Cusa Tea & Coffee's newest Dirty Chai and Mocha flavors were recently launched with a widely successful Kickstarter campaign, which raised $13,000, meeting its funding goal of $5,000 in less than 24 hours. Based in Boulder, Colorado, Cusa Tea & Coffee specializes in instant coffee beverages that are not only convenient but also sustainable -- featuring Rainforest Alliance certification.
While Cusa Tea & Coffee's Dirty Chai: Rainforest Alliance Certified™ coffee is "blended with organic tea and delicious Indian spices like cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove and black pepper, for a smooth and slightly spicy" flavor profile, its Mocha: Rainforest Alliance Certified™ coffee boasts "earthy raw cacao" for a chocolatey and holiday-friendly treat.
The two new flavors can be enjoyed both hot or iced and feature 7 servings inside each pack.
