The Simple Leaf Tea by Pekoe Tips
Description
The Simple Leaf Tea was launched by Pekoe Tips in 2006 with one simple goal: to help people appreciate the inherent simplicity of a delicious cup of tea. We venture out from our home bases in Chicago and Calcutta to scour the earth for teas that we fall in love with. When we finally find something that fits the bill (and we taste lots and lots of teas before we pick), we whisk it away to Chicago so we can ship it out to our customers as soon as possible. Through strong relationships with tea growers, blenders and tasters, Pekoe Tips is able to import and deliver high-quality fresh tea to consumers and specialty retailers. In addition to our loose leaf teas, we also offer a range of practical tea accessories on our website at www.thesimpleleaf.com.
Commitment
Pekoe Tips is offsetting 100% of the carbon emissions produced as a result of our business operations. These include inbound and outbound freight, travel and electricity. Every package of tea we sell represents a tangible environmental benefit toward renewable energy, energy efficiency, and reforestation projects. We are also very excited to be able to give our customers an opportunity to be part of the solution by participating in our Carbonfree shipping program.
