Argo Tea Update
I heard back from Argo Tea about whether they serve organic and/or fair trade teas. Here is the response:
Thank you for your message. Currently we offer two organic teas: Red Tea (Rooibos) and Gunpowder. Although at this time our teas are not fair trade, we support fair trade principles and are looking into ways to introduce fair trade, as well as a greater offering of organic teas in the future. Your interest in Argo Tea is much appreciated, so please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or comments.
Given that they are still somewhat new and trying to grow in Chicago, I’m not going to write them off just yet. I will, however, be keeping a close eye on whether they follow through with introducing more organic and fair trade teas into their selection.
