Planet Organic Tea
Planet Organic
selects and produces nutritious, high quality certified organic
products with passion, innovation and a motivation for
excellence.
There is ever
increasing evidence on the benefits of tea drinking. Tea has
high levels of vitamins, including vitamin C, vitamin B,
riboflavin, niacin, folic acid and minerals such as potassium
and manganese. The presence of polyphenols, particularly in
green tea, gives tea high anti-oxidant properties. Polyphenols
can represent around 15% of the dry weight of tea and may assist
in the prevention of numerous types of cancer and various other
problems including heart disease.

FairTrade
The cocoa industry, supplying the world's hunger for chocolate,
is fraught with child labour problems and low commodity prices
that leave a bad taste in the mouth of consumers and exacerbate
poverty in developing countries. Fairtrade chocolate, made from
Fairtrade certified cocoa, offers a solution for small farmers
and their dependents to break the cycle of poverty. |
|
When we started making chocolate it soon dawned on us that organic
and fairtrade are inextricably linked. What’s better for the
planet has to be better for the people working on it. Fairtrade is
about creating more equal trading relationships. Under Fairtrade,
coffee farmers are paid a stable price that covers production
costs and guarantees a sustainable living. |
 |
 |
When the price of
Arabica on the open market fell below 70 US cents per pound in
2003, farmers selling to the Fairtrade market received a minimum
of 121 US cents per pound. In addition, coffee producers receive
a premium through the Fairtrade system for investment into local
community development projects, such as schools, water wells or
training. |
A unique process - a great
taste
Sweet William uses a unique process for producing its dairy free
chocolate. Australian soy flour, derived from the finest soybeans,
is blended with the best cocoa liquor to produce a smooth
European-style chocolate.

Unlike
plantation-grown cacao, our farmers grow their cocoa trees under
the shade of indigenous trees alongside other crops, including
avocado, pineapple, coffee, papaya and bananas. The canopy of
shade trees - mahogany, cedar and teak - are grown above the cacao
trees and ginger is occasionally grown underneath.
BIODIVERSITY
By having a variety of cocoa and shade trees as well as
interspersing this with other plants the biodiversity within the
organic cocoa farm is greatly increased. This is one of the major
elements, which can help fight off some of the many diseases like
black pod, that can decimate a cocoa crop. We don’t spray our
cocoa with pesticides, so the farmers working on it don’t suffer
from the health related problems that farmers growing the cocoa
conventionally may suffer from.
