Extraordinary Ingredients

Protecting the Source

Saphara teas are beautiful and delicious because of the extraordinary ingredients we use to craft each blend. To help ensure that the many small farming communities that grow and harvest these exceptional botanicals continue to thrive, we are committed to using ingredients that are grown according to Fair Trade standards whenever possible. We also support organic farming practices that promote a natural, sustainable growing environment to safeguard the land.

Fair Trade Certified™

Fair Trade guarantees livable wages for farmers and their families, improving their opportunities for better healthcare, housing and education. At this time, not all ingredients are available with Fair Trade Certification, but Saphara teas incorporate Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients whenever possible, and we look forward to increasing the proportion of certified ingredients in our teas as they become available.

By purchasing Fair Trade Certified™ Saphara teas, you are directly contributing to the livelihood of herb and tea growing communities.

More information about Fair Trade practices is available at www.fairtradecertified.org.

USDA Organic

Organic farming uses methods that develop biological diversity and control pests without the use of harmful chemicals. Healthy, sustainable land is developed by nourishing the soil and building soil structure, and organic farmers develop and implement long-term systems consistent with proven, low-impact practices.

Saphara ingredients are 100% USDA certified organic, so you enjoy all the flavor and health benefits of our fresh, delicious teas while contributing to a healthy ecosystem and helping small farming communities.

Fuller Flavor with Pyramid Bags

The specially designed pyramid bag from Saphara allows water to flow freely around the ingredients, revealing the depth and complexity of the flavors and providing tea drinkers the rich flavor of loose tea and the convenience of a tea bag.

Saphara's pyramid bags are completely biodegradable—from the tag and string right down to the bag itself.
