I really like the Darjeeling Green Tea. I learned that fair trade helps eliminate child labor. Thanks for the giveaway! :)
I’d like to try the Ceylon Chai Tea. I love Chai, and enjoy experimenting with different kinds. Thanks for the great giveaway.

GREAT site. Love the 5 principles
SOLIDARITY, DIRECT, FAIR, TRANSPARENT, QUALITATIVE and that workers are paid a fair wage.
great products that you can trust to be of the best.
I had not stopped to think about the fact that, “Natural fertilizers are used for economic reasons, but also because it is a way of ensuring the good health of producers and the land they work.” I had thought of how environmentally responsible it was, but how it benefits the workers’ health is definitely something that should be taken into consideration.
Thanks for this giveaway. All the chocolates sound wonderful, but I love the Alter Eco Hazelnut Chocolate the best.
Thanks again and please enter me.
ohh i would love to try the Lemon Ceylon Green Tea
ALTER ECO Milk Hazelnut Chocolate – Natural fertilizers ;-) Thanks.

We’ve been Alter-Eco fans for awhile– I drink their Ceylon Chai Tea almost daily! I love their chocolate, too (the Dark Almond is YUM), but I’d love to try the Dark Twist or the Milk Moka chocolates.
I would probably buy the Alter Eco Darjeeling Black Tea and maybe the Green Tea as well. I have always tried to choose Fair Trade products whenever possible, as we need to help workers in other countries to earn a living wage.

The unfined cane sugar sounds like a winner to me! I had picked up some of that on my trip to Kauai and I love it in my coffee! Gives it a little more of a richer flavor!

I’d really like to try the Darjeeling Green Tea – Organic.

As hard as it is to bypass the chocolate (and believe me, any of that looks wonderful too), I think I’d most like to try the quinoa – either kind. I have tried quinoa before, when I was in grade 5 and my class did a unit on Peru, but I don’t have any memory of what it’s like.

Quinoa is an ancient cereal grain that grows in the Andes Mountains of South America. Locally referred to as the ‘mother grain’ and as a ‘protein powerhouse’, quinoa is nutritionally charged and is considered one of the best sources of protein.
