Most teas—even Fair Trade—come from plantations where workers have little say, and are often trapped in a system of dependency. Together, we are building a different tea model, one that gives small farmers greater access to the market, affording them more economic power, better lives and healthier communities.

This blend includes tea grown by the small-scale farmers of the Potong Tea Garden in Darjeeling, India. Once a colonial plantation, the Potong Garden is now collectively run by its workers and is paving a stronger, more democratic path forward for the community. The ginger in this blend is grown by MITSINJO, a small-farmer cooperative in Madagascar.

This tea offers the best of both worlds combining the floral, toasted rice, and oceanic flavor notes of green tea with a warming ginger kick.
