Fairtrade Fortnight runs from the 22nd of February to the 8th of March 2010. This year we’re all about Fairtrade tea!
With less than 2% of all tea sold in Ireland being Fairtrade, it’s time for us all to get swapping – including the big tea companies. Call on the makers of your favourite tea to swap to a Fairtrade blend.
So, whatever your favourite tea, it’s time to make it a Fairtrade cuppa! Browse our range of Fairtrade drinks now.
 Ask the Cup of Fairtrade Tea a question, and the answer will be revealed in the tea leaves!

Fair Trade Means:
- Paying a fairer price
- Creating opportunities for products from economically disadvantaged producers
- Providing feedback and assistance to producers for improvement in design, production and business skills
- Purchasing products as directly as possible from the producers
- Long term trading commitment; creating a partnership between buyer and supplier
- Providing payment advances for the purchase of raw materials
- Promotion of safe and healthy working conditions
- Concern for human rights, especially of women and children
- Sustainable use of natural resources
Oxfam Ireland's Make Trade Fair Campaign was set up to lobby for Fair Trade at the policy level.
