SUSTAINABILITY & CHARITY

We are very aware of the ethical and environmental responsibilities we have as a global tea company and we are committed to ensuring that all the teas we source come from tea gardens that share our philosophies and implement them at the garden level.

COMMITTED TO PEOPLE

At Camellia’s Tea House, we believe that the well-being of the people behind our teas is just as important as the quality of the tea itself. We are dedicated to sourcing from gardens that uphold fair and ethical labor practices, ensuring that farmers and workers are treated with dignity and respect.

Through regular supplier audits every two years, we verify that working conditions meet or exceed local labor laws, providing fair wages and safe environments. Additionally, we prioritize sourcing Fair Trade-certified teas whenever possible, supporting small-scale producers and cooperatives to promote economic empowerment and sustainable livelihoods.

COMMITTED TO THE PLANET

Sustainability is at the heart of our tea sourcing and blending process. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact by working with tea gardens that implement sustainable farming practices. By sourcing from estates accredited by organizations such as the Rainforest Alliance, UTZ and Fairtrade, we help protect biodiversity, promote soil health, and reduce deforestation.

We also strive to continuously improve our environmental footprint, from responsible ingredient sourcing to exploring eco-friendly packaging solutions. Our goal is to ensure that every cup of Camellia’s tea supports a healthier planet for future generations.

OUR PACKAGING

At Camellia’s Tea House, we are passionate about sustainability, which is why we prioritize eco-friendly packaging or biodegradable solutions. A significant portion of our packaging is made from recyclable materials, helping to minimize waste and reduce our environmental footprint. We are continually exploring innovative and sustainable alternatives to ensure our packaging aligns with our commitment to the planet.

Beyond packaging, we also encourage our customers to adopt more sustainable purchasing habits. By ordering larger quantities of tea less frequently, customers can help reduce the number of deliveries made, thereby cutting down on carbon emissions associated with transportation. Small changes like these can collectively make a big impact, supporting a more sustainable future—one cup of tea at a time.

OUR TEA BAGS

At Camellia’s Tea House, we use natural, eco-friendly tea bags to ensure a sustainable and enjoyable tea experience. Unlike traditional tea bags that contain plastic, our biodegradable bags break down naturally, helping reduce waste and prevent microplastic pollution in the environment.

These natural tea bags also preserve the pure taste of our blends, as they do not release any harmful chemicals or synthetic fibers into your tea. This means you can enjoy a cleaner, healthier drinking experience with every cup.

By choosing eco-friendly tea bags, you're supporting both your well-being and the planet with every sip.
