SUSTAINABILITEA

original bird & blend tea business plan

From Day 1, our Co Founders Krisi & Mike had sustainability high up on their priority list - this hasn't changed since then.

We’re proud that we have always tried to keep people & planet at the forefront of our decision making as we’ve grown over the years. In fact, in 2022 we announced our certification as a B Corp! An exciting step in transparency & also showing that we are committed to using our business as a force for good.

We acknowledge that we aren’t perfect & that sustainability isn’t easy, it’s an ever evolving process and that’s why every year we publish our improvement goals for our community.

We want to share with you some of the actions we’re taking to make B&B more sustainable this year.

    our partnership

    These are our blends where we have a partnership with an individual garden where some of the tea comes from, so that we can do good things in their local community.

Supporting Tea Communities at the Roots

Through our impact programme, we will aim to benefit the people & communities on the ground as much as possible, both at the tea gardens we source from & more broadly. 

We believe that building relationships locally, seeking to understand the real challenges from those experiencing them & supporting structural gaps including governance, is the way to have the most impact.

Decent work & Economic Growth

We passionately believe business growth is good because it means we can employ more people. Creating jobs that people think are worthwhile, that help them get out of bed in the morning. We aren’t perfect but we are doing everything in our power to create an inclusive and empowering place to work.
