  Our ambition is to redefine what good teas means.A change of the tea industry by buying teas directly from farms and re-introducing tea as a value product to consumers. Tea has to be good in three ways1) Economic sustainability = direct trade & paying for the value of tea2) Environmental sustainability = organic farming principles - who really wants chemicals in their tea?3) Social sustainability = We return a percentage of our revenue (not profit that can be fudged) to Rare Charity supporting educational scholarships on our partner farms.Demand will always drive supply and together we can change a whole industry. 🍃
