Young tea leaf buds are picked in early spring before leaves unfurl. The buds are withered then gently dried. White tea is the least processed tea.

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE

All of Numi’s teas and teasans are USDA Certified Organic, Kosher and Halal.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Numi began purchasing Fair Trade Certified™ teas in April 2005, and is now a top purchaser of Fair Trade Certified™ tea to the U.S. In February of 2013, Numi launched its new Fair Labor Practices (FLP) program, a proprietary verification focused on continuous improvement of labor and workplace conditions throughout Numi’s entire foreign supply chain. Nine Numi products thrive under this program, including all of our Pu•erh teas.

SUSTAINABILITY

Almost all of Numi’s packaging materials are biodegradable and/or recyclable, and our retail products are cello-wrap free. More than 95% of Numi’s packaging materials incorporate the use of post-consumer waste or renewable bamboo. Utilizing 100% post-consumer waste paper has reduced Numi’s landfill usage by more than 82,000 pounds annually.

NON-GMO

All of Numi’s teas are Non-GMO Project Verified. In addition to its teas, Numi was also the first company to have its tea bags verified by the Non-GMO Project. Numi strongly believes that since tea bags are submerged in hot water along with tea before consumption, it is important that tea and tea bags are non-GMO verified as well. ECO -responsibility AUDIT

Through thoughtful choices, Numi annually conserves:

9,037 trees

581,216 Lbs. of landfill

4,787 mil (000) BTU ENERGY

4,052,564 gallons water

817,335 net greenhouse emissions

BOILING DOWN THE WATER CRISIS One in every nine people on the planet (nearly 800 million) does not have access to clean, safe drinking water.

More people die from lack of water and sanitation each year than are killed by all forms of violence, including war.

We started Numi Organic Tea because we believe everyone deserves a good cup of quality tea. But, what is tea without water? While we are fortunate to have access to clean, safe drinking water, nearly 1 billion people live without this basic human right. It all boils down to us. Numi Organic Tea has pledged 1% of our profits to this important cause. Join us in helping build long term sustainable water solutions around the world for people in need.

4,000 children die every day from water related diseases.

Despite the dangers, women and children usually bear the responsibility of collecting water for the family. Many are required to walk up to three hours a day to collect and carry it.

Without access to latrines or water for washing, many girls drop out of school when they hit puberty.
