NEMI Teas Brews Social Change with Fairtrade and Organic Certified Teas

NEMI Teas, a London-based tea company, is redefining the landscape of the tea industry with its unique combination of ethical sourcing, environmental responsibility, and social impact. The company, which utilizes a workforce comprised primarily of refugees, is not just about crafting premium, Fairtrade, and Organic-certified teas, but it also seeks to integrate refugees into the UK workforce, thereby empowering them with critical job readiness skills and local work experience.


NEMI Teas lines the shelves with an impressive selection of tea blends including an English Breakfast blend known for its robustness and full-bodied flavour, a Spicy Chai tea boasting a blend of whole-leaf black tea and aromatic Indian spices, and a delicate Green Tea recognised for its superior aroma and spice.

In addition to its commitment to providing high-quality products, NEMI Teas is also a proponent of fair employment practices. The company firmly believes in offering everyone residing in the UK, whether refugee or economic migrant, an equal opportunity to secure a quality of life, contribute to societal development, and integrate successfully into the broader community.

Aligned with the principles of the Fairtrade movement, NEMI Teas ensures that the farmers and workers involved in the production of its tea are compensated fairly, leading not only to improved living conditions, but also to enhanced farming practices, environmental management, healthcare, and education in the workers' communities.

Organic living is at the heart of NEMI Teas' operations. As an Organic-certified supplier, the company upholds standards that favour the well-being of people, animals, wildlife, and the environment. This ethos extends to their product packaging—both their pyramid tea bags and loose-leaf tea come in fully biodegradable packaging made from NatureFlex™ films based on cellulose from renewable wood pulp.

The environmental foresight of NEMI Teas is further demonstrated by their use of biodegradable tea bags constructed from Polylactic Acid (PLA) derived from non-GMO sugarcane and sealed ultrasonically, forgoing the need for heat or glue.

The London-based company has received positive accolades for their efforts, reflected not only in the lives they have impacted but also in the numerous awards it has won over the years including the prestigious Kings Award for Promoting Opportunity, FSB Award and the FDF Awards.

NEMI Teas, through its sustainable practices, is crafting a narrative of hope and resilience within the tea industry. By fostering a harmonious link between product quality, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship, the company offers a cup that's good for the soul and the planet alike.
