Through our Pride Mission, we provide education and job opportunities that help restore and in some cases, ignite a sense of empowerment and self-worth for individuals who might otherwise be overlooked.

In Kenya, girls are overlooked. Due to inequitable educational opportunities, we use a portion of our proceeds to provide scholarships to the girls in the villages where our tea and coffee is grown. In the United States, we provide jobs for those who have physical, intellectual or developmental disabilities.

Pride Mission is “teaching people how to fish”, creating sustainable social change. The result is self-reliance, pride and dignity, one life at a time. Make a difference. Join the Pride.

Kathryn Petty founded White Lion after living in London and realizing high-quality tea is one of the last affordable luxuries. In her own life, she saw how it can turn the mundane into a pampered event. For her, tea was about living well without spending a fortune. And that’s what tea is—a timeless, simple pleasure that should be enjoyed often.

That’s why White Lion takes pride in sourcing premium teas for our customers. For over 20 years, we’ve procured high-quality teas from small boutique tea estates and large tea plantations so that you can enhance your lifestyle and add a little affordable luxury to your day, every day.

In August 2022 Kathryn Petty celebrated an extensive and successful career in the industry and is currently enjoying retirement. The new ownership group is pleased to continue her vision for White Lion Tea and to create a new legacy. Look for exciting and new things ahead!
