Children orphaned by HIV/AIDS face not only the loss of one or both of their parents and possibly being infected themselves, they are also at an extreme risk of being physically or sexually exploited, neglected, and outcast from society. In most cases, they drop out of school and face uncertain and precarious futures.

About Zawadi African Tea:

Zawadi African Tea ( www.zawadiafricantea.com ), importers, and wholesalers of fine pure, black teas from the highlands of Kenya , is based in the Oakland , CA . The tea, organically grown and harvested by Kenyan family farmers, is made from the best part of the Kenyan tea plant-the buds or 'tippy'-making it grade #1 tea. Zawadi African Tea offers two products: Jambo! Pure Black Tea and Safari "Spiced" Chai Tea.

Zawadi African Tea has a rich full-bodied flavor, color, and texture and a definite 'pick-me-up' with half the caffeine, and without the 'highs' and 'lows' of coffee. Zawadi African Tea is also full of antioxidants that can help prevent cancer, heart disease, strokes, cavities, and tumors, help people lose weight, as well as other health benefits.

Pure Kenyan black tea is new in America . For many years, it was available only through the 400 year-old British tea auction monopoly that sold to the Middle East and Europe as the popular blended tea- English breakfast.

Zawadi, meaning "a gift" in Swahili, is the name appropriately chosen to call the company, not only because of the gift Zawadi donates to Kenyan children, but it also represents a 'gift' of economic independence to Kenyan tea farmers, whom for many years have barely made enough money to survive.

After only 6 months, over 30 Northern California supermarkets, gourmet shops and cafes are currently carrying Zawadi African Tea. For a complete list of establishments where consumers can purchase Zawadi African Tea by city and county, to order Zawadi African Teas, or to learn more about Zawadi African Tea, go to: www.zawadiafricantea.com , or call Robert Kihanya, or Marie Clark at 510-553-9988.
