What is fair trade tea?
For those of you who aren’t familiar with what fair trade is all about, it’s a wonderful thing for the world. From the Fair Trade USA site:
Fair Trade supports a better life for tea workers by guaranteeing compliance with national and regional minimum wages and labor standards. Fair Trade secures freedom of association for farmers and workers, and facilitates democratic decision-making processes. Small-scale tea producers gain direct market access and improve business capacity. Fair Trade promotes the use of sustainable farming methods that are safer for humans and the environment.
