Fairtrade Fortnight 2010 – Make the change and make a difference.

Brew Ha Fairtrade Purosa

Brew Ha Fairtrade Purosa

May 1 to May 16 is Fairtrade Fortnight, an annual event that is designed to heighten the awareness of the positive benefits of the Fair Trade campaign and get people to make the switch to Fair Trade Stuff – Coffee, tea, bananas, chocolate – even your cotton tee shirts.

What is Fair Trade?

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

Why Change to Fairtrade?

With 2bn people living on less than $2 a day – swapping your usual stuff for Fairtrade stuff helps create a better life for the coffee and cocoa growers, tea pluckers, cotton pickers and banana growers and their families. As well as a guaranteed minimum price, the extra Fairtrade Premium empowers growers to invest in the future for their communities and help themselves out of poverty.

How can you make the swap?

This month when you purchase your coffee, consider the switch to our Brew-Ha PNG Purosa ‘A’ Fair Trade Organic Coffee.

Brew-Ha PNG Purosa ‘A’ Fair Trade Organic Coffee is grown in the Eastern Highlands Province of New Guineas and is undoubtedly one of the best coffees Brew-Ha Roasts.

The Brew-Ha PNG Purosa ‘A’ Fair Trade Organic produces a beautiful nutty, chocolate flavour in the cup with a slight fruity finish in the aftertaste. The coffee is known for its uniformity in colour, body, flavour , aroma and acidity.

A truly special coffee that also guarantees farmers and workers from developing countries better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade.

Available as whole beans or ground , try Brew-Ha PNG Purosa ‘A’ Fair Trade Organic Coffee today.

The Cart, Hanoi, Vietnam

Thu, 17 May 2012 02:44:19 PDT

Location: Hanoi, Vietnam Fantastic little watch the world go by neighbourhood place - might be handy if your're staying in the nearby Intercontinental or Sheraton Hotels as it is located literally between the two of them. I had a very decent latte - they use Punto Italia coffee. I love the Vietnamese coffee but sometimes you crave those Italian beans. Also, get this, they do wonderful...


Coffee To Go (AS), Aix-en-Provence, France

Thu, 17 May 2012 01:08:09 PDT

Location: Aix-en-Provence, France Sometimes it’s nice to have a taste of home when you’ve been on holidays for a while. After a month on the road we’ve been craving great Australian style coffee. Don’t get me wrong though… I enjoyed a few frappes in Greece and an espresso or two in Italy, but there’s no place like home. This morning we discovered a great little cafe in Aix called “Coffee to...


Vandys Garage, Sunshine Coast, Australia

Location: Sunshine Coast, Australia The Sunshine Coasts latest addition opened by favourite local barista Silas. Coffee expectation was therefore naturally high and didn't disappoint. Great conversion of the old garage, cool vibes and atmos. The back verandah is a great sunny spot for an afternoon drop. Very excited these guys have opened up on top of Buderim adding to the great local coffee...


Youeni Foodstore - Surry Hills, Sydney, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 19:10:36 PDT

Location: Sydney, Australia Just opened this week, and pretty close to their other store - but it seems to be working for them. Pretty incredible looking food and fresh baked pastries everyday - they're making everything in house, and apparently roasting their own beans too. The service was sharp and a little old-school (just maybe the good-old-fashioned-service has returned?!). While I waited...


Almina Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 18:23:26 PDT

Location: Melbourne, Australia Spacious and comfortable with an excellent choice of filled baguettes, sandwiches and salads. Excellent coffee and a great place to catch up on emails between meetings in Docklands.


Seabreeze Cafe, Melbourne, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 17:52:32 PDT

Location: Melbourne, Australia Dimattina coffee. Nothing amazing but quite drinkable. Beachside location is the obvious drawcard here.


The Lab Cafe (Sutherland), Sydney, Australia

Wed, 16 May 2012 15:34:16 PDT

Location: Sydney, Australia Not bad coffee but is it worth the long wait to get it? Especially when there is only 3 people ordering...

Old Empire Tea House, Wagga Wagga, Australia

Tue, 15 May 2012 23:12:43 PDT

Location: Wagga Wagga, Australia Nice newly open cafe. Friendly owner and staff, always happy to have a chat. Don't let the name confuse you they specialize in tea but are passionate with their coffee as well. Not a place to miss in wagga.

Telescope, Paris, France

Tue, 15 May 2012 11:38:03 PDT

Location: Paris, France Just up from Palais Royal and the Louvre, this bright little cafe served me a stunning, thick, creamy macchiato to go. With amazing coffee hard to find in Paris, I'll definitely be making a beeline for this cafe again, and will make the time to take a seat and grab a cake too. Shame I was on the go!!


Vertigo Cafe & Bar, Gold Coast, Australia

Mon, 14 May 2012 17:46:22 PDT

Location: Gold Coast, Australia A Quiet little cafe with hide away seating below street level which is pretty funky!! Their New Espresso Botero Coffee is the best I'm yet to find in Coolangatta!! We had their gourmet sandwiches and a coffee for lunch and it was the best we have had in a very long time will be back for sure.
