 | LOOKING FOR A HEART OF GOLD?
Have you been a miner for a heart of gold? Alright, enough with the Neil Young references. Heart of gold in this case refers to this box of Fair Trade milk chocolate tied up with heart ribbon. It's sweet n thoughtful, and most importantly, at $10.75 it's easy on the budget! Each gift bag is filled with not one, but two bundles of Fair Trade chocolate coins, approximately 34 pieces in total.
The gold coins read on both sides "FARMER OWNED" and "FAIR TRADE". Cocoa used in these chocolates is from Kuapa Kokoo, a cooperative of 40,000 cocoa growers in Ghana.

 | SF STORE ADDS NEW TEA LINE
It's called Rishi Tea, and it's an exciting new line of tea being offered at our San Francisco Store. Among the offerings...loose-leaf tea imported directly from tea gardens across Asia and Africa, made according to ancient artisanal practices using organic cultivation techniques and Fair Trade standards.
Why is Global Exchange so excited to be offering Rishi Tea? Lots of reasons. For starters, Rishi Tea offers one of the largest and most diverse varieties of Fair Trade tea, it's delicious, and the company maintains a strong personal relationship with the farmers and artisans whose families have been making traditional teas for generations. Also, Rishi Tea’s commitment to sustainability are a core company philosophy that stems from the organic tea gardens where their teas are harvested.
Rishi Tea was among the first to earn organic certification under the USDA’s Natural Organic Program in November of 2002 and at the forefront in the advancement of Fair Trade Certified tea, becoming one of the highest payers of social premiums from the sale of Fair Trade tea. The TransFair USA Fair Trade Certified projects with which Rishi partners directly support a better life for the tea-farming families and their communities through fair prices, fair wages, safe working conditions, environmental sustainability, education and community development.
Global Exchange encourages you to appreciate loose-leaf tea as though it were a fine wine; to brew it properly, use the proper teaware, and enjoy the experience that each cup brings. See you at tea time?
