Typhoo brings into UK, bulk tea from Africa, India and Indonesia by long sea voyages that take approximately 45 days. In 2010, we reviewed the environmental impact of our supply chain and began to switch the port of entry of our tea imports. Until recently all our products sailed into Felixstowe, necessitating a 270–mile road trip to Typhoo´s base in Liverpool. However, as part of a 3–year plan to cut CO2 emissions, a unique supply chain partnership was created. Typhoo has now started commissioning shipping lines to bring the product, whenever possible, straight into Peel Ports, which owns the Port of Liverpool, located just 15 miles from our base. We have managed to reroute a significant percentage of our volume and aim to ship more directly into Liverpool in the coming years. We hope to achieve 90% reduction in our carbon emissions by changing our port of entry to the nearest sea port of Moreton, Liverpool and thereby deliver a key part of our Corporate Sustainability Plan 2010 – ´Greenprint for Good.´
