Sustainability

Tea is an agricultural product grown by people, on land, over generations. Treating it well means treating both properly.

Pickers working contoured tea terraces at first light, with forested ridges and mist behind — Shade, forest and contour planting — gardens managed to still be here in fifty years

Long relationships, fair sourcing

We work with a small number of growers and specialty importers we return to season after season, rather than buying on price alone. Continuity is good for quality and good for the people doing the growing — it lets gardens plan, invest and improve.

Buying only what's good

Sampling before we commit, and blending in small batches, means less waste — we don't over-order leaf that ages out before it sells.

Packaging

Tea needs to be protected from light and air to stay fresh, so packaging has a real job to do here — but we're committed to reducing its footprint over time and moving toward recyclable and refillable formats.
