* tagging yourself and your friends on Facebook
* uploading your own photos or videos onto our Tea Party page for a chance to win a gourmet cupcake-making class
* send your friends a tea-greeting and get 50p off Cafédirect tea
* make the office tea-round fairer by persuading your workplace to go Cafédirect
* Swap your clothes for a pack of our delicious Everyday Tea at Oxfam shops
* and enter this week’s Friday Fun….
Here is a photo of Cafédirect Tea Lady Chrissie preparing for her Tea Party. We’d like to call this photo ‘One lump or two’ but realise that that’s a bit of a lame effort. So if you can come up with a better caption you could win some Fairtrade goodies!
The rules are simple:
Think of a creative caption for this photo and post it to the comment box of this blog post.
You have until 5.30pm today to post your caption.
The winning caption will be chosen and announced on Monday on our blog. (Prizes can only be sent to a UK or Ireland postal address.)
The chosen caption will win some Cafédirect goodies, a Bodum cafétiere, two Cafédirect mugs and some gorgeous Divine chocolate with raspberries!

Love, Tea Lady Chrissie (TLC) xx
Fair Maid. Fair Made.
When Chrissy swapped her clothes at Oxfam for a pack of delicious Everyday Tea, she have to go naked either as it came with a free tealady outfit!
Tea lady Chrissie making a pout of tea
Chrissie had mastered the art of of a perfectly raised pinky, she was still working on the pout!
When I swapped my clothes at Oxfam for a pack of delicious Everyday Tea, it came with Chrissy to make it!
yes, my buns are natural too you cheeky monkey!
the direct tea maid made tea directly
Can I get you anything? Tea, coffee, me?
Despite working at Cafédirect for years, Chrissie still got ‘fairtrade’ and ‘fair game’ mixed up!
[Assumes Dodgy French accent] “Listen very carefully I shall make zis only once!”
As Marx once nearly said, is this proper tea or theft?
And here at Westminster Chrissie demonstrates, yet again, how tea leaves get into hot water
She misinterpreted her bosses request when he said ‘Bend your buns over the table sweetcakes and let’s be naughtea’
Chrissie, we said a fairtrade tea party not fancy dress party!!!
caught in the act of tea leafing
‘Chrissie, the boss said Fairtrade tea, not French maid tea’
Cafédirect Tea Lady Chrissie didnt think it was fair to do that in front of her she wasnt after doing that sort of trade!
Despite using Fairtrade tea Chrissie was feeling rather naughtea (perhaps because she was wearing her French panteas)…
Pouting maid and raised pinky or not, this Earl Grey is not your usual posh bag, it’s the Fairest brew of them all.
Sure didn’t the lord himself stop on the cross for a cup of tea father?
Ah go on go on go on go on, GO ON!
Making the gateaux was a piece of cake
Chrissie had enjoyed the hypnotist’s show, but wondered why there was a smelly sock in the teabag box?
Just one bag ‘cos Chrissie’s feeling the pinch, the Vicar’s on his knees again.
Chrissie misunderstanding the fairtrade BigSwap ,attempts to swap a teabag for a whole load of cake.
Howay Fatty, you know you want to.
You don’t just raise your pinky to drink your tea, you raise it to make it too!
You mean you DON’T make lemon tea by sucking a lemon, then the teabag?!
Caption for pic…….mmmm can I be fair,of coarse it’s #fairtrade it’s the way forward.
#fairtrade is the best way.great comp x
Chrissie knew the saying “a moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips” It was a fairtrade today!
In the Cafe Direct musical statue contest Chrissie opts for the “I’m a little teapot”
ARGH caught!!! How am I going to steal the cakes now??
tea for two or may be three or try a cake they are a scrumptious as me
More tea Vicar
Love Fair Trade thanks to Chris Martin and Coldplay
Do you think I can hide the cakes behind this teabag?
A pinch of fairtrade tea saves the world
Chrissie the tea lady was such a TEAse and got slightly unnerved when the boys admired her buns!
Cake, Tea or Me?
