We’re proud to shine a light on our farmers. Without their work, we couldn’t share Earth’s bounty of teas and botanicals, yet they are often taken for granted. Through the practices and interventions detailed in this section, we hope to raise them up, improve their lives, support their livelihoods, and make sure the goodness in each cup of tea starts at the source.

HELPING FARMERS BECOME CLIMATE RESILIENT
ENSURING PEOPLE HAVE ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITIES
Empowering and enriching the thousands of farmers who work within our vast and complex supply chain is an important part of our philosophy. We want to ensure these farming communities are thriving and farmers are being fairly rewarded for their hard work nurturing the finest organic products. We aim to pay fair and sustainable prices that allow farms to cover at least the cost of production plus a profitable margin, which enables the communities to re-invest and grow. We also look to support sustainability programs that enhance farmers’ livelihoods. - Ian Brabbin
