What is a social enterprise?

Social enterprises are revenue-generating businesses with a difference. Whether operated by a nonprofit organization or by a for-profit company, a social enterprise has two goals: to achieve social, cultural, community economic and/or environmental outcomes; and, to earn revenue. What the organization does with the revenue determines whether it is a nonprofit or for-profit. Either way strives to improve outcomes for people and planet! 

Why be a social enterprise and not just a ‘regular’ business?

Ladakh Basket works to educate consumers to shun products produced by exploitation in favor of those produced responsibly. We educate ourselves, our agricultural partners and our customers on transparency in our supply chains, paying fair market rate to our farming partners and delivering premium organic products that we’re proud to stand by. 

What’s the difference between a tea and a tisane?

Tea is from the leaves of just one plant, the Camellia sinensis, a hardy evergreen shrub found across Asia. The leaves are brewed and depended on how the tea is processed, the result is black tea, green tea or white tea. These teas contain caffeine. Tisanes (pronounced “ti-zahn”) are infusions made from leaves, bark, roots, berries, seeds and spices. Common tisanes include mint, Chamomile, verbena and rooibos. Tisanes contain no caffeine, so they are ideal for when you want to chill out and relax or for just before bed.
