Sustainability
We are committed to supporting sustainable farming practices.
Sustainability
Sustainability at the Core of Every Blend at African Blend & Infusions, we are committed to supporting sustainable farming practices. Our teas are grown using organic methods that preserve the environment and promote biodiversity. By choosing our teas, you are not only supporting your own health but also the health of the planet and the farmers who make it all possible. From reducing waste in our packaging to ensuring fair wages for our farmers, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
Organic Farming
No Synthetic Chemicals
We avoid using synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilisers, opting for natural alternatives that protect soil health and biodiversity
Soil Health
Our farming practices promote healthy soil, which is crucial for growing high-quality tea. We use composting, cover cropping, and crop rotation to maintain and enhance soil fertility
Water Conservation
Efficient water use is a priority in our tea gardens. We employ rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and other water-saving techniques to minimise our water footprint.
Biodiversity Conservation
Habitat Protection
Our tea plantations are designed to coexist with natural habitats, preserving native plants and wildlife. We create buffer zones and wildlife corridors to support local ecosystems
Agroforestry
We integrate trees and shrubs into our tea gardens, enhancing biodiversity and providing additional benefits such as shade, windbreaks, and improved soil health.
Renewable Energy
Solar Power
We invest in solar panels and other renewable energy sources to power our processing facilities, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
Energy Efficiency
Our production processes are optimised for energy efficiency, minimising waste and maximising the use of renewable resources.
Waste Reduction
Zero Waste Goals
We strive for zero waste in our production facilities by reducing, reusing, and recycling materials wherever possible.
Composting:
Organic waste from tea processing is composted and returned to the soil, creating a closed-loop system that reduces waste and enhances soil health.
