Description

KARMA COLA It’s the real, ‘real thing’, a cola made with Fairtrade and organic ingredients including real cola nut from the rainforests of West Africa. Karma Cola Karma Cola's original recipe combines real cola nut from the Boma village in Sierra Leone with natural spices; cinnamon, nutmeg and coriander with lemon, lime and orange oils, vanilla bean grown by the Huiwani Fairtrade Cooperative in Papua New Guinea and organically grown and processed sugar cane from the Manduvira Fairtrade Organic Farmers in Paraguay. We use organic malt extract for flavor and colour instead of nasty burnt sugar or caramel and we don’t use artificial colouring, preservatives or phosphoric acid. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND Our cola is grown by farmers like Idrisa Bonah & Mustapha Sesay (pictured). Idrisa‘s house was destroyed in the 10-year war and he now lives with his family of 12 in his father’s home. We’re trying to help farmers like Idrisa improve their farms so they can rebuild their community. With Karma Cola what goes around really does come around. Every time you drink it, part of the proceeds from each bottle sold will go back to the Boma Village in Sierra Leone. This will help to build a fresh water well, processing centre and store for crops, and help to buy tools to rehabilitate the cola plantations to help the Mende people to grow and sell more cola nut.

About All Good

ABOUT ALL GOOD At All Good we think it’s a good idea to be able to eat and drink healthily with a healthy conscience. We’re 100% New Zealand owned and operated, and like the organic Fairtrade farmers we deal with, we’re a small business trying to make a difference. We reckon it’s really important to make informed choices about the food we eat, and that it’s wrong to ignore the human and environmental consequences of foods that are unfairly produced. In an enlightened world we should treat the people who grow our food as if they lived right next door. That’s why we try and offer REAL choices when it comes to quality, freshness, and fairness. Because we want you and your family to be All Good! Good for the Growers In Ecuador, most banana plantation workers earn as little as $3.00 a day. Can you imagine? It’s hardly enough to support their families. In Sierra Leone, cola nut farmers are still recovering from a ten year war and every day is hard work. In Sri Lanka, small ginger growers have to negotiate the challenges of opportunistic middlemen and multinational chemical interests. Fairtrade is all about helping to create a fairer way. Fairtrade gives farmers and workers the security of a fair and stable price for their produce, the freedom to invest their profits into their communities, and the independence to make decisions for their futures. Every All Good product is either Fairtrade, or as with our cola nut, sourced directly from farmers to ensure they get a fair deal and benefit from the proceeds of their efforts. We make sure it’s fair, so when you buy it, you can believe it! Good for the Land Fairtrade growers have to meet strong environmental standards. Fairtrade accreditation prohibits the use of a long list of dangerous agrochemicals, including the “Dirty Dozen” specified by the Pesticide Action Network.* Our banana growers in El Guabo use organic fertiliser to help keep their farms clean and sustainable, and we use minimal packaging and careful handling to get our bananas here in premium condition. The organic BioGro standard we have on our drinks ensures the highest organic standards have been met at every step in the food chain. In the case of our organic sugar, for example, it’s free from processing with sulphur or bleached like conventional sugar, keeping things both clean AND green. We reckon most Kiwis love their planet and think it’s worth looking after. We do too! *Fairtrade bans the use of over 120 chemicals commonly used in fruit production alone Good For You The choices you make when buying food and drink are more important now than ever before. Supermarkets and their suppliers respond to market demand - and your dollar is your voice. Here at All Good we work with Fairtrade and directly with organic growers to bring you ingredients and products you can really trust. We believe in supporting the environment AND our fellow humans. We want to eat good food, with a clear conscience. If you believe in that too, then you’ll be All Good!
