Since I raved about the African jam, honey, and coffee maker Nakakono, I have been put in touch with many other amazing African ambassadors and had my tastebuds taken on a tantalizing trip!

One of my new faves is 3 Mountains, a woman-owned company that supports women in Africa through their own nonprofit, Healing Exchange.

While the cause is important, 3 Mountain’s products are worth trying on their own! Their line of organic Tima Teas from Rwanda includes a wide range of leafy colors and flavors – from black and green to rarer white and silver varieties – all of which are pesticide-free and earth-safe. According to Founder Sara Stender Delaney, they are also made with the Spirit of Resistance, which makes tham all the more satisfying!

If you can’t wait for your tea to steep, check out their pre-brewed cans of vegan and naturally gluten-free Sarilla, which combine amazing organic teas with other natural flavors like lemon, apple juice, ginger and hibiscus. All of these are made with just enough pure cane sugar or monkfruit, offering peak flavor and refreshment without Kilamanjaro-sized blood sugar spikes.

Climb to a new level of sustainable and supportive flavor at www.3mountains.org (that’s the number “3”), www.DrinkSarilla.com, and  www.DrinkTimaTea.com, and for more about Healing Exchange, please go to www.HealingExchange.org

PS Sarilla recently launched on Amazon and is offering a coupon for early adopters, so get to it!
