GavaTea and Rainforest Alliance
Rainforest Alliance certification helps conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior with the goal of creating a world where people and the environment prosper together. The Rainforest Alliance helps farmers realize greater economic benefits by ensuring ecosystems within and around their operations are protected, and that their workers are well trained and enjoy safe conditions, proper sanitation, health care and housing.
The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ estates we work with use sustainable agricultural methods that protect the health of farmers, their livelihoods, their land and the surrounding waterways.
We chose Rainforest Alliance Certified tea because this program fits perfectly with our view of sustainability, sound stewardship of the air, water and soil; improving quality of life for farming communities and ensuring increased profits for farmers.
we thrive together
At GavaTea we want to contribute to a better world for people and nature. That’s why we buy tea from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms.
