Meteor Email not defined, but is running from Meteor.methods in Server Directory

I have the following Meteor method set up inside my server directory:

// Defined in collections/collections.js
Meteor.methods({
    sendEmail: function(options) {
        this.unblock();
        Email.send(options);
    }
});

which I call like this: 

// Defined in client/main.js
Meteor.call('sendEmail', {
    to: '[email protected]', from: '[email protected]',
    text: 'testing testing'
});

I get one error in server shell running Meteor:

Exception while invoking method 'sendEmail' { stack: 'ReferenceError: Email is not defined\n    at [object

Object].Meteor.methods.sendEmail (app/server/methods/reservations.js:82:4)\n at [object Object].methodMap.(anonymous function) (packages/meteorhacks_kadira/lib/hijack/wrap_session.js:164:1)\n at maybeAuditArgumentChecks (packages/ddp-server/livedata_server.js:1711:12)\n at packages/ddp-server/livedata_server.js:711:19\n at [object Object]._.extend.withValue (packages/meteor/dynamics_nodejs.js:56:1)\n at packages/ddp-server/livedata_server.js:709:40\n at [object Object]._.extend.withValue (packages/meteor/dynamics_nodejs.js:56:1)\n at packages/ddp-server/livedata_server.js:707:46\n at tryCallTwo (/Users/sltwtr/.meteor/packages/promise/.0.7.3.1y6b71x++os+web.browser+web.cordova/npm/node_modules/promise/lib/core.js:45:5)\n at doResolve (/Users/sltwtr/.meteor/packages/promise/.0.7.3.1y6b71x++os+web.browser+web.cordova/npm/node_modules/promise/lib/core.js:200:13)',I20160721-11:50:31.471(-7)? source: 'method' }

I've added the email package using

meteor add email

What's going on? Questions like this one or this one.

Email can only be sent from the server. Meteor.methods() is being called from the server and the client

Try the following:

Meteor.methods({
  sendEmail: function(options) {
    if(Meteor.isServer){
      this.unblock();
      Email.send(options);
    }
  }
});
