Tea and coffee are natural products \u2013 their taste, aroma, and quality are not created in a lab, but in fields and gardens managed with respect for both the environment and people. That is why we advocate for organic cultivation. <\/p>

In certified organic farming, producers forgo synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Instead, natural methods are used: compost, intercropping, crop rotation, and a lot of manual labor ensure that plants can grow in healthy soils at their own pace. The result: distinctive, varietal teas and coffees with pure flavor. <\/p>

As a company, we promote this sustainable approach not only by specifically purchasing organic-certified goods but also through long-term collaboration with producers who share the same values. This supports transparent supply chains, better social conditions on-site, and the long-term protection of ecological resources. <\/p>

Sustainability means more to us than just a label \u2013 it is a promise to the environment, to our partners in the origin countries, and to everyone who wants to consciously enjoy quality in a cup of tea or coffee. <\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Committed to Organic \u2013 for over 30 years<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sustainability is not a trend for us, but a lived responsibility. As early as the 1990s, F.L. Michaelis was the first company in Germany to import organic tea. Today, around 80% of our teas come from certified organic cultivation \u2013 with the share of organic coffee steadily increasing.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When selecting our varieties, we focus on more than just quality: Fair treatment of producers, respectful interaction with nature, and transparent supply chains are a matter of course for us.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Despite current challenges such as climate change, raw material prices, and bureaucracy, we remain true to our path \u2013 reliable, value-oriented, and forward-looking.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Our responsibility begins where our products originate \u2013 in the producing countries. Together with local partners, we are committed to strong, livable, and future-proof communities. A central part of our commitment is the targeted support of women’s cooperatives. When women are economically empowered, entire families and regions benefit.<\/p>

Equally important to us is access to education \u2013 for children as well as adults. Education opens up opportunities, builds self-confidence, and lays the foundation for long-term development. Furthermore, we ensure fair and safe working conditions on-site. Only under dignified conditions can true sustainability emerge.<\/p>

This commitment goes far beyond product quality. It fosters trust, partnership, and opportunities \u2013 not just for today, but for future generations. Together with the people on-site, we build stable structures based on personal responsibility, respect, and long-term cooperation. This creates added value that goes well beyond the product \u2013 from the origin to the end customer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
