Fairtrade Tea Tasting

February 24, 2015Jo Hussain

Fairtrade fortnight has started and today we were delighted to have Paul Tiony, a Fairtrade tea producer from Kenya, along with Sue Errington and Alison Derrick from Devon Development Education come in to school and talk to children about Fairtrade.

Children from Cockwood and Westcliff Schools as well as students at Dawlish Community College heard all about the important work Fairtrade do to support tea producers in Kenya. It was especially interesting to hear from Paul about his first hand experience and see pictures from his farm with his workers. You can click here to see Paul’s presentation.

The primary school children were then encouraged to try four different types of tea and describe not only the flavour, but the aroma and appearance too. One child said “it looks like cinnamon and tastes like christmas decorations” while another thought “it smells like smokey bacon and tastes like spicy water”

Paul also taught the children some Swahili and they learnt how to say Hello (Jambo) and Goodbye (Kaw heri) which they enjoyed saying to each other whilst shaking hands.

The teachers were also very pleased to be presented with a box of Fairtrade teabags as a gift for the school staff room.

A wonderful and insightful morning was had by all.
