Sale on Numi Green Teas

Peter — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 20:25:39 +0000

As I sit and sip my Numi tea this morning and check through my email from the weekend, I notice a pleasant surprise; the fine folks at Numi are offering $1 off green tea boxes. You need to use coupon code NMMGTA at check out. Here’s a link to all the fine organic green teas they carry. I don’t have any affiliation with Numi other than liking their tea.

But then I got confused! On the same day they sent another newletter like email with a coupon for 15% off green tea, linking to the same page above. That code is NM39GT. The average price for a box is $7 which makes the 15% better by a whole nickel. Must be used by the end of March.

Enjoy!

From OragnicReviews.Org:

"Punctuate raspberry flavor and bits. The lemon comes on when you’re nearly done. A very good blend of the both (only 7 stars because I’m not a fan of raspberries, but this works well)" [MORE]

From OragnicReviews.Org:

"Real tangerine flavors, that don’t overpower the chocolate and leave a sweet sensation, abound. I normally don’t like orange/tangerine in my chocolate but this bar has me thinking of converting." [MORE]

Featured Review – Sharkies Organic Energy Sport Chew – Berry Blast

Peter — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 16:28:07 +0000

Sharkies are a little, gushy, juicy slice of heaven in the form of a ferocious carnivorous fish. These fruit chews are what I’ve been looking for to replace those other energy snacks with odd ingredients.
The Berry Blast variety is a hardy mix of deep fruits filling your mouth…[MORE]

Featured Review – Fish Tale Organic Wild Salmon Pale Ale

Peter — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 15:28:41 +0000

While this fine organic pale ale has a decent, smooth flavor and pleasant aroma, something in it is lacking for me. As this is a subjective review and I tend towards a hoppier ale, this one is just ‘ok’ for me, reflected in the 5 rating. [MORE]

Selected Review – Rawganique Organic Hemp Men’s Swim Trunks

==========================================

Three weeks ago two pairs of Rawganique’s Organic Hemp Swim Trunks showed up at my doorstep. I’m not one to purchase most of my clothes new, choosing to save a dime instead. But I do prefer to encourage organic products over traditionally manufactured items, and as I was in need of more shorts, I figured to try something new.

Never having worn much hemp before, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would they be scratchy and stiff? Would the colors fade easily? Special machine washing instructions? It turns out, I need not worry as much as I had.

These shorts are extremely comfortable. I’m the kind of person given to living in a particular comfortable set of clothes for days on end. Maybe you didn’t want to know this about me, but if something is that comfortable I actually look forward to putting it on each day (within cleanliness reason). When they first showed up I wore one pair for 3 days and the other pair for 4 to get a feel for them.

I absolutely love these shorts. The fabric loosens up after a washing and is a medium soft. Not as soft as some more plush cottons, but not denim either. The fit is relaxed and the drawstrings long enough to accommodate a large lunch eaten too fast. The back zippered pocket works well while not allowing my wallet to turn sideways (something that ALWAYS annoys me in the wrong pair of shorts). I haven’t used the hidden key pocket or the velcroed pocket as of yet. The main pockets are ample with a nice deep collar making them easy to access while seated.

Even though they are touted as swim trunks, there is no internal liner. Instead, the fabric is simply lighter than their regular shorts to help while swimming and drying. My shorts have not been in the water yet so I can not comment on their swimability.

I rate these a 9 out of 10 for looks, color, fit and comfort. I can’t seem much of anything that needs to be adjusted but still need some time to test durability.

Trader Joe’s Organic Red Wine….CHEAP!!

Peter — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:29:29 +0000

Ahhh…..CROW (Cheap, Red Organic Wine)….one of my favorite drinks. And now Trader Joe’s has brought the goodness to market. Kim and I have been shopping there for a good many years and it’s always hit or miss with the organic wine in general. They always tend to have Bonterra in stock for a good price, but our local store has been shy of what we really want. Commenting on it each time seems to have helped. This trip we found two organic red wines besides Bonterra and boy were they cheap!

The Trader Joe’s wine is a Syrah and I opened our first bottle last night to try a sip. At $4.99/bottle I took a chance and bought three bottles. This isn’t your normal ‘put it in a cellar and enjoy later’ type of wine. Although it does need to breath a fair amount, the wine is drinkable now. It’s a little too tart when first opened but will soon mellow to be a fairly husky syrah with not as much complexity as you might expect. And yet, it’s yummy. Very yummy.

The other bottle we bought was a dollar more and when I get around to having a drink of that, I’ll let you know if it’s worth it as well. For $5, the Trader Joe’s Syrah is well worth the cost. Unfortunately you can never quite know when or where it’ll be in stock, so crab a case when you can. The more demand placed on organic products the more they’ll continue to produce, which we think is a good thing.
