In reply to jethro kiernan:
I've found this list of UK roasters to include some good suppliers and that includes a few doing Fair Trade.

However, FT doesn't always mean good or even average quality, same goes for organic, biodynamic, etc. The people who do Cafe Direct in the supermarket often have a decent bag, even the ground stuff, and I guess it is because they have the largest source from which to select and blend. In other words, single origin fairly traded and/or organic can be hit and miss. But you probably know that already. It just so happens that the most amazing beans I have ever had were biodynamic, single farm, from Hasbean, fairly traded I presume. I found Rave to be a better supplier, overall, but there are dozens of good companies these days.
After the Oxfam study (tea?) last year that showed how many (most?) farms certified 'Fair Trade' were actually paying seasonal labour (perhaps the majority of workers?) poor wages, I started caring less about the certificates and more about actual prices or direct trade with the growers, and of course quality. Hopefully, Oxfam have stirred things up in a positive way and things will change.
