Numi Organic Tea is a privately owned triple bottom line social enterprise based in Oakland, California.
The founders named the company "Numi" after the citrusy, Middle Eastern dried lime tea they drank as children growing up in Iraq.
In 2010, Numi was recognized as the largest brand purchaser of Fair Trade Certified teas in the U.S.[4][5] Numi blends organic and fair trade certified tea leaves and herbs exclusively with real ingredients leaving out the use of artificial flavorings, "natural" flavorings, and/or fragrances commonly used in food & beverage products.
Numi's tea bags are packaged in recyclable boxes made of 85% post-consumer waste, printed with soy-based inks and not wrapped with plastic.
[12][13] Numi is a Climate Neutral certified brand, meaning it has committed to measure, offset and reduce its annual carbon emissions.
