T&Co.'s social and environmental impacts
T&Co. trains women in the Kibera and Kawangware neighbourhoods in Nairobi, Kenya, in sourcing and processing of spices and herbs, as well as in packaging of loose leaf teas. In order to support businesses of hundreds of smallholder farmers, they buy the majority of their teas from the local tea cooperative.
All T&Co. teas are grown without the use of pesticides and fertilisers. T&Co. promotes reusable tea accessories among their customers in order to diminish the use of plastic tea bags, which negatively affect our health and environment.
