Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti during their recovery. We've created a gift set to help spread the love this Valentine's Day. With every gift set, we're donating $1 to ongoing relief efforts in Haiti. The non-profit recipient, Partners In Health, has been a major asset in Haiti since 1985, helping people who can't otherwise afford medical care. Their existing infrastructure and local roots make them a critical force during Haiti's current recovery.

HEARTS FOR HAITI includes a pink Tuffy Steeper, large tins of Meditative Mind and Bolder Breakfast loose teas, and a Thank You note for supporting the current efforts in Haiti. Meditative Mind was created to bring quiet alertness to the mind and soothe the soul. It combines white tea with jasmine pearls and rosebuds. In contrast, Bolder Breakfast offers a bold, robust, caffeine-charged black tea base blended with chocolate. This combination of teas puts a new twist on giving roses and chocolate! The Tuffy Steeper makes it simple to brew loose teas in any conventional-sized mug, like the ones found in every office's kitchen. Hint... Send this gift to your sweetheart at work, and this little box wrapped up in a pink bow will be the envy of the office!

Features:

• Loose Tea Infuser: Tuffy Steeper
• Large 2oz tin of Meditative Mind tea
• Large 3.25oz tin of Bolder Breakfast tea
• Spreading some love to Haiti too!

An Update From Sweet Leaf

A few posts ago I mentioned Haiti Relief Efforts from Sweet Leaf...since then I have been in contact with one of the girls at the company and she's updated me on their efforts and progress in their fundraiser - see below...

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the fundraiser. We're still collecting funds from some of the other businesses that participating, but in total, we'll have raised more than $6000 that can go to immediate use thanks to everyone's efforts. It was amazing to see everything come together so quickly - thank you all so much!!

The money basically fills three large vans or small planes full of food, water, and medical supplies, along with other miscellaneous needs. Here's one example of a van-load of supplies that Makarios put together:

20 tarps
300 diapers
120 bags of oatmeal
15 cases of water
240 pounds of salamis
228 pounds of powdered milk
20 containers of cooking oil
30 cans of beans
75 pounds of rice
15 boxes baby cereal
Antibiotics and painkillers for 80 people
an assortment of other medical supplies
