Brew it Fair – organise a tea-tasting
Tea is the world’s most popular drink apart from water – in Britain alone we drink over 100 million cups of tea every day.
But right now, too little of the money in the industry goes back to the people who grow and pick our tea. As tea drinkers we have become used to paying very little, with an average tea bag today costing just two or three pence, while the cost to grow and pick our tea is increasing. We want more people to know about this and to call on the government and tea companies to pay workers more and demand human rights.

A tea tasting is easy to arrange. Just get a selection of six or so different Fairtrade teas and let people decide which they prefer.
