Drinking Helps.

With every bottle purchased, you're supporting organic farming, fair trade, and social projects in the countries from which our ingredients are cultivated. To date, we've raised more than £7 million... and we're just getting started. 


Change the world, one sip at a time.

Every bottle helps

100% organic ingredients

Fair Trade

Supporting social projects

Only the finest, organic ingredients.

All Lemonaid & ChariTea products are 100% organic certified. However, beyond seals of approval, we also value the land and communities from which our ingredients come from.  In order to gain a greater understanding of our farming partners' cultures, living and working conditions, we personally travel to the cultivation regions each year to meet them. There, we see first-hand who and what makes our drinks special.

More than just fair trade.

We source our ingredients from Fairtrade certified co-operatives and farms where possible, ensuring there is social sustainability with all partners. Farmers receive fair and guaranteed prices for their products, affording them a decent living wage and the ability to implement long term strategies. Through additional Fairtrade premiums, the farmers can improve their living conditions locally and contribute to community-based projects for the greater good.

Drinking helps... one sip at a time.

Each bottle sold creates positive change. We support local projects that contribute to the improvement of social, economic and ecological structures in the Global South. For this purpose, a fixed portion of our revenue goes to the Lemonaid & ChariTea Foundation. Since January 2010, this non-profit organisation receives 5p per sold bottle, which to date has raised over £7,000,000.

Packed with Purpose.



The profound appreciation for the farmers who grow our ingredients lies at the core of our commitment as a Social Enterprise. We strive to forge meaningful relationships, ensure they receive fair prices and provide support for their communities. Our mission extends beyond beverages; it's about empowering lives and cultivating a sustainable future together, one sip at a time.
