Food and Beverage

Food, beverage and the holiday season go hand in hand. From the high of hosting and attending multiple celebrations, to the low of packing up decorations as January settles in. There is nothing a sweet treat or delicious beverage can’t fix! Here are some small, interesting and responsible brands that are worth a look when considering gifts for this year.

Teapigs

Warm up with Teapigs’ Tea and Tin Bundle. Unlike some big grocery store brands, Teapigs uses real, whole-leaf tea and flowers for a full-flavored and healthy drink. They strive to maintain the livelihood of tea workers and small farms globally by protecting the environment in every facet of the tea business, and ensuring their employees earns a livable wage.

Buna

In our humble opinion, no New Year should begin without a fresh cup of coffee. Alas, we introduce: Buna. Buna is a Mexico City-based company that is environmentally friendly, practices fair trade, and sources their product and materials from local farmers and agriculturalists. We recommend Maui Ome to kick off 2020 in a (sustainable and…) fully-caffeinated fashion!

Chocolatey Clare

Can you even celebrate the holidays without chocolate? We think not! Chocolatey Clare makes Irish-Vegan chocolate and is a zero-waste product that tastes 100% delicious. Also – the inner wrappers are made from NatureFlex, a plant-based film that can be heat sealed to ensure freshness. How cool is that? We’ll take two boxes ASAP, please (the Mint Crème is our jam).

Drizzle Honey

Hosting a holiday celebration this year? Be sure to find a way to incorporate Drizzle’s bee-friendly Cinnamon Spiced Raw Honey into your festive spread! Drizzle’s mission to support local bee farmers, make a positive change in the food industry and contribute to pollinator research makes this an extra scrumptious purchase. Plus, it is sure to make your guests swoon!
