Enjoy bags of flavour with our Fairtrade tea

Did you know The Co-operative is the largest retailer to convert all tea, coffee and hot chocolate to Fairtrade

The Co-operative 99 tea is one of the best loved brews in the UK.  In February 2008 we converted our entire range of own brand tea to Fairtrade.  Along the way The Co-operative Fairtrade 99 tea won a prestigious Supermarket Q award (the Oscars of the food industry) for best quality hot drink!

For a nice, refreshing cup of tea, try any one of our Fairtrade teas - blended from the finest, freshest leaves from India and East Africa - you won’t be disappointed.

So whatever your preference, make it a cup of Fairtrade - it means a fairer price is paid to the producer and doesn’t mean you’re paying over the odds yourself.  So it’s fair for everyone.

Tea - getting the right blend, fairly.

Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world.  The Co-operative was proud to source the first available Malawian Fairtrade tea for 99 blend.

The difference that our commitment to Fairtrade is making is already visible in Malawi, with clean water and medication reaching communities for the first time. 

Thousands of smallholder farmers, who have organised themselves as a trust, are now reaping the rewards of all their hard work.
