When most of us think of a cup of tea, we think of comfort, warmth, taking a break or catching up with loved ones. What we are less likely to think about is the journey our tea has been on, the people who have carefully picked the tea leaves – carrying up to 30 kilograms on their backs at a time.

This is why Fairtrade has launched its ‘Brew it Fair’ campaign. We need transformational change in the tea sector, with tea workers, industry, governments and NGOs working together so that the people behind the tea we drink can live decent lives. At Fairtrade, we will also be evolving our work on tea, so we can take our own impact to scale.

Read the Brew it Fair report to dive deeper into the reality for tea workers today and how we can all play a part in making the trade system fairer.
