Organic and Fair Trade Certified™ Tealandia Introduces New Line of Exotic Tea Blends in Eco-friendly Packaging

Socially and environmentally conscious Tealandia officially announces the debut of a new line of twelve exotic whole leaf tea blends that are smartly packaged in environmentally conscious biodegradable pyramid shaped bags.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 -- Tealandia expands its healthful tea blends with African Sunset, ChamoMint, Green Earl Grey, Jasmine Bliss, Green Pomegranate, Lavender Earl Grey, Masala Chai, Red Chai, Sunday Brunch, White Ambrosia, White Chai, and Zen Garden. These teas are available in 18 pyramid-shaped biodegradable tea bags per tin can. In addition to the individual tea blends, four medleys with six sachets per medley (Medley 1 Sunday Brunch/Jasmine Bliss/Chamomint, Medley 2 White Ambrosia/Green Earl Greay/Red Chai, Medley 3 Green Pomegranate/Masala Chai/ African Sunset, Medley 4 Zen Garden/White Chai/Lavender Earl Grey) are available in three shorter, stackable tins.

As a dedicated eco-friendly business and member of Co-Op America for green businesses, Tealandia is devoted to "creating packaging that is as harmless to the environment as possible." The twelve new blends complement the existing black, green, white, and herbal loose-leaf teas, which are all skillfully and imaginatively blended by tea experts, resulting in exotic, unique and wonderfully delicious flavors.

At the crux of providing uniquely delicious teas, Tealandia is committed to only using Organic and Fair Trade Certified™ teas that ensure a fair price for farmers and provide an array of benefits that improve their lives. After traveling globally and witnessing poverty and injustice, Founder and CEO Mark Deliman wanted to provide a platform for change where social responsibility and environmental stewardship go hand in hand with cultivating a healthy mind, body and soul. He explains, "We want folks drinking our tea to experience the satisfaction of having an organic cup of delicious tea that's good for them and for people who produced it. This is everyone's chance to improve their own lives health-wise and make a difference in the lives of those who are less privileged... it's those small steps that eventually make a big difference."

Tealandia supports tea farmers in a handful of developing countries by giving a percentage of their tea sales directly to farmers and their families through the fair trade system.

Tealandia's newest blends come in 100% recyclable and triangular-shaped steel coated tin cans, all beautifully decorated in an ivy-inspired floral pattern, each uniquely painted in soothing and vibrant colors that smartly represent the particular tea inside. In promoting his company's eco-friendly message Deliman suggests, "With a little bit of imagination, these tins can go through rebirth as piggy bank, pen and pencil holder, flower or herb pot, toothbrush holder or your very own 'maraca' should you feel so inclined."
