Key Highlights:
- History and Mission: Established in 1947, Devagiri has undergone a transformation under the leadership of Roshana Gammampila and Mike Bailey, who aim to revolutionise the tea supply chain by eliminating middlemen, ensuring fairer value distribution, and more profits going back to the growing community.
- Farm-to-Table Approach: This innovative model reduces financial and environmental costs, ensuring transparency and traceability from farm to cup, and empowering tea-producing communities.
- Community Focus: Profits are reinvested into the estate and local community, supporting childhood development programs, education, and direct financial aid for families in need.
- Sustainability Efforts: Devagiri practices eco-friendly methods, including reforestation, solar energy use, and biodegradable packaging, promoting soil health and biodiversity near the Kottawa rainforest in Sri Lanka.
- Launch Details: Devagiri’s ethical teas are now available in reputable trade outlets across the UK, featuring unique blends like vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom chai, Earl Grey, and breakfast tea in both loose leaf and tea bag varieties.
- Supporting Crisis UK: Devagiri also supports the UK homelessness charity, Crisis, providing 50,000 cups of tea during the Christmas season.
