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.

Climbing somewhere around "Pedra da Gavea" with beautiful "Zona Sul" (South Area of the beaches along the Rio coast where acai became really popular during the 80s and 90s). Two main postcards in the background: Christ The Redeemer and Sugar Loaf.

We hope these beautiful images give you an idea of what we mean when we say that Acai Roots truly isn't just a berry, it's a lifestyle. Check back soon to grab one of these tshirts for yourself or as gifts for friends and family, and in the meantime, keep enjoying your piece of Rio with Acai Roots.

Acai Roots Hit in California and Florida

For those who read regularly you may have noticed that we haven't posted
any news or articles in a few weeks. We apologize, but things have been
crazy with how popular Acai Roots is becoming, especially in California and Florida. Already carried by small stores in both states, Acai Roots is
now being carried in retail chains like Henry's and Publix, and we've
been on the road for product launches to introduce thousands to the
wonderful taste and benefits of our delicious acai smoothies, freeze
dried acai, and other products.

We thought we'd share some photos from our recent trips and events, so
you can feel like you're a part of the fast-spreading Acai Roots fever!
