Fairtrade Fortnight will take place from Monday 22 September – Sunday 5 October 2025.
And this year, it is all about tea!
Tea is the world’s most popular drink (apart from water). In Britain alone, we drink over 100 million cups of tea every day. The production of this tea provides work for 13 million people globally – but only 1 in 5 tea farmers and workers earn enough every month to support their families with the essentials.
As individuals and organisations, we have the power to change this, one cup at a time. By choosing Fairtrade tea, we can collectively help protect nature, support communities overseas, and ensure the people behind our tea are paid fairly, treated with respect, and able to adapt to climate change. It’s a small act with a powerful ripple effect.
How can you get involved?
This Fairtrade Fortnight we are asking YOU plan a tea-themed event – for your colleagues, members, clients, service-users or friends and family. It could be a simple tea and chat, a bake-off or cake sale using tea as a key ingredient, an afternoon tea party or an evening reception with tea-based cocktails. Or just introduce Fairtrade tea to one of your regular meetings or events. There are many ways to enjoy the nation’s favourite drink, and it tastes even better when it’s Fairtrade certified!
