Sustainabili-tea

We strive to do the best we can for our people and the environment at every stage of business. Our tea comes from a single plantation in Assam, India. We’ve visited and monitored their sustainability from growing the tea to manufacturing it and the way the planet and workers are treated along that journey. Our plantation is “TrusTea” certified. This means the plantation has been independently vetted and given positive scores on working conditions, pollution, food safety, gender differences, and the effects on climate change.

Spices

We work hard to source the best spices sustainably. Our spices comes from single origin plantations where minimal to no pesticides are used in the growing and manufacturing process. We also are committed to paying well above the average price for our spices to give back to the farming communities. Single origin spices also taste better so it’s sort of a win win.

Packaging

All our packaging can either be returned to the earth or reused. Our Chai tins are stainless steel and can be used again for a spice refill, or even as a flower pot! Our refill pouches, available on our website, can be disposed of without creating waste, allowing you to refill your reusable tin seamlessly.

People

Our staff are everything to us. That’s cheesy to say, and maybe even cheesier to acknowledge the cheesiness, but it’s true. We pay much higher than minimum wage, give generous performance bonuses and treat everyone with respect. We are also an equal opportunity employer so no matter background or experience level, we give people a shot. We also work with a mental health charity to build confidence in people who are going through tough times.
