This is a company you may see in many stores. Grocery, natural, souvenir stores, Rishi has certainly found their foothold. And they do a good job by making sure to source through direct trade which you can read more about below. They declined to answer personally so the answers below I’ve put together the best I could give what I could find on their website. Joshua Kaiser if you happen to read this I’d greatly appreciate your personal answers.

What are your thoughts on transparency in the tea industry?
- “We work directly with the producers and pay fair prices for the crops that they grow.” More on their direct trade practices here. “Sustainable Business Is Conscious Business. A consciously sustainable culture is the very fabric of Rishi Tea & Botanicals.”
What role does tea play in our lives?
- Had to take a guess at this one because there wasn’t anywhere on the site that answered this very well but I thought this was close. “Tea was originally a food and medicine long before it became a steeped beverage. It is only natural that our tea practice draws inspiration from numerous disciplines, including third-wave coffee, cocktail mixology, sommeliers’ oenology, botanical apothecary, and the traditional culinary arts from global food cultures.”
