A sip in the right direction.

direction.
Tea is earth-given and human-harvested, by nature we’re advocates of both. As a brewing force for good, our recipe for the future is detailed, goal oriented and third party certified. Transparency is the most important ingredient.
B Corp Certified
since 2020
Our B Corp status: ‘in a relationship’
We’ve always prioritised our relationship with people and planet but in 2020 we decided to make it official. Our B Corp certification defines what it means to be a ‘good business’ and mandates high standards of social and environmental performance. Officially recertified in 2023, we’ve maintained our sustainability standards whilst making significant improvements along the way.
Tea that’s sustainably sourced
Sips that come from a good place.
From fruits to spices, tea leaves to herb bushes, 100% of our tea is sustainably sourced. This means it has one or several third party accreditations that confirm its sustainable origins.

Most of our packaging is recyclable, reusable or compostable and is marked with logos to support correct disposal.
RECYCLABLE: Tea boxes,gift wrapping, shopping bags, tissue paper
GENERAL WASTE: Stickers, black Foils
COMPOSTABLE: Inner liner of tea cubes, teabag (including string and label)
Teawares that tick boxes

We took out our measuring sticks and reviewed 2018 carbon emissions, marking them as our baseline year with benchmarks for improvement.
Our footprint was reduced by 8.5% in our first year of action.
Tracking the effect of Covid-19 and initial initiatives we saw a 45% reduction in carbon emissions in 2020.
Sustainable stores
Better by design.
Better by design.
Our first Green Star store at Bondi Junction, opened in 2020, has set a precedence for our design approach moving forward. We continue to pull from recycled timbers and sustainably certified materials while also branching out, discovering innovative suppliers and local manufacturers.
For Australian stores, our countertops for example have been finished in a product called Betta Stone, it’s made in Melbourne and consists of 80% recycled glass. In our ongoing commitment to positive social impact through store design, we've partnered with local Indigenous artists in each store's region to create unique lighting features, supported by Koskela, a B Corp certified organisation sharing our sustainability values. These collaborations not only highlight the artists' talents and cultures but also share the First Nation's spirit with our customers. We've introduced these special light fittings in seven stores since 2022 and will continue to include them in all new store designs and refits.
