Tree Planting Initiative
One Tree per Tea: Our Commitment to Reforestation and Climate Action
At Social Herbalists, we believe wellness starts with nature. That’s why every purchase you make helps heal the planet. Through our ‘One Tree per Tea’ initiative, we’ve partnered with More Trees to plant one tree for every product sold — blending herbal health with global environmental impact.
Who Are More Trees?
More Trees is a UK-based environmental organisation focused on making carbon offsetting and reforestation simple, transparent, and impactful. Their mission is to combat climate change, restore ecosystems, and reduce poverty by supporting tree planting projects around the world.
By partnering with established reforestation experts and local communities, More Trees ensures that each tree planted contributes to sustainable development goals, including:
- Carbon sequestration
- Biodiversity restoration
- Soil regeneration
- Economic empowerment
More Trees isn’t just about planting trees — it’s about creating long-term environmental and social change.
Where Are the Trees Planted?
More Trees operates in high-impact reforestation zones where ecosystems are under severe threat from deforestation, land degradation, and climate instability. Current project locations include:
Madagascar
- Focus: Mangrove and dry deciduous forest restoration
- Benefits: Coastal protection, carbon storage, wildlife habitat restoration
- Community impact: Local employment for tree planting, nursery management, and site maintenance
Kenya
- Focus: Agroforestry and community-led reforestation
- Benefits: Soil enrichment, food security, ecosystem recovery
- Community impact: Sustainable farming integration and climate resilience for rural populations
Nepal

- Benefits: Watershed protection, native species reintroduction
- Community impact: Rebuilding natural barriers and supporting indigenous livelihoods
More Trees continues to expand its reach by partnering with vetted organisations in other countries facing urgent deforestation threats — including Haiti, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
How Tree Planting Helps the Planet
Tree planting is one of the most effective and scalable ways to address climate change and environmental degradation. Every tree you help plant through your purchase with Social Herbalists contributes to:
- Absorbing CO₂: A single tree can offset up to 0.3 tonnes of carbon over its lifetime.
- Protecting wildlife: Reforested areas become safe habitats for endangered species.
- Regenerating soil: Trees restore nutrients and reduce erosion.
- Creating fair jobs: Local people are employed to grow, plant, and care for trees, creating sustainable income.
This isn’t charity. It’s climate action with measurable impact.
What ‘One Tree per Tea’ Means
Through our partnership with More Trees, we’ve launched the One Tree per Tea initiative. That means for every pouch, tin, or bag of tea or herbs you purchase from Social Herbalists, we fund the planting of one tree.
It’s our way of embedding sustainability into every product — and making sure your wellness journey contributes to the planet’s well-being too.
Every order plants a tree. Every tree absorbs CO₂. Every cup becomes part of the solution.
Why This Matters to Us (and You)
As a wellness brand rooted in nature, we understand the value of a thriving planet. The herbs we source depend on clean soil, fresh water, and biodiversity — all of which are protected and restored through tree planting.
We believe in:
- Transparency: You’ll soon be able to track your tree-planting impact directly through our website.
- Sustainability: Our herbs are responsibly sourced, and our packaging is recyclable — but we wanted to do more.
- Action: Climate change is real. But so is the power of small daily choices, like drinking herbal tea.
By supporting Social Herbalists, you’re not just choosing wellness — you’re choosing to be part of global reforestation.
