Honest Tea

The Date: Wednesday, October 20

The Delivery: Tea galore!

Staff Pick: New selections from our pals at Honest Tea

The DL: Full disclosure: this all came in on Friday, and we (and by we, I mean the official kombucha connoisseurs of the VNHQ, Gabrielle Pope and Lyndsay Orwig) have been hyped on Honest Tea's new kombucha varieties ever since. Honest Tea's local rep Zac Taylor is our new hero, gifting us with not only two full cases of kombucha, but also other Honest Tea delights such as Limeade and Cranberry Lemonade for those other crazy VegNews staffers who don't care for the 'bucha. One such staffer is Managing Editor Elizabeth Castoria, who redeems herself with a enviable delicious Café VegNews lunch featuring both salad and an Amy's Kitchen pot pie.

Straws!

The Date: Monday, October 4

The Delivery: Glass Dharma Glass Straws

Staff Pick: All of the straws, ready for sipping.

The DL: As we inch closer and closer to a more eco-friendly way of life, everyday objects are transforming to new and improved sustainable versions of themselves. Today, VN received a shipment of glass straws, far more earth-friendly than their plastic counterparts. We can't wait to test them out with our respective Diet Cokes, Red Bulls, Kombuchas, or water this week, all of which are a staple to our delicious lunches. Slurps up!

A Butter Scrub for Fall

The Date: Wednesday, July 21
The Delivery: Non-vegan Simmer Sauce, Kombucha, Cleansing Cream, Enzyme Peel, and Body Butter
Staff Pick: Pumpkin Spice Butter Scrub from The Body Deli
The DL: Everyone needs a good exfoliator now and then, and The Body Deli's Botanical Body Scrub promises to do just that. We're excited to slather this completely raw and organic stuff on, and the pumpkin spice flavor smells just like fall.

Color Me Kombucha

Date: Monday, July 6
The Delivery: Several colorful bottles of Kombucha
Staff Pick: Kombucha Botanica

The DL: Though it was the only delivery today, some of us love an afternoon fizzy beverage. And with colors as vibrant as the Pomegranate's pink and the Ginger Tulsi's orange, they aren't too bad to look at, either.

Not Just For Kids

Date: Monday, June 29
The Delivery: A good amount of reading material, Kombucha and Rejuvelac from the Rejuvenation Company, an Anti-Lick Strip from Nurtured Pets, and some new LäraBars
Staff Pick: The Peanut Butter Blisscrisp Jam Frakas

The DL: This bar may say it's for kids, but we're going to eat it anyway. Who says that peanut butter and chocolate-flavored snack bars are only for little ones? Definitely not the VN Staffers!

Update! These bars contain honey and are not vegan. So sorry for the mistake!

Thirsty Thursday

Date: Thursday, June 25
The Delivery: You guessed it—more kombucha
Staff Pick: The Wild Root flavor of High Country kombucha

The DL: We've heard from the grapevine that this flavor tastes similar to root beer. Kombucha floats, anyone?

Get ready! Voting for the 2009 Veggie Awards, the world's largest survey of vegetarian products, people, and places, starts July 1. Vote for your favorites in nearly 50 categories, and have a chance to win incredible prizes.

Kombucha That!

Date: Tuesday, June 16
The Delivery: Several bottles of kombucha
Staff Pick: G.T.'s Kombucha's Botanic No. 7

The DL: You either love it or hate it—there's really no in-between when it comes to your feelings on kombucha. So if you love it, check out these new botanical-infused flavors. They give you a little more bang for your buck.
