The Republic of Tea received the 2026 NEXTY Editor’s Choice Award, presented at Natural Products Expo West, for its Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) Assam Black Tea. The announcement was made on March 25, 2026, recognizing one of the most rigorous sustainability standards in agriculture.
Regenerative Organic Certification, awarded by the Regenerative Organic Alliance, goes beyond standard organic farming: it evaluates soil health, fairness toward farm workers, support for farmers and animal welfare, through a farm-based, brand-driven certification system. For an Assam tea — typically grown on large, intensive plantations — such a certification is seen as a notable step toward more responsible practices in the tea industry.
