| The hottest cuppa in the world
|
The move to Organic Fairtrade Tea in Darjeeling.
". . What Fairtrade does bring, however, is a premium, a communal pot of additional money
that the workers' welfare committee decides how to spend.
Anju Rai, who works in the garden's tea factory,
grading the tea for size,
can reel off a long list of all the things that the Fairtrade money has made possible:
'An ambulance, loans at low rates of interest for buying a cow,
school books for children, scholarships,
cooking gas [so that trees are not cut down for fuel],
mosquito nets and sewing machines.' . ."
