Tea, Coffee and Cocoa
We work closely with certification bodies
ALDI's strong partnerships and alliances help us to develop and implement sourcing standards across our supply chain to ensure our cocoa, coffee and tea is sustainable. We do this by working closely with third-party certification schemes including Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, Cocoa Horizons, 4C, and organic certification schemes. These certification schemes work to improve the livelihoods and working conditions for producers and their families, as well as to develop more environmentally sustainable and efficient farming practices.
Supporting Fairtrade
ALDI is a proud supporter of Fairtrade, raising awareness around the importance of shopping responsibly to protect the rights of producers and workers. We offer a range of Fairtrade coffee, tea and chocolate in all stores nationwide. Discover some of the range today.
The Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance is an international, non-profit organisation that brings together producers, business and consumers to establish better business practices for people and nature. When you see the Rainforest Alliance certification seal on our packaging, you know that the product contributes to better farming practices and protects the human rights of producers by improving their livelihoods.

How you can support Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance
Supporting Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance is simpler than you think. Here are our favourite ways that you can provide better opportunities for producers.
1. Award winning selections
Customers can enjoy great-tasting products while knowing that they’re supporting the environment and producer communities at the same time. ALDI’s Fairtrade products include the award-winning Expressi and Lazzio coffee range, and selected Diplomat tea varieties. We also offer a fantastic selection of Fairtrade chocolates, including our flagship Moser Roth. Our Choceur and Dairy Fine brands of chocolate are also Rainforest Alliance certified.

2. Encourage your workplace to stock certified tea, coffee and cocoa
Everyone loves a tea break. Make it even more meaningful by asking your workplace to stock your favourite ALDI products with the Fairtrade or Rainforest Alliance label. Besides tea and coffee, look for the Fairtrade label on your favourite ALDI chocolate.
3. Fairtrade gifts for Christmas or birthdays
An easy way to introduce Fairtrade products to your loved ones is to gift them some. You can’t go wrong with chocolates such as Moser Roth 85% Dark, Sea Salt and Orange or Almond and Dark Hazelnut. Check out our chocolate range here.
4. Educate the next generation
Fairtrade has a range of educational brochures suitable for children of all ages. Why not turn it into a show and tell in the classroom or even at home? Make it an interactive one so that the children are engaged. Rainforest Alliance also has a range of educational resources available here.
