RSSEpiscopal Relief & Development Launches Bishops Blend Teas
Since 2003, Episcopal Relief & Development has partnered with Pura Vida Coffee, a not-for-profit organization committed to social justice, to offer Bishops Blend, a premium line of organic, Fair Trade certified coffee.
At the 76th General Convention, Episcopal Relief & Development will expand the Bishops Blend line by launching new organic, Fair Trade certified Bishops Blend tea in two flavors. Bishops Blend tea is now available in Organic Moroccan Mint, a refreshing, vibrant, caffeine-free tea, and Organic Earl Grey, a premium Assam black tea with the robust, fruity flavor of bergamot fruit.
The mission of Pura Vida is to use all of our resources and energy to do as much for coffee farmers and their families as possible. By devoting our resources back to coffee growing communities in the form of health, education and infrastructure projects, we are helping to create strong and sustainable communities.
Each purchase of Bishops Blend tea and coffee supports Episcopal Relief & Development’s efforts to alleviate hunger and fight diseases. These programs help:
- Farmers learn better techniques to increase their crops and feed their families
- Women gain new job skills so they can support their children
- Communities rebuild after disasters
- Children orphaned by AIDS receive education, care and counseling
- ... and much more!
“We are excited to partner with Episcopal Relief & Development to release Bishops Blend Organic Moroccan Mint and Bishops Blend Organic Earl Grey teas which will offer our customers new ways to make a profound difference in the lives of farmers and their families in developing countries around the world,” said John Hollister, National Director of Sales and Marketing for Pura Vida.
“We anticipate great success with our new line of teas and look forward to continuing a strong partnership with Pura Vida,” said Lorenzo Martinez, Vice President of External Affairs for Episcopal Relief & Development.
