These teas are certified by IMO who work across the globe, combining strict social and Fairtrade standards with adaptability to local conditions. The programme is based on several sets of key baseline standards such as the ILO conventions, FLO Fairtrade standards, SA8000, and IFOAM Social Criteria. It offers operators incentives for continuous improvement of social and trade conditions beyond minimum requirements.
Taste is everything to us. If a tea does not taste fantastic, we will not buy it. However, our commitment to look after the environment and the people that produce our teas is a major JING priority. That is why we have helped some of our closest suppliers, who already produce outstanding quality teas, to achieve a fair trade certification. We have a large selection of Soil Association organically certified teas (selected for their taste and not purely organic status) and our packing facilities are certified ISO 14001 which ensures environmentally conscious waste management.
