ABOUT CITIZENTEA
QUALITY. SIMPLICITY. CONNECTION.
Direct Trade
Since our tea buyers work directly with the tea farmers, this allows us to ensure that both the tea farmers and the tea are being treated with fairness and respect – the two things most important to us.
Highest Standard
All of our teas adhere to the European Union Food and Pesticide standards – some of which are the strictest food standards in the world. We can ensure these standards are met because of our close relationship and frequent visits with the tea gardens.
Best Value
Purchasing tea directly from the gardens instead of from tea auctions allows us to have a lower cost for superior tea. We then pass these savings onto you by offering premium tea at a great price.
We stand for quality
Bringing you the best tea is our ultimate goal.
When it comes to quality our philosophy is simple: we extend beyond the world of fair trade and instead build relationships directly with our tea farmers, and practice what is known as direct trade.
We’re sticklers for simplicity
Because simple is beautiful.
Our partner is a family-owned tea import business that has been involved in the trade since 1841. Over the last 175 years, our tea buyers have honed a reputation for some of the highest standards of tea quality in the world. Not only do we visit these gardens to ensure quality control, but also to maintain our long-term personal relationships with the Tea Garden Owners, who we much prefer to call our partners.
we believe in connection
People are at the heart of how we operate, build relationships with our tea farmers, and work to foster a sense of community we can all take part in.
Working directly with our partners allows us to ensure that both the tea farmers and the tea are being treated with fairness and respect – the two things most important to us in this industry.
