Equal Exchange currently offers 6 varieties of boxed tea and 4 varieties of premium loose teas. Our loose leaf line will exclusively be sourced from small-scale farmers and highlight their season's best. Each product will be limited in quantity, but we will be working hard on sourcing more teas from different seasons and regions. In addition to more teas from our partners in North India and Sri Lanka, look for a very special selection of Wild Rooibos from South Africa later in the year.
