Tea cultivation, like any form of agriculture, can be sustainable in different ways. A lot depends on how the tea plantations are managed. Organic tea plantations, like those supported by VIET-TEE.de, rely on cultivation that protects the environment and respects natural resources. They avoid chemical fertilizers and pesticides and instead promote natural processes that maintain soil health and biodiversity. Fair trade also helps ensure that tea farmers receive fair wages and can invest in their communities. Sustainable tea cultivation is not only good for the environment, but also supports social justice.
