A PROUD MEMBER OF THE ETHICAL TEA PARTNERSHIP
A NOT FOR PROFIT MEMBERSHIP ORGANISATION DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF TEA PRODUCTION

GROWING TEA WITH CARE


One of our guiding principles is to work closely with tea estates to grow, process, and create unique teas. An integral part of this process is looking after the people, land, and environment which provide us with our teas. In becoming a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), we felt that we could help shape and influence the tea industry on a far larger scale, working with an organisation that shares our core philosophy, works at the estate level, and whose vision is to create a thriving tea industry that is socially just and environmentally sustainable.

SUSTAINABILITY

The ETP help producers and workers protect wildlife and the environment, and prepare for the effects of climate change.

• Training on soil and water management and conservation
• Implementing programmes to minimise the effects that climate change could have on tea production

ESTATE SPOTLIGHT: LUMBINI


The Lumbini estate in Sri Lanka is an example of the work being done to promote worker welfare. Two programs which resonate with us are the educational scholarship program to send children of tea estate workers on to higher education, and the annual staff outing, where every employee from the estate goes on holiday together for three to four days, funded by the estate. The programs are effective in creating a framework of merit and value, and the positive feeling is reflected throughout the garden. The level of care and focus is clearly evident in each cup of our Rainforest Lumbini, which has been a benchmark for quality and consistency since we first created it together in 2010.

A giant collection coin made out of indulgent Belgian milk chocolate. Our NEW Easter treat will surely make your Easter Holidays happier and sweeter! 
First issued in 1663, in the reign of King Charles II, the Guinea travelled the world on The East India Company ships, becoming the very foundation of international trade and establishing a reputation of trust, quality, and reliability.
Peel back the Guinea colourful foil casing to reveal its beautiful patterns. The heraldic standing lion symbolises bravery, valour and strength; the shield traditionally found on many historic Guineas, crossed sceptres for the four points of the compass, and a laurel wreath of tea and cotton are commodities for which the guinea was traded.
The reverse features The East India Company heart shaped logo.
Head to our website to find out more.
