All our loose leaf teas come from ethical and organic/biodynamic estates. We pay a very high price for all our teas to our suppliers but especially the loose leaf teas. So instead of routing the funds via the Fairtrade foundation we have decide to pay the extra premium direct to our Tea partners for the loose leaf Tea range. It means we don’t use the Fairtrade logo on the packaging but our partners still receive the same all round support from us.
