We source directly from African women-led farms, ensuring every leaf is ethical and traceable.
Guided by faith, our mission is to create sacred spaces of healing through taste and hospitality.
We were born from the legacy of Grandma Cecilia — a flour trader and matriarch whose hands fed generations. Today, her spirit lives on in the hands of women who grow, harvest, and steward our teas with care and conviction.
CECILIA TERRA is also inspired by the founder’s personal journey of healing in Rwanda, Cecilia Terra blends commerce, purpose, and sanctuary.
Organic Rwandan Tea
Our tea begins on a single estate in the misty highlands of Rutsiro, Rwanda, where the soil is rich, the air crisp, and the rhythms of nature still guide the day. Grown at high altitude, nurtured by volcanic soil, and hand-harvested by a team led predominantly by women, each leaf tells a story of strength, care, and deep heritage.
Our tea is hand-plucked by female-led cooperatives in Rwanda—no middlemen, no faceless supply chains.
We honour the land. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Just clean, living soil and thoughtful cultivation.
A portion of every purchase supports our vision of a tea sanctuary in Rwanda, open to guests seeking stillness and connection.
Our mission is to nourish lives through African-grown wellness, faith-inspired hospitality, and regenerative trade that uplifts communities and cultivates healing across continents. Our vision is to become a global leader in faith-centered wellness through sustainable agriculture, premium tea products, and immersive hospitality.
