~~ What Is Fair Trade? ~~

Fair Trade is a market based approach to solving social, economic and environmental injustice. Under Fair Trade standards, producers in developing countries are afforded economic opportunities to better their living conditions and have more control over their own lives. At the same time, environmental sustainability is given high priority as a key element in growth for c

urrent and future generations. It is a system based on transparency, communication, and understanding. The fair trade system strengthens the skills of the producers to grow and become self sufficient in the international trading arena. By connecting consumers more directly to producers in developing countries and reducing middle men, the local artisans make livable wages, and the consumers enjoy products that are backed by a unique story and history. It is a mutually beneficial relationship that leads to a more just international trading system, as well as a greater cultural understanding across boundaries. Fair Trade has seen tremendous growth in the past decade indicating that consumers have become more conscious of how and where they spend their money. It is our goal to offer the opportunity for consumers to connect with various artisans throughout the world by way of their fine craftsmanship and unique stories.

THIS WEEK FOR TEA TASTING TUESDAY THE FEATURED FLAVOR IS.....

JUSTEA PURPLE MINT : Purple Tea, Peppermint Leaves, Spearmint Leaves, Rose Petals

Made in: Kenya
Did you know that all tea comes from the jade green leaves of the tea tree, except for purple tea? This unique variety yields beautiful, vibrant purple leaves! Grown organically on small Kenyan farms, JusTea purple tea leaves are naturally purple because they contain anthocyanin, the same super antioxidants found in other purple plants like blueberries and pomegranates. Fresh and soothing, with notes of aromatic mint and rose, a cup of low-caffeine Purple Mint is sweet and refreshing. Invigorating mint leaves are beautifully balanced with delicate rose petals and smooth purple tea.
