Global Village Nanaimo Fair Trade Store would like to welcome you to our "Taste Testing at Time". Here is what we will be sampling-

"Fertile Ground's" Assam Tea from India, they provided encouragement, training and resources to farmers, small-scale tea growers, teachers, students and families living in the state of Assam. The tea brewed on its own is comfort in a cup. Also to make tradtional Chai Tea either with the loose leaf or tea bags is perfect!

Camino Hot Chocolate is an Ottawa based compnay who's mission is to trade fairly and directly with small-scale producers in developing countries, offering ethical choices. Their Chili Hot Chocolate is decadent! 

Zatoun's Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil can, unlike the lesser olive oils, be enjoyed straight from the bottle. Accompied with a long staple of Palestinian cooking we will also be sampling Za'atar. This seasoning is made with wild thyme and sumac picked in the hills of Palestine mixed with roasted sesame seeds and salt, smells amazing and has a unqiue taste. The uses are endless and we have great receipes to share too!

Also we will have "Amazing Shea Butter" from Nanaimo. The "butter" is made from the nuts of karite nut tree, certified organic the shea butter comes from Togo in West Africa. Purchasing only from the African Fair Trade Council "Amazing She Butter" supports the Council's mission to empower communities through advancement of fair trade, education, gender equality, and sustainable living.
