Essential Fairtrade Teas to Try
When you buy Fairtrade tea, you know your cuppa is helping support farmers and workers to create a better future.
Tea-growing communities often face low wages, long hours, gruelling work and a lack of power in a complex global supply chain.
For nearly three decades, Fairtrade has been working with tea farmers and workers towards better pay, conditions and access to rights, including through our Fairtrade Standards.
There are more than 400 Fairtrade-certified tea products available in the UK, so whatever your brew, there’s a Fairtrade option for you. Here are some of the best Fairtrade teas to get started with…
