Celebrate Organic September With Us 🌱
We believe in organic agriculture – it’s better for the environment, for the producers who avoid the risk of exposure to chemicals, and for our teas which often taste even better. Organic tea production embodies the power of man and nature working in harmony. This is why deciding to prioritise organic was a no brainer for us.
It’s complicated though; every country has different standards and for our single garden smallholder producers, EU certification is an expensive and time intensive process. If we only buy from larger producers that invest in international organic certification, we restrict the opportunities for amazing tea discoveries and to support smallholder farmers.
So right now, we’re on a journey. Sourcing teas with international organic certification will always be our ideal, but where this is not possible, we’ll be prioritising those that are grown using organic farming principles – which will be confirmed by our producers and supported by our own testing. Simultaneously we are encouraging and supporting all of our producers to make the transition to organic, which can take up to 5 years.
In the meantime we will be completely transparent about how each of our teas are produced, and will continue to share with you the inspiring stories from origin where organic gardens are seeing thriving production and delicate eco systems spring back to life.
