Does Tetley do ethical teas?
At Tetley, we have been committed to the sourcing of teas through our membership of the international organisation called the Ethical Tea Partnership
www.ethicalteapartnership.org. Tetley have been a member of the ETP since 1997. The ETP has the objective of ensuring appropriate living and working conditions for those working on tea estates.

Tetley and the Rainforest Alliance
Tetley recently announced its decision to obtain Rainforest Alliance certification for the Tetley brand globally.
Tetley has committed to purchasing all of the tea for its branded teabag and loose tea products from Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM farms. All Tetley branded black, green and red (Rooibos) tea, including flavoured and decaffeinated varieties, will be part of the certification programme, which is scheduled for completion by 2016.
Given its presence in 70 countries around the world, Tetley’s commitment to Rainforest Alliance certification is a significant move for the global tea industry that will have a wide-reaching and positive impact across the brand’s global supply chains. The collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance will empower and support growers to proactively address and manage the social and environmental challenges they face. Tea producers in all the major tea-growing regions will benefit.
Tetley remain active members of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), whose existing programme and collaboration with the Rainforest Alliance will help facilitate the launch of Tetley certified products.
