About

Kenya is the largest exporter of black tea in the world. Lipton is one of their largest buyers. More than half of that tea – 60% – is grown by small farmers on one to three acres of land. Much of this tea can be called “fair trade”… But how fair is it? The Mouths that Eat from Tea is exploring the lives of small tea farmers in Kenya, and how those lives are defined and limited by the people who buy and sell the tea they grow.
