Numi, LLC (Oakland, Alameda) is a trend setting, organic specialty tea company offering full-leaf quality tea in tea bags, fresh pure herbs, and real fruits in hand-crafted packaging. From its beginnings, Numi made a conscious choice to eliminate the use of cello-wrap in its packaging and use bamboo for its merchandise packaging. In 2004, Numi converted its tea boxes to 100 percent post-consumer waste. This material has also been used for the packaging of several new items launched in the last 12 months, annually conserving over 2,800 trees and reducing landfill by 184,000 pounds. Numi's redesigned tea boxes include a bottom box labeling standard that identifies its waste reduction. The current annual savings was realized from their continued commitment to post-consumer waste reduction and sustainability thorough their packaging, marketing collateral and website.
