DIRECT ACTION FOR DIRECT NEED

Ahmad Tea is continuously finding ways to have a positive social and environmental impact on the places we source, process and sell our tea. Ahmad Tea was founded on a vision that business was an opportunity to give back and we have built a network of local partners all over the world who are able to take action where it is needed most. This direct way of working ensures that as this family business grows, our commitment to each other stays.

THE HOUSE OF TEA

We call our approach to sustainability our ‘House of Tea’, focusing our efforts principally on four Sustainable Development Goals, which, in turn are supported by four activation pillars.
