Just Change tea is imported and distributed in the North by Northern Tea Merchants, Chesterfield and in the south by Marsh Farm Outreach Ltd, a community enterprise based in Luton.
3 Reasons to buy Just Change tea
1) buying JC tea directly benefits the growers. They set a fair price for their tea and there are no middle men taking a cut.
2) buying JC tea is cheaper than almost any other Fairtrade brand AND Own brand tea from a supermarket. And it tastes a lot better!
3) the more tea we sell, the more money goes to the Marsh Farm community in Luton, helping to create small businesses and jobs in the UK.
What does it cost?
The cost of Just Change products is determined on the basis of a partnership between farmers and consumers so that trade benefits poor people in both communities. This means that it is up to you to decide how much you want or can afford to add to the minimum price to help us develop a fairer way of trading.
When Just change tea is sold through a shop (also a member of the Just Change network), the shop owner decides how much to add to the minimum price and what price to sell it at.
Below are the current minimum prices. They include a fair price set by the producers, the cost of packaging getting the tea from India to you and our basic running costs:
-
Product Price 1 pack: 80 tea bags
£ 1.65 1 catering pack: bag of 800 tea bags
£16.00
If you would like to add a premium but are unsure how much to add, as a guide a pack of 80 tea bags in a supermarket would cost about £2.50. You will often find them sold more cheaply when supermarkets use tea as a "loss leader" - ie they artificially reduce the price and make a loss to encourage people to shop there and buy other, more profitable goods. It is often the producer who bears the burden of this loss.
