Have you ever tried Earl Grey iced tea?
Bergamot brings citrus notes that combine with elegant black tea. Serve Earl Grey tea over ice with cream that’s whipped just enough to swirl with the tea in lazy curls. Nothing could be cooler!
Most teas – even Fair Trade teas -- come from large-scale plantations & tea estates where workers have little say and are trapped in a system of dependency. Equal Exchange's fairly traded, organic teas are different! They buy delicious tea directly from democratically-organized groups of growers. When small-scale farmers gain access to the global market, they have more economic power, better lives & healthier communities. Equal Exchange’s mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers, and to demonstrate, through their success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic & sustainable world.
