Lipton's Rainforest certified teas hit the US
Lipton is beginning to sell Rainforest Alliance-certified tea in the US this month. The Anglo-Dutch food giant, which launched the sustainable teas two years ago in Europe, expects all of its teas to sport the sustainable logo by 2015. Rainforest Alliance certifies farms that meet specific criteria for worker welfare, farm management and environmental protection. Unilever accounts for approximately 12% of the world's tea.
