Acai Roots Tshirts

Those of you who have with us for a while know that our love of acai is about more than just its being a delicious and healthy food, but about the active, life-loving Brazilian lifestyle and how acai is a part of it. To celebrate our love of that lifestyle, of Rio, Brazil, and of course Acai Roots, we had local Brazilian artist Dodô design a series of Acai Roots tshirts that feature famous places from around Rio and Brazil, as well as activities and scenes typically associated with "Cariocas" and the growth in popularity of acai. These handmade shirts will soon be for sale on our website and part of the proceeds will go Rhythm of Hope, our NGO partner that helps marginalized communities in Brazil.
