Carley's Organic Foods<br />
New from Carley's of Cornwall we have two mustards, both of the sweet and gentle<br />
(rather than the 'remove back of head') variety. The Honey Grain is pretty self explanatory<br />
(cider vinegar, mustard seed, water, honey), the English is sweetened with agave syrup<br />
and is a turmeric yellow. For once, the boxes they tick are not figurative, but printed on<br />
the side of the jar: organic, gluten free, non GM, no added sugar, no added salt. The<br />
Honey Grain announces itself as raw as well.<br />

Convenience Foods<br />
Geo Organics - cans<br />
We all have our passions in life; some of us are birdwatchers, Airfix modellers, radio<br />
hams, gardeners, train spotters, stamp collectors, kite flyers, glass animal collectors, Fall<br />
fans. Mike from Geo Organics has a passion for canning. You should have seen his face<br />
light up when he got onto the topic. It made my heart glad. The upshot is that we have<br />
three new lines in the Geo range: Baked Beans in tomato sauce ("BITS" in the canner's<br />
lingo) sweetened with agave syrup, Hearty Thick Vegetable Hot Pot, and Mildly Spiced<br />
Thick Vegetable Stew. All tick some literal boxes on the labels (vegan, gluten free, non<br />
GM, low fat), all are organic, and the Baked Beans give anod to Magritte in a trompe l'oeil<br />
label depicting a labeless can. Ceci n'est pas un can, as we say.<br />

Hale & Hearty - Gluten Free<br />
Finally from Hale & Hearty we have an Organic Quick and Easy Falafel Mix, and an Organic<br />
4 Grain Pancake Mix containing rice, tapioca, quinoa, buckwheat, chickpea, and teff<br />
flours along with baking powder, sea salt and milled golden flax seed. Along with the rest<br />
ofthe range both products are tested at less than 20ppm gluten and carry the Crossed<br />
Grain Symbol of Coeliac UK.<br />

Japanese Products - Miscellaneous<br />
Biona<br />
New from Biona a Wasabi-style horseradish paste in a tube. Though wasabi is reputed to<br />
have efficacy against oral infections, I still think it's a mistake to mix this up with your<br />
toothpaste tube. Wasabi: kitchen. Toothpaste: bathroom. You've got to have a system.<br />

Organic Teas - Black, Green & White<br />
Hampstead - Demeter/Organic FairTrade - loose tea in tins<br />
New from Hampstead and carrying both the Fair Trade Mark and the Demeter symbol we<br />
have four loose teas in tins. They all share the fabulous livery of the boxed range (the<br />
'smoking' leaves) but are a tad more special and permanent. Would it be dreadfully<br />
gauche to mention the term 'stocking-filler' at this point? Anyway, the teas are all from the<br />
Makaibari Estate in Darjeeling - the first biodynamic tea estate in the world - situated 3-<br />
4,000ft high up in the Himalayas. The estate is protected on all sides by virgin rainforest<br />
and is the home and livelihood for a community of 1,700 people (and a family of<br />
panthers). The teas are all self-explanatory with the exception of the Biochai which is<br />
60% black tea with ginger, lemongrass, pepper, cardamom seeds, and cloves.<br />

Hampstead - Demeter/Organic FairTrade - Iced Tea - Elopak<br />
If I were dipping my toe into the chilly water that is the British iced tea market, I'm not sure I<br />
would be doing it at the start of autumn, but that is what Hampstead are doing and we<br />
love them so much that wherever they go, we follow. These are so new that the samples<br />
haven't arrived yet, so it should be quick to tell you what Iknow! Packed in tall and narrow<br />
elopaks (with a screw top) the livery complements the rest of the range (with 'smoking' ice<br />
cubes this time). If looks were all that mattered we would be home and dry. Ethically,<br />
they are biodynamic and Fair Trade Marked, they contain no artificial flavourings or<br />
colouring, and are sweetened with agave. As for taste ... watch this space ...<br />

Organic Juices & Cordials<br />
Vitamont - in glass<br />
New from Vitamont and in replacement of the discontinued Vitalia we have an Organic<br />
Red Grape Juice in glass. It is 33% bigger than the Vitalia but at the same price!<br />

Savoury Snacks<br />
Biona Artisan Potato Chips<br />
New from Biona we have a couple of Artisanal Potato Chips, one of which is flavoured with<br />
Himalayan pink salt (!). Artisanal is a word much used in the Biona range and I can't say I'm<br />
altogether happy with it. Photorealism is anal, I grant, but surely Abstract Impressionism is<br />
the opposite?<br />

Chicza - Mayan Rainforest Chewing Gum<br />
Hop onto their website - www.chicza.com - and you will find out more than you ever<br />
thought you could know about the various forms of latex and the history of gum. It's<br />
great! Harvested from the giant Chicozapote trees in the rainforests of Mexico's Yucatán<br />
peninsula by the 56 co-operatives comprising the Consorcio Chiclero, chicle is a unique<br />
form of latex (are you ready for this?) "because of its unparalleled mix of polyisoprenes<br />
that render a non-toxic, hydrophilic, non-vulcanisable substance." It is the original<br />
chewing gum as opposed to the petroleum-based muck that scars our pavements, and<br />
as well as being organic, it biodegrades. I suppose the last word should go to Mr<br />
Zimmerman, though: "Don't wanna be a bum/You better chew gum" (Subterranean<br />
Homesick Blues, 1965)<br />

Green and Black's Gift Range<br />
New from Green & Black's we have a pillow pack of The Miniature Bar Collection (ideal for<br />
sleepovers [I'm really sorry about that, but I've been under a bit of stress recently]) and a<br />
replacement for the discontinued Mint Chocolate Leaves in the ... Squares.<br />

Maverick<br />
From the same stable as the Geo Organics and Organica ranges we have the Maverick<br />
Dark Chocolate with Honeycomb Crisps. Fair Trade Marked, and vegan, though not<br />
organic (the range, as it grows, will concentrate on these three areas, though with<br />
products which may not tick all three boxes at once) the bar is a rich treat made with 70%<br />
cocoa solids, and contains little starbursts of honeycomb rather than the chocolate<br />
coated honeycomb bar of certain related products. It is an altogether denser and more<br />
satisfying experience, to be sure.<br />

Montezuma's - Milk Chocolate (the dark side)<br />
New from Monty's, along with the Xmas products to be found at the end of the catalogue,<br />
we have a couple of tweaks to the range. Below, a rich and creamy milk chocolate with<br />
butterscotch ...<br />

Montezuma's Chocolate & Fruit<br />
... and a fabulous range of organic chocolate dipped, and chocolate coated fruits. May I<br />
personally recommend the Hot Dates: "succulent tunisian dates lavishly enrobed in dark<br />
chocolate and 'hot' icing sugar" with exactly the right amount of heat to widen eyes one,<br />
two, and three.<br />
