to think that Asda extra special Rwandan teabags...

[hugoagogo]

make the loveliest cup of tea ever?

[MaMattoo]

Sounds delicious..will try next time I go.
Fair trade has complex applications and understandings..same as Organic, ..be careful of flaming others..

[hugoagogo]

Well yes, would you believe I was involved with a fair trade charity 20 years ago, but things are complex; especially in Rwanda and tea has (I am told) played a big part in the country's recovery over the last 10 years or so.

I really didn't want to get into the ethics of tea- just that it tastes really good, but if anyone knows where I can buy rwandan tea that is fair trade, I would love to give it a try.

Does everybody buy fair trade everything or is it just tea that gets pounced on?

If you aren't buying fair trade bog rolls and air freshener then you might as well just black up, because it's basically the same.

[McNewPants2013]

I will get my mum to buy them, she will drink any tea.

[JamieandtheMagicTorch]

I'd like to try it.

[Wonderstuff]

flatpackhamster that made me cry so funny.

[ladylambkin]

I bought them...they were reduced to 50p a box. What a bargain

[Onethingatatime]

PMSL at flatpack!

[hugoagogo]

They have disappeared from my asda.

Not even an empty space, does that mean they have stopped making them, do you think?

I really need an alternative source of rwandan tea.

[Horsemad]

Has anyone tried Tescos own brand decaf teabags? They make a good cuppa!

[hugoagogo]

Yeah I have, they are not bad for decaf.

[JazzDalek]

YANBU! We've been buying them for months now, very reasonably priced and they do make a nice cup, clean and bright.

I got 3 boxes for 50p each the other day, hope they aren't disconned

[FreudiansSlipper]

i saw Rwandan tea the other day i think it was in sainsburys but i opted for twinings

shall try it though as i like strong tea
