Ethical Sourcing
Our Fair Trade Commitment
Ethical Chai. From Farm to Cup.
At Boston Chai Party, we believe great chai starts long before it reaches your cup—it begins with the people who grow, harvest, and process our tea and spices. That’s why we’re deeply committed to sourcing ingredients that are not just high quality, but ethically grown and fairly traded.
What Fair Trade Means to Us
Fair trade isn’t a marketing buzzword—it’s a core part of how we do business. It means we:
- Support living wages and safe working conditions for tea farmers and spice growers
- Respect the land through sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly practices
- Build long-term partnerships with small farms, cooperatives, and suppliers in India
- Choose transparency over shortcuts in every part of our sourcing process
In a global industry where exploitation is common, we’ve chosen to do things differently—because our chai should never come at someone else’s cost.
Where Our Chai Comes From
We work closely with growers in Assam and other regions of India where tea and spices have deep cultural and agricultural roots. Many of our partners are:
- Certified Fair Trade producers
- Women-led farms and cooperatives
- Practicing regenerative farming to protect soil and water health
By paying fairly and choosing direct trade relationships where possible, we help ensure that workers are not only compensated properly—but are also treated with dignity and respect.
Why This Matters
Chai is personal. It’s a drink rooted in tradition, culture, and community. So when we say we’re building a better chai culture in the U.S., we also mean:
- Protecting the people who bring chai to life
- Preserving the land that gives us these rich, bold flavors
- Putting values before profit, always
“Fair trade isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the only way we feel good doing business.”
