Tea took another industry-changing leap towards sustainability today as the Rainforest Alliance announced that Tetley, the world's second largest tea company, has committed to sourcing all of its tea for its Tetley brand worldwide from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms.
Currently, 75 million cups of Tetley tea are consumed globally each day. The company's commitment to buying from Rainforest Alliance Certified tea farms will benefit both the environment and the lives of the tea farmers and workers on a large scale.
All Tetley branded tea bags and loose tea for black, green and red (Rooibos) tea, including flavored and decaffeinated varieties, will be part of the certification program, which is scheduled for completion by 2016.
