Fair Trade Coffee and Tea

We have been making Fair-Trade coffees and teas available at First Presbyterian Church for twelve years or more. Through our purchases of thousands of dollars’ worth of these items, we have been able to make a difference in emerging communities in Central America, South America, Africa and Asia. We have been part of a larger movement of supporters of Fair-Trade who have helped small farm groups to build schools, water supplies and other projects to serve the growers and their families.

But, it is time to move on. Fair-Trade coffee is more widely available in our communities and you can bolster its distribution by asking for it in your local stores. Many of us are brewing single cups and no longer need what we’ve been supplying. We’ll sell what we have in stock and when that is depleted we’ll be out of the coffee/tea business.

Keep looking and seeking for Fair-Trade products in the groceries and coffee houses you shop in.

It’s still a good idea.
