What does “fair trade certified” mean?
Fair trade certification ensures that farmers and workers receive fair pay, safe working conditions, and investment in their communities. It supports transparent and ethical supply chains.

Yes — we offer fair trade instant coffee sticks and bulk ground or whole bean options suitable for any hospitality setup.
Do you supply fair trade tea in individually wrapped formats?
Absolutely — we stock fair trade tea in tag & envelope wrappers, loose leaf, and premium blends ideal for guest trays and dining areas.
Are your fair trade sugar sticks recyclable?
Yes — our Wheatleys Fairtrade White Sugar Sticks are fully recyclable, helping you reduce waste and meet sustainability goals.

Offering a selection is easy. With small pack sizes available in most products you can offer a wide range of drinks and flavours to your guests without a big hit to your budget. Buy as few as 25 teabags per flavour to keep stock fresh and buy the firm favourites in bulk to reduce costs.
Fairtrade Coffee & Tea
By choosing products that are Fairtrade certified, you’re sending a message to your customers that you’re serious about where your tea, coffee, fruit tea, hot chocolate and sugar comes from and the people and communities who produce it. Out of Eden stock an extensive range of Fairtrade single serving hot beverage sachets and tea bags and herbal infusions from leading brand Clipper, and Wheatleys, which are exclusively available from us. Other leading brands such as Taylors of Harrogate are part of the Ethical Tea Partnership and, along with Twinings, have Rainforest Alliance accreditations.
