We started Quintessential Leaf Tea Company in 2003 with the goal of providing exceedingly high quality tea to discerning tea drinkers. As we learned the amazing benefits of organic farming, it became clear that we only wanted to carry tea that is grown on estates that utilize organic farming techniques. We also wanted to ensure that the wonderful people processing our tea are

treated fairly. We decided that the most effective way to do this was to become a part of TransFair USA. A fabulous organization that guarantees that farmers and workers receive a fair price for their product. The Fair Trade price also means that farmers can feed their families and that their children can go to school instead of working in the fields.
