tea that meets your health needs! Click Here to read about the 9 Be Well Red Teas. Teeccino Latté So you don't have an espresso machine and you wish you could get a Teeccino latté at Starbucks. Never fear, we can satisfy that craving for a rich, milky latté infused with Teeccino yet! Here's a recipe that hits the comfort food spot and makes your heart sing out YUM loud and clear. Maybe Starbucks will hear the notes sung by those of us who vibrate to a different dance rhythm! Add 2 rounded tablespoons of Teeccino to 10 oz of milk or non-dairy milk. Heat the milk on the stovetop or in a microwave until it is very hot but not scalded. Let it sit for a few minutes. Pour the milk through a strainer into a mug to remove the Teeccino grounds. The outside chamber of a One-Cup Brewer works well for this purpose. You may need to stir the grounds a little to keep the milk flowing through the strainer. If you have a milk frother, whiz up some frothy milk on the top of the cup. Add ground cinnamon or powdered cocoa to the foam and relax with a most satisfying latté that even Starbucks can’t beat!
