07.01.2022 It's International Tea Day! Pop the kettle and use your power as a tea drinker and consumer to improve the lives of thousands of tea workers! Assam in India is one of the biggest tea producing regions in the world. Yet many workers live in poverty, leaving them vulnerable to human trafficking. Your voice can make a difference. The #SomethingForSlavery campaign is calling on T2 to commit to paying workers a living income. T2 currently sells 100g of Assam black tea for $12, ye...t Oxfam found that workers on tea plantations in Assam receive as little as $0.06 per 100g. This is not enough to meet their basic needs. What can you do? Join the movement by following the Instagram page @somethingforslavery and send a message to T2. Or why not get some friends together and host a tea party? It will take champions, like you, to influence T2 to pay workers a wage that allows them to live with safety and dignity. The Trading Circle stands for fair wages and fair trade and we hope everyone else does, too. Pop into the shop if you looking for some fair trade tea for your tea party today! #beaware #somethingforslavery #fairtrade #youcanchangetheworld
