Biodiversitea

Celebrate the diversity of life on this planet with our Biodiversitea!

Monsoon has collaborated with the Tea Fauna Project to study biodiversity around their tea-producing areas in Northern Thailand. Nature has a way of knowing best, therefore learning as much as possible about how tea affects surrounding ecosystems is vital for the continued creation of better conservation strategies and a more sustainable tea industry. 

All our teas are grown in harmony with nature in Northern Thailand to preserve forests, protect biodiversity, and provide long-term income for local tea farmers in Northern Thailand.

The Tea Fauna Project

Monteaco works with entomologist Alexey Reshchikov to study biodiversity around tea plants in Southeast Asia. So far this work has resulted in the discovery and description of two new species of wasps, one of which has been named after Monteaco founder Kenneth and given the name "Drepanoctonus rimdahli"

We need an increased knowledge about nature to build successful conservation strategies and with this project, we hope to build improved biodiversity databases and inspire ordinary people to learn and care more about what species live amongst us.

What is Forest Friendly Tea?

Forest Friendly Tea is exactly what it sounds like. Tea is grown and harvested with a sustainable method while protecting the forest. While mass production of tea worldwide results in deforestation, and more often than not relies on irrigation systems, fertilizers, and pesticides our sustainable methods for producing tea do not include any of this. Instead, we only source tea either from completely wild tea plants or planted tea, growing in harmony with forests.
