     As a company, Art of Tea goes to great lengths to obtain the best teas grown under just the right conditions for the different 'varietals', and their blends are truly unique (we're talking awards here!).  This company also takes pains to provide complete and accurate information on the whole 'art of tea' to their clients--check the tabs for their Blog and 'About Us' for some interesting stuff, such as the difference between decaf tea and caffeine-free tea.  You will also find that this company is very strong on environmental ethics and community involvement.  As far as we're concerned here at YGBP, it is truly a model company, exemplifying commitment to superior product, and at the same time making huge strides to keep it all within bounds of ecological awareness.

     Via Fair Trade Certification, farmers and farmworkers are enabled to rise from poverty through integral participation in their communities and farms.  They are provided, or shown how to cultivate, the tools for environmental protection and transitioning to organic, and to develop the business skills needed to compete in the global market.  Few people in Westernized countries realize that agriculture workers  in the coffee industry are often unaffected by fair labor laws and suffer the drudgery of "sweatshops in the fields"   

Besides their fair trade organic coffees and tea accessories, Global Exchange offers you a select and intriguing array of  fine edibles and serving items.

     Solay's choice of Puroast Low Acid Coffee to bring to their clients was based in large part on two things:  1) it being organic fair trade, and 2) the patented processing not involving chemical additives or extraction.  It is an all-natural process decreasing the acid in coffee by 50% to 70%, resulting in a gentler effect on the stomach with much less indigestion, acid reflux and heartburn, and without  disturbing the balance of your ph levels.
     Puroast Low Acid Coffee is available from Solay in French Roast or House Blend, Whole Bean or Ground, Regular or Decaf.

     Isabella, founder of Solay Wellness, chose Ineeka Organic Teas as the tea offering by Solay because of their convenient exclusive delivery method doing away with pots, strainers, measurements, even the tea bag!  Their innovative Brew-Tache' provides a total infusion allowing the complete unfurling of the whole tea leaves and bud, giving you a nutrient-rich tea full of natural and delicate flavor and aroma.
