JusTea was born from a meaningful partnership between the Bain family from Canada and the Katah family from Kenya. Witnessing the struggles of small-scale farmers in Kenya, JusTea was created to provide new employment opportunities, pay fair wages, and reinvest in tea farming communities. At its heart, JusTea is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of farmers and the environment.
