Tea That Connects Women, Celebrates Sustainability, and Supports Family Farms
Eisa Tea Co. is a woman-owned tea business which stands for two main things: delicious tea and the fair treatment of tea farmers around the world.
Tea is undoubtedly our favourite drink, and we've found that the more you learn about the beverage, the more you fall in love with it. However, the opposite is true for the tea industry: the more you learn, the worse it gets; from environmental damage to the severe mistreatment of workers.
In the tea industry, women make up the majority of workers in tea fields, yet they often face mistreatment, including wage disparities and exploitation. As such, we work directly with small, family-owned farms across China, Japan, and India, ensuring that the women who pick our teas are treated fairly and equitably. We are proud to support female farm managers, leaders, and tea pickers, offering them not only fair wages but also leadership positions where their voices are heard and respected.
We prioritise working with wild tea trees and family-run gardens where the land is chemical-free and the trees are nurtured with rain water, meaning that you can enjoy the finest teas in the world while knowing you're contributing to a sustainable future for both people and the planet.
Each and every brew is:
-
100% pesticide- and plastic-free
-
single-origin
-
supports women in the tea industry
-
handcrafted with love, skill, and dedication
Plus, 5% of all profits go directly to our Empowerment Fund, where we provide meaningful education, mentorship programs, and financial assistance designed to help women on tea farms thrive.
Our ethos is simple: we believe tea should be more than just a drink; it should be an experience that nurtures and empowers.
Our Promise to You
You refuse to drink tea which directly contributes to the degradation of our planet and its natural resources, and we respect that. As such, there are several promises that we make to you.
1) No plastic. Simply, there’s no need for plastic.
2) Sustainable agriculture. We source our teas from wild tea trees and family gardens that work, with, not against, the earth. Sustainable practices are the norm and respect for nature comes first.
3) Short supply chain. We purchase our tea directly from the farmers. This ensures that they get the profits they deserve and your tea has a small carbon footprint.
4) Family- and female-owned farms. Women generally make up the majority of tea pickers on farms, and it is incredibly important to us that our lovely ladies are heard, protected, and in positions of authority.
5) 100% transparent. Honestly, ask us anything. We bet we're the only tea company that will give you honest answers 0:)
Eisa Tea Co. is about creating a movement of connection, empowerment, and sustainability. We invite you to join us in supporting women in the tea industry and enjoying the finest teas with the knowledge that your purchase makes a positive impact on the world.
