Flavia English Breakfast is certified Rainforest Alliance

The Rainforest Alliance is a leading international conservation organization. Their mission is to protect ecosystems and the people and wildlife that live within them by implementing better business practices for biodiversity conservation and sustainability.

Companies, cooperatives, and landowners that participate in the Rainforest Alliance's programs meet rigorous standards for protecting the environment, wildlife, workers, and local communities.

The livelihood of more than 25 million people depends on coffee cultivation.

Following crude oil, coffee is the most highly traded commodity in the world. Coffee plantations where the rain forests have been conserved are a blessing for wildlife. Coffee bearing the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal comes from plantations that protect these forests along with rivers, wildlife and the people.

Workers on these plantations and their families are treated respectfully, paid appropriate wages, receive medical treatment and have access to education. The Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal guarantees that these coffee plantations are managed in accordance with strict standards for social and environmental sustainability set by the Rainforest Alliance and their affiliated partner organisations.

With the increasing importance of sustainability across the globe, FLAVIA have been working with the Rainforest Alliance to source some of our finest ingredients from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms.

UK Vending Ltd are excited to announce that in addition to certifying FLAVIA Smooth Roast, Colombia and Rich Roast fresh-ground coffees back in October 2008, we are adding a tea to this range – FLAVIA English Breakfast.

Now at least 30% of our FLAVIA English Breakfast fresh tea leaves are sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms.

Flavia have been working with the Rainforest Alliance to source coffee beans from certified farmers. To be able to certify our coffees with the Rainforest alliance green frog logo, at least 30% of the beans need to be sourced from these farms.
