When You Love Great Tea and the Planet

100% of Our Tea Offerings Are Rainforest Alliance Certified™

People are looking for brands they can feel good about.

92% of global consumers would buy a product with social and/or environmental benefit if given the opportunity, and 67 percent have actually done so within the previous 12 months.*

To achieve Rainforest Alliance certification, a wide range of criteria need to be met across environmental, economic, and social factors, including:

• Water conservation
• Wildlife protection
• Soil management
• Fair treatment and good conditions for workers
