About us

EMPLOYMENT FOR REFUGEES — we believe that everyone in the UK, regardless of whether they are refugees or economic migrants, should get the same chance as all citizens for a decent quality of life and the opportunity to contribute to society and its development.

ORGANIC LIVING — organic is a system of farming and food production that aims to produce sufficient quantities of high-quality food. As an Organic-certified tea supplier, we ensure that the tea you buy has been made in a way that is better for people, animals and wildlife, and respects the natural environment.

RAINFOREST ALLIANCE — our teas are sourced from farms committed to environmental and social sustainability. These farms adhere to rigorous standards that protect ecosystems, reduce pesticide use, ensure safe working conditions and fair wages for workers, and support thriving local communities.

BIODEGRADABLE TEA BAGS — our pyramid tea bags are fully biodegradable, as they are made of a Polylactic Acid (PLA) mesh filter derived from 100% non-GMO sugarcane. The bags are joined at the seams ultrasonically, without the use of heat. Even the string and labels are both attached using ultrasound rather than glue!

PLASTIC-FREE PACKAGING — both our teabags and loose-leaf tea are packed in a material called NatureFlex™. It uses films that are based strongly on renewable resources. NatureFlex™ films are based on cellulose. Cellulose is one of the most naturally abundant organic materials and comes from renewable wood pulp, typically sourced from hardwood species such as eucalyptus. Proven to be suitable for home composting, they are also marine degradable.
