trustea is an Indian sustainability code and verification system for the tea sector. The Code is working with smallholder tea growers, bought leaf factories, estates and packers to address some of the key challenges in the industry including working conditions, health and safety, water pollution, food safety, soil erosion and contamination.

The code enables producers, buyers and others involved in Indian tea businesses to obtain tea that has been produced according to agreed, credible, transparent and measurable criteria.
