Ben & Jerry's on Black Lives Matter and the police killing of George Floyd: We Must Dismantle White Supremacy

We at the East India Tea Company were heartbroken, as were many of you, by the recent events in Boston Harbor.

For years, our tea has been enjoyed by Boston-area families, and it is a beloved brand in homes and pantries all over “New” England.

For us, a cup of tea is a time for sharing and caring, with loved ones and friends. A cup of tea is a symbol of hospitality, and a shared pot of our signature brew — whether you prefer our full-bodied House Blend or one of our Estate-Grown Single-Origin DistinctlyTea™ Flavortime Flavors — can and should be the beginning of a wonderful conversation and a healing dialogue.

To those who were compelled last night at the harbor to act out of conscience, to speak truth to power, we can only say this: You are heard, you are seen, and we will now take a moment to listen to your stories and to celebrate your struggles.

We hope that you will share a cup of tea with your children as you explain to them what the events of the past few days can mean. And together, we hope that we at the East India Tea Company can be part of building a better world.

One Cup at a Time.

Keep safe, keep strong, and we’ll put the kettle on for you.™
