As you already know, I am the spokesperson for Salada Green Tea. I talk a lot about Salada in the context of the health benefits of green tea as well as the great taste of the Salada brand. However, one of the main reasons I stand so firmly by Salada is the integrity of the company. Each bag of delicious tea is made by people who truly care and delivered through a company with a culture of giving back.
This really was demonstrated this week when they partnered with the American Cancer Society to finish the fight against cancer! Salada Tea made a monetary donation as well as a commitment to bring awareness to the American Cancer Society’s cancer research, education and prevention mission. You can see this on the special pink labels on your favorite Salada Tea and you can visit www.cancer.org/salada to make a donation yourself!
As if just the act of giving wasn’t enough, it turns out there are also some health benefits linked to your good deed. Check out my latest Salada Tea video below as well as the full press release for more details about Salada’s partnership with the American Cancer Society!
And remember, a few small steps can lead to big changes.
