Providing the Free Tea Party with more than just tea, Mountain Rose Herbs focuses on organic and high quality products like herbs, teas, and oils. They are a zero waste company and are involved in many sustainability projects. Their contribution to the Free Tea Party has been constant request-based donations, including a large amount of loose leaf organic teas, matcha, t-shirts, mugs, tote bags, tea infusers, stickers, magnets, herb books, and hundreds of "Make Tea, Not war" bumper stickers.

Our first tea sponsor, Zhena's Gypsy Tea, is renowned for their 100% Organic and Fair Trade products. Not only do they provide high quality products, but they reach out beyond health into the realms of social responsibility and environmental justice. Their mission "is to provide pure products to improve the health, prosperity and joy in people’s lives worldwide." Their contribution to the Free Tea Party has been to provide teas for free, especially damaged tins and other teas that may have sat on their shelf and gone stale if it weren't for FTP. Thanks Jaime!

Eco Teas is known mostly for their organic unsmoked Yerba Mate, but they also sell blends that include Rooibos and Tulsi (sourced from Organic India). I am happy to say that their company is small and grassroots, dedicated to providing high quality organic and fair trade teas. Their contributions to the Free Tea Party have included a couple big boxes of good ol' Yerba Mate, Holy Mate, and Rooibos teas, as well as several slightly damaged gourds and small bombillas. Thanks Brendan! Click here for their website. |

Bennett's Honey Farm is a Fillmore, CA based honey producer who sells their Topanga Quality Honey at places like Whole Foods. I was attracted to them as a company because their nine honey varieties are raw and unfiltered and their honey facility is 100% solar powered. Their contribution to the Free Tea Party was several pounds of several varieties of honey, as well as a full tour of their facility from hive to bottle. Thanks Susie!

The Resource Conservation Group, LLC is a Los Angeles-based wood salvage company. Their specialty is flooring, but they also carry products like dimensional lumber. All their wood is reclaimed and sold to you in order to help your building projects be a bit more green. Oh, and they are located next to The Reuse People, which also a great resource to get salvaged building materials. Their contribution to the Free Tea Party was over 80 sq. ft. of pre-WWII Douglas Fir wood flooring - enough to floor the whole bus! Thanks Doug! Click here for their official website. |
