Rainforest Alliance

The Rainforest Alliance is a leading international non-profit conservation organisation operating in over 50 countries. It advocates the use of sustainable farming methods to protect the environment, as well as helping the local workers and their communities.

It collaborates with farmers, workers, business leaders, governments and local communities to develop and implement standards in tea and coffee farming that are socially and environmentally responsible, as well as economically viable.

'Certification' by the Rainforest Alliance is a signal that a farm has met rigorous standards that conserve biodiversity and provide sustainable livelihood.

Rainforest Alliance certification stands for a sustainable future for tea and coffee farming, and is an independent guarantee that high social, economic and environmental standards are being met, without damaging their environment and without depleting vital natural resources.

Coffee and Tea produced in line with the ideals of sustainability conserve wildlife, protects farm workers, and helps farmers improve their incomes and their quality of life.

Products from Rainforest Alliance sustainable sources carry the distinctive Rainforest Alliance 'tree frog' logo.
