Most ethically produced teas? (as in the drink)

I normally drink PG Tips but this is worrying me due to all the stories lately about the harsh conditions and immoral treatment of the workers.
Does anyone know the best brand/brands with regards to this?

Look out for the Fairtrade logo. Sainsburys and Co-op both have a good range of fairtrade teas, but I always go for Clipper.

I have ethically produced single estate tea from Sri Lanka, genuinely fairly traded and workers are treated very well (housing, schools and medical care all provided), the larger brands are trickier to say because they use multiple sources

I buy Clipper. I think their ethics are pretty good.

Thank you, I will look into Clipper.

Rainforest Alliance on their labelling, amongst other claims. However being Rainforest-allied didn't stop the horrific abuse towards female tea pickers in Kenya that was documented in Panorama. Those women pick for lots of supposedly 'fair trade' UK and European brands.its just so hard to know what's really going on.

That's what I thought @newyorkbreakfast it is hard to know and such labelling could cover up a multitude of sins. It's so frustrating, for want of a better word.
