In an effort to drink less alcohol, I’ve been trying to drink more juice. And dude, there’s some yummy stuff out there!

My current addiction: Zola Açaí, which I found at random while browsing at Co-opportunity.

Apparently, this stuff’s made of Amazonian Açaí berry, a Brazilian fruit rich in antioxidants. Plus, the company sez it’s about sustaining Amazon rainforests and supporting the co-op that picks the Açaí berries.

So since it was at already my co-op which I love, I went ahead and bought it. Super delish, with a small kick of caffeine to help me through my afternoon. I mean, I really don’t really write about juices often. And this is one that I really, really like.

But then I emailed, asking if / when they were gonna get organic certification, and if / when they were planning to join the Fair Trade Federation.

And a dude called Chris emailed back, saying organic certification’s expected in the next month, and the FTF — they’re working on that, but no ETA.

Good news, yes? So — Chris sez the new packaging — with the organic certification logo — should be out by the end of the year.

I’ll be watching for it — and drinking happily in the meantime — cuz Zola Açaí offers cocktail recipes too :P

Update, 5/12/07: I found a yummy acai sorbet too –
