I’ve often wondered how a product that is grown on the other side of the world, in countries with serious corruption problems, can be certified as both organic and fair trade. How do you KNOW? Do you run tests for the presence of pesticides? You can’t just drive over to the plantation to see for yourself. As a tea lover, I think it would make for interesting reading.

I also wonder a bit about the part of the plant used in the beverages – tea is leaves, coffee is fruit….My plant biology is rusty, but I think that fruit tends to be a bigger investment period.
