My friend don Miguel was recently out looking for surf in Northern
California when he took this self-portrait. DM is one of the founders
of Guayaki,
the leading company that brings us a fairly traded organic green tea
called yerba
mate which helps me survive these cold gray Pacific Northwest
winters.

Don Miguel, David Karr, Pierre Ferrari and the rest of their
crew are doing an amazing job with their company, bringing high quality
yerba mate products to the US while generating money to reforest large
areas of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.

Look for it in your local grocery market, or if you are in Northern
California, stop by their new cafe at 6784 Sebastopol Avenue.

What a great pairing to help survive the winter blues…two
eco-friendly Fair Trade products that get your body moving and
energized - a soccer
ball and a warm
yerba mate drink!
