“This event is a great opportunity to increase awareness of Fairtrade and of the issues faced by tea producers in the developing world,” said Rev. Dr. Scott Peddie. “By serving Fairtrade tea and coffee, raising funds for Traidcraft and campaigning to make more tea Fairtrade, we are helping to make a difference to the lives of tea producers.”
