Pure organic spices of superior quality are blended with our brisk and bold Ceylon Breakfast black tea to create a traditional Indian Masala blend. The revitalizing yet grounding combination promotes a steady state of body and mind.
The base tea of Chai Cheer is grown, picked and hand-crafted on a bio-organic tea garden in the highlands of Sri Lanka’s Uva Province. Nestled among gushing waterfalls and lush jungles, the small, community-focused farm is dedicated to producing quality teas through ethical, sustainable practices.
Workers here are not just a part of a factory-line process – which is often the case with most Sri Lankan tea estates – but are empowered in their craft. In addition to learning the stages of the tea-making process, workers are instructed how to keep records about the upkeep and crafting of the teas. They earn a percentage of the estate's revenues in addition to their wages, while another portion of the estate's revenues is reserved for community-building initiatives and supporting local village families.
Our partner growers also emphasize environmental sustainability by using strict, all-natural growing methods. No chemicals, artificial fertilizers or pesticides are used on the farm. Rather, our partner growers utilize their own compost, organic sprays and manure from their own herd of rescue cows.
Because of our partner grower’s unique approach, their workers enjoy long-term, rewarding employment, and their Ceylon teas are of unprecedented quality and innovation.
