Certified organic agriculture

Kazi & Kazi Organic Tea

Bangladesh's first certified organic tea garden, chemical-free since 2000.

Core capabilities

Built to do a few things exceptionally well

Two thousand acres in Panchagarh farmed without a single synthetic input, audited every year and sold into Europe, Japan and North America.

Kazi & Kazi took flat, unpromising land in the far north of Bangladesh and made it the country’s first certified organic tea estate. Not one synthetic fertiliser, pesticide or herbicide has been used on it since the first bush went in.

The garden is farmed as a whole system — cattle, vermicompost, biogas, shade planting and a workforce that lives on the estate. The certification is the consequence of how it is run, not the reason for it.

  • Certified organic cultivation

    Two thousand acres under continuous organic management and annual third-party audit.

  • Soil & biodiversity programme

    Vermicompost, biogas and shade planting that rebuild the soil the crop depends on.

  • On-estate processing

    Withering, rolling, oxidation and drying within walking distance of the plucking table.

  • Export & private label

    Bulk, retail and private-label supply into Europe, Japan and North America.
