Our impact
We supply tea that meets high quality standards, with respect for people and the environment throughout the supply chain.
A safe and healthy cup of tea
Tea and herbal infusions, being 100% plant-based, naturally fit into healthy diets. Making sure that their health benefits are not compromised by food safety risks in the supply chain is one of the most important aspects of our service. We maintain product quality through professional tea tasting in our own sample rooms and by extensive testing in independent laboratories.
Value from crop to cup
We source responsibly by conducting due diligence across our supply chains. We make sure that the tea and botanicals we supply can be traced back to their origins, and we are certified against several recognized sustainability standards, allowing us to meet a wide range of customer requirements. This makes us a reliable and transparent partner, both upstream and downstream in the supply chain.
Reducing the environmental footprint
We recognize the importance of understanding our environmental impact by assessing our carbon footprint. Both within our own operations and across the broader supply chain, from tea production, to transportation, blending, packaging and brewing. By increasing awareness and transparency, we can engage in meaningful conversations about sustainability challenges and opportunities.
