In advance of our upcoming trip to the World Tea Expo this week, I had the pleasure (and privilege) to be interviewed by Ann Arbor’s very own Homeless Dave. But here’s the thing… Homeless Dave conducts all of his interviews on an adult-sized teeter-totter! The interviews are then transcribed and posted to his website, Teeter Talk. Since I’ll be participating in a panel discussion on social and environmental responsibility at the World Tea Expo, Dave and I spent a bit of time talking about Arbor Teas social and environmental commitments, as well as many tangentially-related topics. Click here to the read the interview!

Green. Fair. Two of our favorite words. Well, this year, their not just principles we live by, but a neat outdoor festival highlighting the Earth-friendliest that Ann Arbor has to offer – from clean energy to green construction, to – yes – even environmentally-savvy tea companies! Ann Arbor’s Green Fair will take place on June 13, from 6pm to 9pm. Make sure to stop by – there might even be free samples!

We’re very proud to tell you all about the recent recognition Arbor Teas received for our sustainability initiatives in this month’s edition of Fresh Cup Magazine! Fresh Cup is a prominent magazine serving the tea and coffee industries, gobbled up on a monthly basis by all of us trying to keep up on the latest and greatest. As with our mention in Organic Spa Magazine last year, it’s quite humbling to be discussed in the media beside the “big guys” like Honest Tea and Rishi Tea, to name a few. Hopefully this means we’re accomplishing what we set out to do: deliver the highest quality loose teas as sustainably as possible. Don’t worry, we won’t let the hype go to our heads (although our hats are fitting a bit tighter lately!).

That’s right, Arbor Teas is this year’s official tea sponsor of the Ann Arbor Film Festival! We’ll be serving fresh-brewed premium-quality organic tea throughout the festival, so if you like good cinema and a good tea, and you live in the southeastern Michigan area, you really need to check it out! The Ann Arbor Film Festival is the longest-running showcase of independent, experimental, and artistically-inspired films in North America. We view our support of artistic venues such as the Ann Arbor Film Festival as complimentary to our support for organics and fair trade – the arts are just another essential dimension for a healthy society. Okay, enough soap box for now, back to tea…

We’ll try not to let our heads get too big over the Food Dude’s recent article on MLive.com about Arbor Teas, but it’ll be tough!

Well, we must be doing something right, because this June we’ve been asked to sit on a panel at the World Tea Expo to address social responsibility in the tea industry! Not bad for a little two-person on-line tea company, huh? The World Tea Expo is North America’s most prominent tea event – a marketplace for the products and ideas that fuel the tea industry. We’re absolutely thrilled to have been invited, and want to make the most of the opportunity. Although the session is meant to be a spontaneous discussion focused around certain guiding questions/topics, we’d like to arrive with a few “talking points” or key issues that [we think] should be emphasized during the discussion. And we’re looking to you, faithful readers (and socially-conscious tea drinkers) for a little help! Along the lines of social responsibility, what issues do you see as a priority for the tea industry? Fair trade and other social justice-related issues? Organic farming and other environmentally-sensitive production issues? You tell us, and we’ll tell the industry! Keep in mind that the audience will be primarily composed of tea importers, wholesalers, retailers and other industry representatives. Any feedback would be great – we’ll keep you posted as the event approaches!
