The Leaf & Buds mission
Social and environmental consciousness has been rising in recent years, as people realise the impact their purchasing power has on the planet and on the lives of others across the world who work to create the things we buy. From fast fashion to cheap chocolate, we’re realising that the convenience we’ve come to expect often comes at a cost. This conversation is already well-developed in some areas - we know about buying organic and local, we talk about the coffee supply chain - but what do we know about that most quintessential of British beverages, tea?
This is where Leaf & Buds comes in. Through local collaboration and direct partnerships with tea producers globally, we offer tea experiences that centre the artisanship, health benefits, and cultural practices associated with tea across the world.
Our mission is to cultivate connection, curiosity and cultural exchange through tea. Through education, conversation and inspiration, we hope to foster the budding consciousness around sustainable, ethical and culturally sensitive tea in the UK.
