Sourced directly from farmers and procured at a fair price - a minimum of 35% of the retail proceeds go directly to the farmers.  They also curate intentional experiential trips to these villages to bring consumers further upstream to understand and appreciate the artistry that goes into the planting and production of these quality products. Chan Zi Xiang and Lilian Chen, the co-founders of Langit Collective, share their journey with us.
