Our Mission

---

Our mission is to address historic injustices in the tea industry by growing and making tea with the free, prior and informed consent of local communities . Unlike other brands that are owned by overseas  owners who pay overseas 3rd party checkers to provide a stamp of approval, Bandalel is majority owned by the local communities in which the tea is grown.

Bandalel works closely with local communities based on the principles of "free, prior and informed consent" to establish grow, source and pack teas that have a respect for human rights and regenerative nature as a core value, not as a token after-thought.
