2 Our Mission We give consumers healthier, more sustainable food and beverage choices by providing tasty products that are certified to be pollution free, toxin free, fair traded and locally produced.

3 This is not your Dad’s cup of Joe (or tea or cocoa)! Beverages are considered to be a crowded category of competitive brands. The products Ambassador Organics sells are entirely different than the multiplicity of conventional options on the shelf. Our products have NO pollutants, pesticides, artificial chemicals or toxins. We offer customers, whether those who have suffered a health event or those who simply do not want to further stress their bodies with unwanted carcinogens, a choice they would not otherwise have. 11/18/133

4 4 Why Organic? When you drink coffee or tea, you are drinking a bean or a leaf infused in water. You can have a pure bean and a clean leaf, or one that may have been grown or treated with artificial chemicals. By LAW, products certified as organic may not have any artificial chemicals. These are some of the artificial chemicals used to make conventional coffee or tea: COFFEETEA Endosulfan *( banned in 34 countries as carcinogenic) HCH-hexachlorocyclohexane Diazinon (Basudin)DDT-Dicholordiphenyltricholroetha Methyl ParathionPermethrin TriadimefonFenvalerate DeltamethrinCarfentrazone-ethyl DisulfotonSpinosad Flouzifop-P-butyl Chlorpyrifos (Dursban) Why Biodynamic? Biodynamic organic is produced the way farming has been done for centuries. It is the authentic organic. It uses the most sustainable organic farming methods. Based on holistic principles that consider all creation connected, biodynamics regards the farm as a complete system and focuses on using the best water and the purest soil and compost. Rudolph Steiner, a philosopher of the early 20 th Century, prescribed biodynamics as a way of producing food that was more nutritious for our bodies and better for our planet. Why Ambassador Brand ®Products? Our shade grown, single estate coffees and whole leaf teas come from Demeter certified biodynamic organic farms, and are certified Fair Trade by Transfair, the internationally recognized organization dedicated to fighting poverty one farm at a time. Enjoy these healthier versions of the things you love!

10 Our Niche Consumer demand for organic products outstrips supply Growth in consumer demand for organics has created a unique segment of the food market that represents uncharted territory in the industry 38 million people, or 18% of US shoppers, are defined as “core” organics consumers, who actively seek food products free of pesticides and chemicals, who read labels for guarantees of quality and nutritional content, who look for certifications, and who are motivated by value concepts such as sustainability and fair trade “Core” organics consumers, along with the “occasional” organics consumer created a multi billion dollar market that grew even in the depths of the recession at a 9% annual rate.

12 Product Specifics Organic Should only be used by products certified by the US Department of Agriculture as free of toxins, pesticides, or other pollutants All Ambassador Organics products are certified by the USDA as organic Biodynamic This refers to a method of agriculture that resembles the old ways of companion planting, crop rotation, and use of “preparations” consisting of herbs,sand and manure to cure soil deficiencies. Our teas and coffees are certified biodynamic; cocoa and olive oil are certified organic only. Fair Trade Our imported products are certified Fair Trade by the only international certifier that fair wages are paid to farm workers. This is an important global initiative to fight poverty. Locally Produced Our company is a local Chicago company, we manufacture here and are located in the inner city. Neither coffee, nor tea, nor cocoa are grown anywhere in the US, but our olive oil comes from California, and our packaging is the most sustainably produced in the marketplace.
