About the Plantation

If you're new to Purely Organic's range of single estate teas, you'll find them refreshingly different. And that's not just because they taste so good.

When people drink our teas, they're not just drinking some of the finest and most fragrant teas in the world. They're helping to protect the environment and improve the quality of life of everyone who works on the Greenfield Estate in Sir Lanka's Uva Highlands.

At almost 6,000 ft above sea level, Greenfield is not only one of the highest tea plantations on the island, but one that operates to the highest environmental and social standards.

The estate is entirely organic and is operated to minimise its impact on the environment. It is inspected every year by internationally recognized certified bodies from around the world and maintains the highest standards in organic farming.

The elevation of the estate and its impeccable organic credentials combine to produce teas that are naturally low in caffeine and tannin and have a unique flavour and aroma.

But what really makes the estate stand out from the crowd is the way it treats the people who work there.

Greenfield Estate really cares for its workers and their families. It's run like a village, complete with its own medical facilities and school. And the business is registered with Fairtrade Labelling Organisations, the body that sets standards for ethical trading. It's your guarantee that the estate's employees will benefit directly every time you buy Purely Organic teas.

The employees aren't just paid fairly for their work. A share of the price you pay is given to the estate's social committee and used to fund a community centre, improve local housing and otherwise enrich the lives of those who live and work on the estate.

So each time you drink Purely Organic tea, you can be sure it's not just doing you good, but that it's helping others as well.
