Boston Tea Party is a British family-owned independent café group headquartered at its first café in Park Street, Bristol, which was opened in 1995. The business has 23 cafés, predominantly in South West England.[1][2] Each location adopts a unique interior design and the company emphasises the ethical sourcing of local produce.[3]

Charity

In 2011, the company partnered with Coffee Kids, a charity supporting coffee farmers and their children.

The company is very active in supporting local charities.[4] Each cafe is active in choosing and supporting charities to support.Шаблон:Citation needed Teams from Bristol attended Cock and Bull festival in 2018, raising £6,000 for Jamie's Farm, a charity that supports vulnerable inner-city children.Шаблон:Citation needed

The company further supports charities by donating 10p from the sale of each coffee to charities local to each cafe.[5]

Sustainability

The company was the first coffee chain in the world to stop issuing single-use coffee cups on 1 June 2018 to impact the global plastic crisis. Customers wishing to have a takeaway coffee must now either bring their own cup, borrow a loan cup from the cafe, use a fully refundable deposit, or buy one.[6] Boston Tea Party now offer reusable bamboo Ecoffee Cups at wholesale price to ensure there are no barriers to customers getting a takeaway coffee.[7]

The cost saved from the use of paper cups – 10p per cup – is donated to charities local to each cafe.[8]

They have run talks and workshops sharing their learning and practices with other companies wishing to be more sustainable.[7]

All food is ethically sourced from sustainable resources.Шаблон:Citation needed
