Climate Change and Rwanda’s Tea Gardens : How RMT Is Building Resilience

Rwanda grows some of the finest tea in the world on the steep volcanic slopes of its western highlands. But the same mountains that make this tea exceptional are facing a shifting climate and buyers, investors, and sustainability teams increasingly want to know how their tea partners are actually responding, not just what they say in a sustainability statement.

This free report is built entirely on Rwanda Mountain Tea's own 2026 CSR documentation, covering all nine of its factories by name, with real figures and named directors.

Inside this report, you'll find:

• RMT's public commitment to zero carbon emissions by 2030
• Forest cover data for each factory, from Rutsiro's 300+ hectares to Kitabi's 400+ hectares
• How firewood consumption is being reduced year over year, factory by factory
• The 10-million-tree pipeline and RMT's plans for verified carbon credit audits
• Water, soil, and erosion-control practices on steep hillside gardens
• A full breakdown of certifications held across the network (Rainforest Alliance, ISO 22000, and more)
• Factory-by-factory profiles of all nine RMT tea factories and their individual environmental strategies

Who this is for: sustainability leads, ESG-conscious tea buyers, NGOs, impact investors, and journalists covering East African agriculture and climate adaptation.
