Research shows that people who buy Rainforest Alliance certified tea not only feel they are doing good but believe their tea tastes better. Now Turkey, the world's fifth largest tea producer and fourth largest market for tea, is set to become the first country where people can buy tea sourced from local Rainforest Alliance certified farms.
Unilever, who make the world's favourite tea, Lipton, and the UK's number one tea, PG Tips, is training 15,000 Turkish tea growers in sustainable farming practices to prepare them for certification. Similar programmes are being run in Southern China and Vietnam as part of a worldwide effort by Unilever's sustainable agriculture team to source all the tea in Lipton teabags from Rainforest Alliance certified estates by 2015.
