Traidcraft Shop

Traidcraft is the UK's leading fair trade organisation and their online shop offers the widest range of products in the UK. Their mission is to fight poverty through trade, practising and promoting approaches to trade that help poor people in developing countries transform their lives. They choose to work with poor and small-scale producer groups. These foiled mini eggs from Divine Chocolate are perfect for Easter, sharing or decorating cupcakes. They are the only fairtrade chocolate company which is 45% owned by the farmers.

Cafedirect products, including Classic Freeze Dried, Classic Decaff and speciality coffees are also stocked.
There is a wide variety of Fair Trade Tea to choose from, and the weekend is a perfect time to use leaf tea.
Beautiful pieces of Recycled Glassware made in Crisil, a glass making factory in Cochabamba, central Bolivia. They make handmade glass products and I particularly like the engraved star tumblers.

Over ten years ago Traidcraft helped establish the Fairtrade Mark. Fairtrade Fortnight this year was from 27th February to 11th March 2012 but we can all play an important part by buying fairtrade throughout the year.
