Sipping Tea, Growing Forests: How Tega Tea Supports Rainforest Restoration
Posted on August 22 2025

At Tega Tea, we believe that every cup of tea has the power to create a ripple of positive change. Beyond offering organic, Fairtrade blends that nourish body and soul, we are deeply committed to ensuring that each sip you take also contributes to a healthier planet. One of the most inspiring ways this vision comes to life is through the Hiniduma Conservation Corridor Project in Sri Lanka.
A Vision to Restore 20,000 Hectares of Rainforest
Launched with the support of the Carbon Conservation Company, the Hiniduma Conservation Project has a bold mission: to build a biodiversity corridor linking the Sinharaja and Kanneliya rainforests, two of Sri Lanka’s most important remaining rainforest ecosystems.
So far, the project has planted and nurtured more than 10,000 trees — a thriving start toward the goal of restoring 20,000 hectares of virgin rainforest. These young forests are not just beautiful green spaces. They are lifelines for countless species of animals, birds, and insects, many of which are endangered.
Why Rainforests Matter
Rainforests are among the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. They provide food and shelter for wildlife, protect watersheds, and regulate the global climate by absorbing carbon dioxide. Each tree planted has the power to remove hundreds of kilograms of CO₂ during its lifetime, making this initiative a vital part of global climate action.
At the same time, this project supports the local families who plant and maintain the forest. By participating in reforestation, they gain sustainable income and a stronger connection to the land that nurtures them. It is a beautiful example of how caring for the planet also means caring for people.
How Your Cup of Tega Tea Helps
Through our international tea partners — the world’s first carbon-neutral tea company — Tega Tea proudly supports this groundbreaking initiative. Here’s how your daily tea ritual makes a difference:
-
🍵 For every 100 boxes of Tega Tea sold, one rainforest tree is planted.
-
🌳 Each tree contributes to the removal of carbon dioxide and the protection of endangered species.
-
🤝 Every sip helps empower the families who are stewards of the rainforest.
