Numi Organic Tea Selected As Exclusive Tea Partner of WeWork
January 11 2022 - 9:00AM
Numi Organic Tea, an award-winning social enterprise, founding B
Corporation member, and a leading purchaser of organic, Fair Trade
CertifiedTM teas, today announced that it has partnered with WeWork
(NYSE: WE), ("WeWork"), one of the leading global flexible space
providers to become its premier tea partner. Numi will provide its
tea products to WeWork members in more than 1,000 pantries in over
275 locations in the United States and Canada. Through this
partnership, Numi and WeWork are joining forces with a shared
purpose to make a positive impact on people and the planet.
"Numi is thrilled to be the new exclusive tea
partner of WeWork," said Brian Durkee, Chief Executive Officer of
Numi. “This partnership is a promising symbol of a healthy return
to office life and we can’t wait to share our teas and mission with
WeWork members."
Numi will offer WeWork members six of its top
selling teas, including Aged Earl Grey, Moroccan Mint, Jasmine
Green, Breakfast Blend, Matcha Toasted Rice, and Rooibos
Chai. All of Numi's blends feature potent and efficacious
leaves, herbs, spices and flowers to boost wellbeing and keep the
body’s systems in balance.
With the pandemic accelerating a shift to
flexible work trends, many companies and individuals alike are
turning to WeWork for flexible workspace options. And as vaccine
distribution expands, pandemic restrictions ease, and companies
begin to action their flexible return-to-work strategies, WeWork
continues to see more people coming back into the office.
"At WeWork, we strive to harness the power of
community to care for people and the planet by focusing on our
climate strategy, local community impact, and core values,” said
Christina Ferzli, Global Head of Public Affairs. “We are excited to
provide our members with access to Numi Organic Tea products, a
brand that aligns with our purpose to make a positive impact on the
world around us."
In addition to being the exclusive tea purchased
by WeWork, Numi will be the official sponsor of Earth Day at WeWork
each year, partnering on sustainability initiatives and events. As
a Climate Neutral Certified business, Numi has an ongoing
commitment to fighting climate change and reducing plastic waste.
Numi uses tea bags made from biodegradable, unbleached Manila hemp
fiber — not plastic — and is the only tea company to offer a
compostable wrapper for its tea bags, which keeps tea fresh while
displacing the consumption of 14.3 metric tonnes of virgin plastic
annually. Additionally, Numi provides fair wages and opportunities
for tea farmers around the world, with over 14,000 people
positively impacted by its Fair Trade and Fair Labor programs.
Numi’s efforts (and sales) support Together for H2OPE, a program
that provides tea farming communities around the world with access
to clean, safe drinking water. Both Numi and WeWork are dedicated
to caring for people and the planet, and are weaving this shared
purpose into their partnership during a time when socially and
environmentally conscious companies are of the utmost
importance.
Outside of WeWork, Numi is available for
purchase on their website www.numitea.com, Amazon, Whole Foods and
more.
