Rooted in Legacy. Steeped in Earth. Anchored in Grace.
Organic Tea
We source directly from African women-led farms, ensuring every leaf is ethical and traceable.
Timeless Taste
Guided by faith, our mission is to create sacred spaces of healing through taste and hospitality.
Tea with a Story to Tell
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.
Now Brewing
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.
Women Growers at the Heart
Our tea is hand-plucked by female-led cooperatives in Rwanda—no middlemen, no faceless supply chains.
Wellness with Soul
Organic from the Root
We honour the land. No chemicals. No shortcuts. Just clean, living soil and thoughtful cultivation.
The Future Villa
A portion of every purchase supports our vision of a tea sanctuary in Rwanda, open to guests seeking stillness and connection.
Why We Exist
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.
