Join the ITFAConnecting with the International Tea Farms Alliance starts with a simple idea: tea farmers and tea lovers belong in the same conversation. The alliance was established as a non-profit organisation by producers themselves, acting as a bridge between estates and plantations in many growing regions and the people who drink what they make. Questions about membership, applications, farm listings, or the work the organisation undertakes are directed through the contact channels listed on this page.
The mission of the alliance is straightforward and deliberately broad. Rather than promoting a single style, region, or brand, it links farmers from various production areas with one another and with enthusiasts around the world. Member farms across Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, the United States and beyond share a common platform, allowing the story of each estate to reach an international audience that is often curious about how tea is grown, picked, and processed.
Getting in touch also opens the door to the wider resources of the site. Sections covering articles, news, blogs, cultures, business information, press material, internships, and ambassadors sit alongside practical pages such as the frequently asked questions and quick links. Readers looking for background on the organisation itself can explore the about section, while those interested in the farms can browse the member estate pages, each of which reflects the growing regions and traditions the alliance aims to represent.
Many people first encounter this kind of organisation through a single leaf and a growing curiosity about where their cup comes from. Tea here is treated as a shared craft and a shared livelihood: the farmer manages a garden or plantation, the seasons shape what can be produced, and the finished leaf carries the character of its site. By supporting farms directly, the alliance keeps that connection alive, encouraging supporters to follow the journeys of the estates and the people who tend them.
