The Fair trade Foundation has become a household name and we all recognise the circular logo on our tea, coffee and chocolate.
The Fair trade Foundation has done terrific work giving farmers and farm workers better prices, decent working conditions and local sustainability around the world. Where ever possible we should look for their logo on our produce.
However, registration and certification is beyond the means if many small producers. Help is at hand and it comes to us in the same way as our successful local farmers market; buying direct from the producer, seeing the product direct to our kitchens, talking to the growers and relishing the taste, smell and colours of wonderful produce.
We all love a good cup of coffee, don't we?
Unfortunately coffee doesn't grow in the UK but Ethical Addictions have brought the same "farm direct" approach to our favourite beverage. Every one of Ethical Addictions speciality coffees comes direct from the farm ensuring even smaller growers can trade in a good way.
I've recently been trying Machare Kilimanjaro coffee. It comes in a very plain looking brown sealed bag with minimal packaging and labelling.
When you break the seal you're in for a real treat! The aroma of pure ground coffee bursts from the pack. Simply add a good spoonful to a cafetiere pour on some freshly boiler water, wait a few minutes and press the plunger.
This coffee is as good as it gets. I like a coffee with a splash of milk and a brown sugar cube, With a strong yet smooth flavour it's ideal as a break time treat.
What's great about Ethical Additions coffee is that you can treat yourself to a luxurious cup of coffee and relax knowing the farm have had a good deal too.
We're now stocking this range of coffee and accessories on our website, my next choice will be the Brazilian Rain forest, a milder but nutty variety. Why not treat yourself with a gift pack today?
