Supporting and Encouraging Wider Supply Chain Transparency
Typhoo has published the origins of its tea with a list of over 250 tea gardens where it sources its tea from. The detailed list of its global suppliers is now available on its website.
Typhoo prides itself on its ethical position and reputation within the industry and has a long-standing history of helping raise industry standards. Typhoo Tea Limited was one of the first tea companies to send its buyers to monitor various aspects of working conditions across their tea estates – offering retailers greater transparency on tea provenance.
Built on strong values of responsible trading, Typhoo is now publishing details of its tea suppliers, adding its weight to a sector-wide approach that will increase supply chain accountability.
“At Typhoo, our commitment to sourcing responsibly in an ethical and safe manner is of high importance and we take pride in knowing where our tea is from. We’d like to share this with everyone who enjoys a cup of Typhoo and help to ensure wider industry transparency and accountability. We’re always looking for more sustainable ways to source our tea and source tea from Rainforest Alliance certified farms that have environmentally and socially responsible practices. We are also a member of member of Ethical Tea Partnership.” says Paul Jefferies, Tea Buyer, Typhoo Tea Limited.
Family founded in 1903, Typhoo Tea Limited, based in Moreton, Wirral packs over 18,000 tonnes of tea and infusions every year[1]. Typhoo is passionate about providing quality tea following ethical and sustainable practices.
