PRESERVING QUALITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

SUSTAINABLE TEA PRODUCTION

From tea bush to blend, we discover how to uphold the quality of our tea while reducing our environmental impact. When it comes to preserving the future of tea, the smallest changes can be the most sustainable. Many initiatives are undertaken in our flagship production facility in Emirates.

CONSCIOUS DISTRIBUTION

CONSCIOUS DISTRIBUTION

SUPPLYING MORE THAN TEA

For tea to thrive, we look beyond the gardens to the countries we supply. Introducing noncompetitive ways of working and inviting distributors to share local charity projects with us. With these practices in place, positive impact can flow from crop to cup.

93%

Households now spend under 30 minutes collecting water, compared to 68% at the start of the project

86%

Target households now have access to safe drinking water – compared to 29% at the start of the project

4600

95%

Market garden producers have improved their food security – compared to 4% at the start of the project

Before the arrival of the Ahmad Tea project, there was really a water problem. There was only one well that fed several villages at once. For some tasks, we often collect and use water from the pond. Thank God with the borehole built by the project, we now have access to drinking water and nearby.
