I want to support fair wages for tea pluckers. Are there specific labels or estates I should look for that prioritize sustainable and humane practices.

Look for the Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade certifications on the packaging. Estates like Handunugoda near Galle are famous for their artisanal approach, while many highland estates now offer heritage tours that showcase their sustainability efforts. Buying directly from estate shops often ensures more of the profit stays with the local community. Avoid the very cheap commercial blends found in supermarkets if you are looking for top tier ethical quality.
