October is Fairtrade Month, a time to celebrate the farmers, workers, and communities at the heart of the products we enjoy. Choosing Fairtrade means choosing fairness, sustainability, and dignity in global trade.

What Fairtrade Means

The Fairtrade Certified™ label guarantees:

  • Fair pay & premiums that support schools, healthcare, and community projects

This Year’s Theme: We Are Fairtrade

The 2025 theme, “We Are Fairtrade,” highlights that impact is collective. From farmers to brands to shoppers, every choice strengthens a fairer global economy and helps make ethical sourcing the norm.

Why It Matters to Us

    I’ve been strictly an ice coffee drinker for the last 20+ years, and with the rising prices over the years, I started experimenting with bottled cold brews and they were just ok. I ordered Black and bold Smooth Operator, this is a dark roast, and the name is on point! It’s so delicious. I used the cold brew method, not a trace of bitterness, even before creamer , it has a sweet rich flavor, I’m so glad I subscribed with my first order, and have already received my 2nd, shipment. I’m going in to increase my subscription, I never want to be without my Smooth Operator! Thanks so much Black and Bold for delivering a great product!
