This space is for the collaboration of open-minded individuals, groups in pursuit of the the truth and fascinating facts about Baiyue tribes who hold numbers of wisdom indigenous knowledge and their land where the ancient tea plant has its origins.
This space is a haven for unbiased information not readily available thru traditional educational or media outlets.
Who we are
Baiyue Tea Association is a membership organization working with local tribes that lived in this region to secure their sustainable livelihood and promote the values of cultural heritage.
We made up of tea experts, dedicated, and local tribes across most the foot of tea mountain range, including tea makers, master of shaman...
We believe that providing transparency on where we source our tea from will help build a more sustainable supply chain by empowering all stakeholders in the tea industry – from producers to workers and civil groups.
Our aim is to drive long-term, systemic change across three thematic areas in tea – economics, culture and ethical tea partnerships-Helping smallholder tea farmers could come together to form a co-operative
-Finding, connecting ethical tea buyers/lovers/drinkers with tea products and culture of Baiyue tribes
We are uniquely placed to bring the right partnerships together to achieve our vision of a thriving, socially just and environmentally sustainable tea products and culture
Our mission
To tackle the deep-rooted issues and some of the most complex challenges that both our tribes and tea lovers on worldwide are facing through established the partnership between stakeholders.
What we do
Our Current Programmes: Our far-reaching programmes across the foot of Shan Tea Mountain range with six difference ethnic minority groups of Baiyue tribes address complex and systemic issues affecting tea communities and the environment in which tea is grown. We work to better the lives and incomes of tea workers, farmers and their families.
Improving livelihoods of farmers through the Strategic Alliance partnership
Helping farmers to learn and share knowledge to improve their farming practices along with access to financial services can strengthen income diversification. This is important to improve economic resilience for smallholder farmers and their families.
our programme activity focuses on giving smallholder farmers opportunity to learn and share information on new ways to improve agricultural practices through Farmer Field Schools (FFS), as well as learning about income diversification through the introduction of new crops to grow and sell.
Our impact
Since 2019, 1,477 farmers (690 of which are women) have completed the FFS training in Rwanda and another 2,311 (1,026 of which are women) have just started the training. The FFS curriculum covers topics such as leadership and group dynamics; quality plucking; responsible fertiliser application; pruning; and diversification in crop production.
As part of the learning, farmers have also been supported with seeds for agroforestry tree species to promote soil and water conservation and to enhance soil fertility. In total 53,891 avocado seedlings, 24,888 Calliandra, and 50,567 grevillea seeds have been provided by the programme in Rwanda.
Local tea farmers complements FFS as the group members have built up a strong level of trust amongst each other and often the profits from group activities such as shared tea plots and non-tea crop production sales are invested back into the savings fund.
"They have embraced being part of the Association and are working together to creat ethical products such as seeds and fertilisers to make the most of their shared land and the income they can generate from it.”
Tackling climate change and deforestation in tea communities
The effects of climate change will impact how and where tea can be grown. This has serious implications for the people who depend on tea for a living. Small-scale farmers are particularly vulnerable.
Tea production is threatened by a range of climate driven stresses including rising temperatures, droughts, frosts, shifting and unpredictable weather patterns as well as changing incidences of pests and diseases.
Deforestation is another major environmental threat, which exacerbates the effects of climate change and has a range of negative impacts on tea communities.
We work closely with tea communities to build their resilience to the effects of climate change, so that they can continue to provide for their families.
We help the tea industry to reduce its carbon footprint, become more energy efficient and lower its emissions. We support the sector and the communities within it to tackle deforestation, access renewable energy and to reduce their reliance on fuelwood.
We bring together the right strategic partnerships to accelerate action across the tea industry, in order to deliver meaningful, long-term progress on tackling environmental issues.
We work with experts to develop maps highlighting the future impact of climate change in tea growing regions around the world up until 2050. These have been important tools to help the industry and tea farmers understand the likely consequences of climate change, and to generate commitment to action.
We have supported hundreds of thousands of farmers across Africa to adapt their farms and farming practices so that they can deal with climate change. Going further, our programmes improve farmers’ incomes and resilience to shocks – as we support them to diversify, create savings opportunities and help develop their business skills. Collectively, we are improving their lives and longer-term prospects.
