Most of the tea sold on the Fairtrade terms comes from India, Malawi, Tanzania, Sri Lanka and Kenya. The Fairtrade Certification is open to large tea estates as well as small scale farmers and with tea being an all year round crop it can have a strong impact on people\u2019s lives. Fairtrade\u2019s investment in the Fairtrade Premium along with higher labour standards means tea estate workers benefit from improved working conditions and terms of employment, and importantly the opportunity to plan for the future.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/fairtrade_towns.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10000 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/uk-fairtrade-organisations.jpg\" alt=\"UK Fairtrade Organisations\" width=\"820\" height=\"562\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/uk-fairtrade-organisations.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/uk-fairtrade-organisations-300x206.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.garstang.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Garstang<\/a> in Lancashire become the World\u2019s first Fairtrade town.
