Dedicated to Preserving the Future of Tea
We are committed to 100% ethically sourced tea by 2020*
For over 10 years, we've worked with the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP) to ensure our tea products are produced with sustainable practices and under safe, transparent and humane working conditions. We are on track to meet our goals of 100% ethically sourced tea. As of 2017, 72% of our tea was ethically sourced. In 2018, the Starbucks Foundation committed to promoting leadership and economic opportunities for women and families in coffee-, tea, and cocoa-growing communities. We have partnered with Mercy Corps for 13 years and are expanding collaboration with UNICEF, Barefoot College and others.
