At Okayti Tea Estate, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As proud holders of the prestigious Rainforest Alliance Certification, we are committed to preserving biodiversity, protecting ecosystems, and promoting ethical farming practices. This practice not only enhances the quality of our single-estate organic Darjeeling Teas but also ensures a lower carbon footprint in our production processes.

Four Pillars of Sustainability at Aman Tea
