Fair Trade Tea and Coffee
Posted by Ellen Hess on 3rd Oct 2022
As the cooler weather greets us, what better way to lift your spirit and stimulate your senses than with our selection of Fair Trade Teas and Coffees.
JusTea company offers us 13 different tea options including trios to fill our tastebud needs. JusTea is a Canadian-based business that works with farmers in the Nandi Hills community of Kenya to produce high quality small batch tea that is sure to be ethically sourced. The company established Kenya's first ever small-scale farmer owned artisan tea factory. JusTea is Rainforest Alliance certified, non-GMO certified by the Non-GMO Project, and a member of the Fair Trade Federation. They also hold the first ever Cottage-Industry Tea Processing license from the Tea Board of Kenya. Fifteen dollars for an individual tea variety and twenty dollars for a trio, will get you around 45 cups of tea, about 90 cups if you re-steep. We highly recommend the black tea trio for those desiring a little caffeinated treat to add to their Autumn day. The black tea trio includes African chai, Kenyan earl gray, and Mt. Kenya black, yummy and invigorating flavors.
Furthermore, if more caffeine is what you're desiring, we now carry our specialty coffee from La Monarca Bakery out of Los Angeles. We're pleased to provide you with two coffee options, single origin Cafe Oaxaca Reserve Fair Trade coffee, and Cafe De Olla Coffee which stimulates the senses with cinnamon and brown cane sugar. La Monarca, donates 1% of their sales to Ecolife Conservation, to save the monarch butterfly, a support programs in Michoacan, Mexico, the owners' hometown.
We hope our selection of teas and coffees leave you equipped you with the sensory magic to warm up your body on these cooler days ahead.
