Every sip of Mabroc Tea makes a difference to the lives and well-being of the plantation community; every cup makes a difference because their ethical tea is not just another corporate cliché. The ‘Home for Every Plantation Worker’ programme centers on how to make a positive difference in the betterment of the lives of those who work hard to bring you the best teas in the world. It is a commitment made by the Mabroc Kelani Valley Plantations to embark on a journey to improve the lives of the plantation communities. This covers aspects such as:
