Rooted in Community

At 1950 Origins, our community is at the very core of everything we do. The dedicated garden workers, whose skill and passion bring every leaf to life, are the foundation of our operations. It’s not just about tea; it’s about cultivating a way of life rooted in care, respect, and tradition. Their hands, steady and skilled, nurture not just the tea plants but a living legacy that extends beyond the garden.

We deeply value the contributions of our workers, as their hard work is just as vital to our tea as the land itself. We aim to create a nurturing and supportive environment for them and their families. Our community is a place where every individual is valued, and every story contributes to the larger, shared legacy.

To ensure the well-being of our workers, we provide safe and comfortable housing, health centers, and access to developmental programs that help individuals grow alongside our brand. These initiatives not only improve their quality of life but also create stability for their families. Additionally, we provide rationed food and groceries to support their daily needs.

Education is key to creating opportunities, so we’ve established schools within our communities to ensure that the children of our workers have access to quality learning. This helps provide a pathway for the next generation to thrive. Our commitment to education goes hand-in-hand with our focus on health, as we’ve built hospitals and clinics to ensure essential medical care is available to all.

We believe in investing in the well-being of our workers beyond just the physical aspects. We offer paid leave to our employees, which is rare in the industry, so they can rest, recover, and spend quality time with their families without the fear of losing income. We also provide skills training and developmental programs, giving our workers opportunities to grow both professionally and personally.

At 1950 Origins, our gardens are not just places where tea is cultivated—they are thriving communities where care, respect, and opportunity grow alongside the tea. By investing in the well-being of our people, we are building a legacy of excellence, one that is founded on the strength and happiness of the hands that nurture it.