Not only does this tackle deforestation, farmers can see immediate benefits as there’s less need to buy or gather wood to use as fuel.
From 2016 to 2020, 180,000 – 300,000 trees were saved a year through factory energy efficiencies. Close to half a million trees were planted over this time frame, and 20,000+ tonnes of carbon emissions were avoided each year.
Developing beekeeping in important forest areas is another way we have been working with Malawian tea communities to conserve forests. Keeping bees is a key source of additional income, and keeping the hives in the forest is good for the bees and wildlife. It also increases local commitment to forest conservation, and acts as a deterrent to anyone felling wood.
Renewable energy
We have been increasing access to renewable and clean energy in tea communities. In Malawi, we have helped farmers to purchase solar products and fuel-efficient cookstoves. In Kenya, we have supported farmers to purchase 27,000 fuel-efficient cookstoves.
Bringing families together in tea communities
Baiyue tea association along with its member, DAVIDsTEA and producer, Zhejiang Kainon Trading, have identified the need to bring children and parents together through a safe educational space in OUR tea community
The context
There are MANY ‘left behind children’ OUR COMMUNITY. (These are children that often live with grandparents or other relatives while their parents work in urban areas.)
Parents of left behind children may see each their children only once or twice a year, and the prolonged separation disrupts parent–child attachment and can have a significant impact on a child’s development as well as parents’ wellbeing.
Our aims
The Ethical Tea Partnership along with its member, DAVIDsTEA and producer, Zhejiang Kainon Trading have identified the need to bring children and parents together through a safe educational space in a tea community in Zhejiang Province.
The pilot is running for one year, and children all have the opportunity to learn and play in a secure and safe environment, near their parents. The children are provided with a hot meal, and have the opportunity to learn about sciences and technology as well as mental health awareness and improved wellbeing.
There are also optional courses for their primary caregivers (parents) to learn about child and parent relationships, nutrition, maternal health and improved literacy and life skills.
Our impact
The pilot will reach between 30 to 50 children and their families across the tea community. This initiative is implemented and monitored through a partnership with The Centre for Child Rights and Business, (a social enterprise specialised in providing services to support families, children, and youth throughout workplace supply chains).
The pilot will reach between 30 to 50 children and their families across the tea community.
“We know that providing a nurturing and secure environment to encourage parent and child bonding will have positive outcomes. We are interested in utilising the findings from this pilot to see how we can develop other projects and programmes that put families at their core.”

Progress for the next generation
Innovations in agriculture help farmers grow better and protect our planet. Modern technologies have increased farmer productivity exponentially and, perhaps most importantly, have helped reduce the impact of agriculture on the environment. Progress can only be truly achieved when we use our collective ingenuity to look for answers. Together, we will share our experience in breeding, biotechnology, chemistry, biologicals, and data science to unlock new potential, and provide more tailored solutions for customers worldwide – helping to create smarter, better and more sustainable farming systems for future generations.
As a global leader in agriculture, we’re uniquely positioned to help. This is why, by 2030, we're committed to empowering 100 million smallholder farmers in developing regions by improving access to agronomic knowledge, products, services, and partnerships.
When smallholder farmers thrive, so do the people around them—that means communities with better nutrition and increased access to healthcare, education, and other opportunities.
Improving smallholder livelihoods
What does it mean to empower 100 million smallholder farmers, and how will we do so? We’re focusing our efforts and innovations in three key areas:
Providing farming expertise and insights, such as:
Digital tools, such as the FarmRise™ app, bring market insights, weather forecasts, and free agronomic advice directly to farmers’ phones, helping them reduce the risk of crop loss and farm more sustainably
Training programs, like BayG.A.P., teach smallholder farmers the best management and agriculture practices, including safe use of pesticides, compliance with international trade rules, and how to access local partnerships and outreach efforts
Building resilient food value chains to support smallholder farmers requires long-term commitment and strong partnerships. The Better Life Farming Alliance is demonstrating how such partnerships are able to bring true value to farmers and their communities. We are committed to continuing to work with Bayer and our partners to further expand the Alliance and scale it from thousands to millions of farmers.
