 October is Fair Trade Month! At the HomePage we take fair trade very seriously! As you know, all of our coffees and teas are organic and fair trade. All of our Zimbabwean artwork and handicrafts are purchased directly from the artists and artisans, all of whom are paid a fair price for their works.
In honor of Fair Trade Month we once again are having a raffle, the proceeds of which will be donated to Coffee Kids, an organization whose mission is to help children in coffee producing countries. We will be raffling off a gift basket filled with wonderful fair trade products valued at $280! Included in the basket are the following items:
- 16-inch Zimbabwe Tonga basket
- Zimbabwean hand crochet tablecloth with 6 napkins
- Zulu herb basket
- Numi Boquet--bamboo box with 9 flowering teas
- 2 Divine Chocolate bars
- Choice Organic Tea--Rooibos with Vanilla
- Fair trade burlap Cafe Femenino coffee bag/tote bag
- 1-lb Peruvian Cafe Femenino fair trade coffee beans
- 6-inch handmade Yunnan clay tea storage jar
- 3 Zimbabwean Christmas ornaments made from the
