Sustainability

We work with farmers and producers to grow teas that are sustainable and non-destructive to their environments. While our teas are not certified organic, we have chosen producers who limit their chemical usage, prefer natural fertilizers, and are non-polluting.

We are committed to developing a fully sustainable supply chain, including our materials our tea comes in. Our goal is to use 100% recycled and recyclable/compostable materials and to source as close to the USA as possible (to reduce energy used in transport). Here is what you should know about our packaging:
