The images are super cool and only organic cotton is used.  The shirts and onesies are packaged in unbleached coffee bags, which are easily then reused at the coop for organic coffee.

The bag lists the ingredients, “one unbleached organic cotton t-shirt roasted with love, laughter and comfort”.  Thus, Baby Blend Tees are T-Shirts for the Daily Grind!

My fave shirt is the Beach Cruiser; I’d wear it if it came in my size!  Of course, the tee or onesie is made from 100% organic cotton and printed with water based inks. Why organic?

We, at Baby Blend Tees, buy organic fruits and vegetables and shop regularly at all of the environmentally friendly stores around, yet it is very difficult to find hip, fun clothes that are made with organic cotton for our children.   We decided to look into printing our designs on organic cotton and found it to be a feasible idea - so along came Baby Blend Natural Tees.

Conventional cotton farming makes up less than 3% of the agricultural farmlands in the world, but it accounts for 25% of the insectcide [sic] and pesticide use.

Like many of the eco-friendly companies we feature on Eco Child’s Play, Baby Blend Tees was started by a mom and is socially responsible. The company is a member of 1% for the Planet.

As a recently-established brand, they first focused
on making sweatshop-free t-shirts (printed with water-based inks), but
will soon be offering their popular styles on organic cotton,
furthering their commitment to bettering the planet. By signing up for
the company’s e-mail newsletter, you are entered into a monthly drawing to win a free Wisdom Tee.

WT’s
first three designs, sporting text statements, have been featured in a
wide variety of media outlets and still get oodles of attention.
"Buddha is my homeboy," "peacemaker," and "one planet, one karma" are
still available in the company’s online store, as well as four new
designs. Three of the new graphics available feature artistic images of
the most well-known social and spiritual legends: Mother Theresa, Dalai
Lama, and Ghandi.

Last but not least, the company’s first organic
cotton shirt for men and women displays a delicately simple list of
inspirational and centering words, no doubt representing the purity of
the organic cotton the tees are made of. Prices range from $28-$36 for
women’s t-shirts and $26-$34 for men’s styles. Ten percent of all money
made from purchases is donated to Kiva,
a non-profit website that loans money to small businesses in developing
