Choice Organic Teas LogoCertified Organic & Fair Trade: black, green & herbal infusion teas.

Choice Organic Teas is the first tea crafter in the United States to Fair Trade certify many of its teas.

Fair Trade certification translates into guaranteed fair wages while providing an additional premium paid directly to tea estate workers; steps that provide access to better housing, healthcare and education for tea growing communities.  Fair Trade certification adds another degree of integrity and social responsibility to our already certified organic teas.  An ingredient that is often difficult to measure, we think it makes all the difference in the world.
