Posted on the 29 January 2012 by Courtyb34 @CourtyB34
After days of waiting for my little package to arrive, yesterday (Saturday), right before I was about to leave to babysit, my Eco Emi package came! I was very excited to open it. Eco Emi is my parent's gift to me, so of course they wanted to watch me open it. I waited till this morning to open it. Opening my Eco Emi box was so much fun! Lots of cool fair trade items, and organic teas and what not. I had a blast! Inside the box, there are coupons for the products! Being an Eco Emi member gives you tons of discounts and coupons. I was squealing while opening the box, it's like a little Christmas gift with a bunch of little gifts inside! So cute and fun! So girly. This is the package :) If you have read through out my whole blog, you know I like to photograph every step of the way, so this is the first step! (I used a sweater and a little jacket thing as the background)January Eco Emi Box! (1st Of Many)And when I opened the package, after a while of the tape and I fighting (The tape was being difficult) I got it open and I was greeted by a pretty blue tissue paper. (It's a little blurry because of the lighting :(.)January Eco Emi Box! (1st Of Many)The tissue paper was so pretty! Inside the tissue paper was a pretty navy blue velvet bag, holding all my organic/fair trade goodies and coupons!

Tea Gschwendner . I got a Marani Green Tea and Acerola Fruit Tea-no caffeine.On the card it says, "The Marani tea has been a popular flavored Green tea for many years in Europe and the US. This is a tropical paradise of fruit flavors spiked with pineapple and green tea from Japan and China. The Acerola Fruit Tea features a tart hibiscus joined by the cherry-like acerola fruit. This sweet, sour flavor is enhanced by candied pineapple ad papaya pieces. Excellent iced and incredible hot. We have included two empty tea bags for you to make your tea in."
