Sustainability at DieTees
Responsibility for People, Tea and Nature
For us, sustainability is not just a buzzword, but a matter close to our heart. We combine excellent flavour with environmentally friendly production and social fairness — from the tea garden to your cup.
Organic Cultivation
Teas from EU-certified organic cultivation (DE-ÖKO-039) — free from chemical-synthetic pesticides.
Fair Partnerships
Direct collaboration with small producers & farming cooperatives — fair prices, long term.
Sustainable Packaging
100% recyclable packaging solutions — continuously reducing plastic.
Climate Protection
Optimised transport routes & energy-efficient processes for a smaller CO₂ footprint.
🌿 Responsibility for Nature
A large share of our products comes from certified organic farming — because we believe nature is the key to the quality and flavour of our teas. Organic farming not only protects plant life, it also keeps the soil fertile and usable for the long term, without exploiting it.
We also place great importance on environmentally friendly packaging solutions: our packaging is 100% recyclable, and we work continuously to further reduce our use of plastic.
The topic of Climate Protection is also a key part of our sustainability strategy. Through energy-efficient processes and optimised transport routes, we do everything we can to reduce our CO₂ footprint.
What we actually do:
- EU organic certification — control number DE-ÖKO-039
- 100% recyclable packaging — reducing plastic content wherever possible
- Optimised transport routes — bundled deliveries, short transport distances
- Energy-efficient warehousing & logistics — reducing our CO₂ footprint
- Direct sourcing from the farm — no unnecessary middleman transport
🤝 Supporting Countries of Origin
Our teas come from many different regions of the world. We place great importance on working closely with small producers and farming cooperatives . Fairness and partnership are at the heart of everything we do.
We pay fair prices, enabling producers to sustainably improve their living conditions and those of their families. At the same time, we rely on direct collaborationbased on mutual trust and exchange.
Through regular visits to the tea gardens, we get to know the challenges on the ground better and can actively help introduce sustainable farming methods — building a connection between the people in the countries of origin and our commitment to quality and responsibility.
🔍 Quality & Transparency
At DieTees, we stand for absolute transparency and the highest quality — from the careful selection of tea leaves to the finished cup in your hands.
We source our teas directly from the producers, which not only guarantees the quality of our products but also lets us bypass middlemen and ensure fair prices.
At the same time, we place great importance on open communication: our customers receive comprehensive information about the origin, cultivation and processing of our teas. This builds trust based on honesty — and gives you the chance to trace your tea's journey from its origin all the way to your home.
You can find out more about our organic standards on our organic certification page.

🌱 Sustainability Also Starts With You
Sustainability doesn't just start with us as a company — it also starts with you as consumers. We want to inspire you to use resources more mindfully and to appreciate the value of an organic product.
To help foster this awareness, we focus on education and information: on our website and in our magazine , you'll regularly find useful tips on sustainable tea preparation as well as information about the ecological footprint of our products.
But sustainability is a shared journey: with every product you buy, you make an important contribution to supporting sustainable projects in the countries of origin. Together, we can build a better, more responsible future.
🌍 Our Mission — For a Greener Future
At DieTees , we firmly believe that even small steps can make a big difference when carried out with determination and a clear goal. We are continuously working to expand our range with even more organically grown products while also supporting environmentally friendly projects. Our commitment doesn't stop at the present — we see it as our responsibility, through sustainable action, to preserve not only the natural diversity of our planet, but also to leave future generations a world that is worth living in, healthy, and in harmony with nature.
