Our tea garden has met the criteria of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard. The Standard incorporates all three pillars of sustainability—social, economic, and environmental. Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms are audited regularly to verify that farmers are complying with the Standard’s comprehensive requirements. This requires continual improvement on the journey to sustainable agriculture.

The Rainforest Alliance Certified Standard is built on these important principles of sustainable farming:

• >> Biodiversity conservation
• >> Improved livelihoods and human well-being
• >> Natural resource conservation
• >> Effective planning and farm management systems
