This sparkling and refreshing Iced Mate tea from ChariTea is both Fairtrade and organic and is flavoured with lemon and orange. It’s got plenty of natural caffeine, and comes with a heady dose of Argentinian passion. That’s where it’s organically grown and fairly traded. Cheers, mate.

Ingredients: Carbonated infusion of organic mate tea and organic black tea (water, mate tea, black tea) (88%), organic agave syrup, organic orange juice (3%), organic lemon juice (3%)

Why was ChariTea founded ? It’s pretty simple: the founders want to play their part in making a fairer world, through a Fairtrade product that also supports social projects in the growing regions of their ingredients.

Made from quality organic & fair-trade ingredients the tea comes from cooperatives & plantations around the world. Charitea go beyond Fairtrade: every bottle sold gives an additional 5 cents to the Lemonaid and ChariTea Foundation. By doing this, they’ve already collected more than 6 million euros for social projects in the growing regions.

The Lemonaid & ChariTea Foundation is a non-profit organisation based in Hamburg – which aims to contribute to the sustainable improvement of social, economic and ecological structures in the Global South. The foundation focuses on supporting entrepreneurial and income-generating initiatives to promote economic independence. The organisation is funded primarly from the sale of Lemonaid & ChariTea drinks, but donations and active participation are always welcome.
