If 10,000 SF Biters drink one cup of organic tea instead of conventional tea each day for a year, we'll prevent a quarter-ton of pesticides from entering the environment.
Natives of both Lincolnshire and Copthorne, England, are referred to as "yellowbellies," although it's a term of endearment to them.
Lily-livered Lover
The Bite
Got a crush, but too chicken to send flowers? Go halfway and buy 'em some Numi Flowering Tea, a cool new tea variety that slowly blossoms into a lily, rosebud, jasmine flower, or amaranth when submerged in hot water for steeping. We're white tea fans ("snobs" is such a harsh word), so we dig the citrus-y Dragon Lily variety. Numi teas are organic and fair-trade certified, so they're free of pesticides and support small-scale farmers. They're also packaged in 100% recycled paper, cutting down paper use (instead of trees). A sure way to soothe your yellowbelly.
Wanna Try
Numi Tea, available online or at the Numi Tea Garden, 2230 Livingston St. at 22nd Ave., Oakland (877-NUMI-TEA). Box of Exotic Bouquet Flowering Tea, $11; Dancing Leaves (glass) Teapot (w/5 blossoms), $27.
