Sourcing Information and Product Transparency
My goal is to source quality ingredients from ethical and sustainable sources. Below you will find information on my suppliers and the origins of my ingredients.
My Suppliers:
SerendipiTea: SerendipiTea is an artisanal Specialty tea company based out of Manahasset, New York. They import premium tea and botanicals directly from the growers.
Banaspaty Estate: Assam, India
Located in the Assam state of India, the Banaspaty Estate is known for producing high-quality, orthodox teas. The hot, humid climate and heavy rainfall of this region create the perfect environment for tea growth, and contribute to the tea's unique flavor. The Banaspaty Estate is Certified USDA Organic, Certified Kosher, Certified Fair-trade, and Certified Elephant-Friendly. This estate is also a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership.
I use Assam black tea from this estate in my Amber Breakfast, Irish Breakfast, Spiced Rose, and Black Cannella tea blends.
Blackwood Estate: Dimbula, Sri Lanka
Blackwood Tea Estate is located in the Bogawantalwa Valley in the Dimbula region of Western Sri Lanka. This tea estate is located at an elevation of up to 4,500 ft. above sea level, in a section of the Idulgashinna Organic Tea Gardens. The Idulgashinna Tea Garden is certified organic and fair trade.
The Ceylon black tea that I use in my Spiced Sage tea comes from this tea estate.
