Bulk-buying Fairtrade tea/coffee?

Anyone know of any websites selling Fairtrade goods in bulk?
The supermarkets around us only seem to sell 100g jars of Fairtrade coffee and no more than 160 teabag boxes of tea.
As this stuff has a fairly long shelf-life, we'd like to buy in bulk to get some kind of discount (it also uses less packaging) - can't seem to find anywhere online - any recommendations?

I bulk buy from suma - www.suma.co.uk I think? - They do all sorts of teas and coffees and other goods such as dried fruit, nuts, pulses etc. You can't order online though but they are very helpful. They do have a minimum order value for free delivery which varies depending on where you live.

Or try your local Oxfam shop- ours sells the large tins of coffee -not sure how much they weight but cost about £12 last time I bought one. I think I've seen large bags of teabags there too.0
