Choose Clipper Organic and Fairtrade Lemon & Ginger if an infusion explicitly sold as Fairtrade is the priority and lemon and ginger suit your breakfast. If you prefer a berry-led blend, Pukka says its teas are certified under the separate Fair for Life scheme; check the individual pack rather than treating that claim as a FAIRTRADE Mark. Offer a separately checked Fairtrade black or green tea if guests also want conventional tea.
If the certification claim matters more than a particular fruit flavour, start with the exact product. Clipper sells its Organic and Fairtrade Lemon & Ginger infusion under that name. Fairtrade International advises checking the back of packs bearing an arrow beside the FAIRTRADE Mark for ingredient and sourcing details.
For a berry-led drink, Pukka lists fruit blends and says all its teas are Fair for Life-certified. That scheme is distinct from the FAIRTRADE Mark. Twinings describes fruit infusions as caffeine-free, but check an individual blend if its name also mentions black or green tea.
A fruit infusion can sit alongside a conventional black or green tea for guests who want one. Check the certification on each pack separately: a claim on one blend does not establish the status of another product from the same range.
Choose the certification route and flavour first, then check the ingredients of the exact blend you plan to serve.
Choose when: An infusion sold with an explicit Fairtrade claim matters more than a berry flavour; Clipper offers Organic and Fairtrade Lemon & Ginger.
Bear in mind: It is lemon and ginger rather than a berry blend, and Clipper’s liquorice warning needs attention.
Choose when: You want a fruit-led Pukka blend and accept the Fair for Life certification that Pukka states applies to its teas.
Bear in mind: Fair for Life is not the FAIRTRADE Mark; read the claim on the particular pack.
Choose when: Guests want both a fruit infusion and conventional black or green tea.
Bear in mind: Check any Fairtrade claim on the breakfast tea separately; the fruit infusion’s label does not establish it.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Certification | Read the claim on the exact pack. Fairtrade International says an arrow beside the FAIRTRADE Mark directs shoppers to back-of-pack sourcing details; Pukka identifies Fair for Life as its certification route. | I want to know which certification applies to the drink I am serving, rather than relying on an organic or general ethical-sourcing description. |
| Tea type | Check whether it is a fruit infusion or contains black or green tea leaves. Twinings describes fruit infusions without tea leaves as caffeine-free. | Some guests want a fruit infusion, while others expect conventional tea with breakfast. |
| Flavour | Compare the named blend and its ingredients: Clipper offers lemon and ginger, while Pukka lists berry-led fruit teas. Follow the chosen pack’s preparation directions. | Would citrus and ginger suit what I am serving, or would my guests prefer a berry blend? |
| Ingredients | Read the ingredients and warning panel for each product. Clipper warns that people with hypertension should avoid excessive consumption of its liquorice-containing Lemon & Ginger infusion. | Before serving guests, I want to spot ingredients or warnings relevant to them. |
An organic description does not tell you whether a fruit blend carries a Fairtrade claim. Fair for Life is also a separate certification scheme.
Check the exact pack’s logo and wording. Fairtrade International says to read the back-of-pack sourcing information when the FAIRTRADE Mark has an arrow.
Twinings describes fruit infusions as caffeine-free drinks without tea leaves. They may not meet the preference of a guest asking for conventional black or green tea.
Serve a separate black or green tea if needed, and check that product’s Fairtrade claim independently.
Clipper’s Organic and Fairtrade Lemon & Ginger contains liquorice. Clipper warns that people with hypertension should avoid excessive consumption.
Read the product’s ingredients and warning panel before serving it to someone for whom that warning is relevant.
A fruit blend’s certification cannot be established from a different tea’s label or from its place in a broader collection.
Match the certification claim to the precise blend and pack size you intend to buy.
These brand statements help distinguish certification and tea types; they do not establish the label carried by every blend.

A berry-named infusion to consider when fruit flavour suits the breakfast table. Pukka says its teas are Fair for Life-certified; check the claim on this pack rather than treating that as a FAIRTRADE Mark claim.
Look for the FAIRTRADE Mark and the claim on the specific pack. Fairtrade International says an arrow beside the mark directs you to back-of-pack details about ingredients and sourcing; an organic description alone does not establish a Fairtrade claim.
Twinings describes fruit infusions without tea leaves as caffeine-free. Check the individual ingredients if a blend’s name also mentions black tea, green tea or another tea-leaf base.
No. Pukka says its teas are Fair for Life-certified, which is a separate scheme. If you specifically want the FAIRTRADE Mark, check for that mark on the particular product rather than treating the two labels as interchangeable.
Read the exact pack’s ingredients and warnings for your guests. The Food Standards Agency says the 14 regulated allergens must be emphasised in the ingredients list of pre-packed food or drink; Clipper also warns that people with hypertension should avoid excessive consumption of its liquorice-containing Organic and Fairtrade Lemon & Ginger infusion.
