Y’all.... it’s here. Say hi to the Espresso and Tonic. If you need refreshment for this beautiful weather, this is the drink for you. Slightly bitter, slightly sweet, with a splash of herbal flair thanks to some house made Rooibos Simple Syrup, the E+T features notes of strawberry, watermelon, and cinnamon. Small and mighty at 9oz over ice, this drink will pick you up and slow you down, best sipped over the course of the afternoon, this is a coffee worth savoring.

Due to the more complex and time sensitive distribution process in produce supply chains, avocados provide a whole different set of challenges for Equal Exchange.

So what is going on with the avocado strikes that just ended in Mexico? How is Equal Exchange a true alternative in this space? Read our newest blog post by Meghan Bodo of OKE, USA to learn more. Link in the bio.
