Teatulia's garden in Bangladesh gets Rainforest Alliance seal
Teatulia Organic Teas announced that its tea garden in Bangladesh achieved Rainforest Alliance certification. The Rainforest Alliance is an international nonprofit organization that works to conserve biodiversity, develop standards for sustainability and improve worker welfare. The tea plantation is the first one in Bangladesh to obtain this certification. The Teatulia Cooperative, which produces over 700,000 pounds of tea and herbs per year, now requires that all farm workers be trained in good agricultural practices in accordance with Rainforest Alliance standards. According to the company, this underscores its continued commitment to environmental and social stewardship.
