Are you ready for super foods, teas and responsible farming?
We are ready for you like Bruce Lee playing ping pong with nunchucks before meeting Radioinactive for mexican food! Bring your chopsticks! We got the handrolled rain forest rescue orange pekoe and handcrafted tea cups!
BioVerde is pleased to offer unique, rare teas that have been grown by small tea farms and processed within their community from Forest Gardens of Sri Lanka. That is just the beginning! Are you interested in forest garden foods which are certified with beyond organic standards? Would you like to be aware of a certification alliance here to protect your foods with a truly planet friendly farming process? Would you like to be part of a community that helps these rain forest rescue farmers stand out against green wash? Do you need Smart Pots or assistance with sourcing "Container Gardening tools" to help you get your own garden started? Order your Hydroponic Fabric Containers today!
We are also happy to share websites that help unfold the entire process of our connecting communities, from farmer to yoga friend. Each one deserves attention, each point of view reveals special function or participation, and as we help people meet their farmers, we invite you to interact and communicate with us according to your sourcing or farming needs. Just contact us!
Visit our blog to learn more about where to find the teas, the people who drink them, our super foods and the ways we can join together as a solution that results in an ever growing beyond organic global community! We are here to help you find fair deals on bulk foods as well as people and projects that work together for the protection and preservation of the planet!
- Bioverde Analog Forestry Tea is produced organically and is grown as a part of a multi-level, multi crop agriculture known as Analog Forestry (AF) that facilitates the conservation and restoration of local biodiversity.

Order Your treasure of tea today!
The dappled woodland effect of the Forest Gardens of Kotmale Valley is an ideal environment for the production of these quality teas which are high in health giving polyphenols. These buds are collected, with minimal bruising to ensure peak flavour and converted into green or white teas.
Our communities also produce hand rolled full leaf tea in fermented or black tea style.
By ensuring that the individual producer receives a fair trade premium directly, we are dedicated to getting as much of the value of these teas as possible back to the farming community.
By ensuring that our farmers grow organically and design for biodiversity, our teas are clean, healthful and help bring back the native biodiversity to share the tea gardens.

Bioverde supports the Analog Forestry Network and represents the forest garden products which are a result of the Sustainable agriculture. Analog forestry is a system of growing trees and plants that seek to establish a tree-dominated ecosystem that is analogous in architectural structure and ecological function to the original climax and sub-climax vegetation community. Thus, analog forestry draws design input not only from traditional models but also from the natural forest successional dynamics. When an ecosystem is designed to be analogous to the indigenous climax state, the efficiency and dynamics of the natural processes can be replicated. These quasi-natural forests are designed to mimic the structural and functional aspects of indigenous forests and are referred to as analog forests. In addition to their ecological characteristics, analog forests are also designed to provide economic benefits. However, it is not until all the ecological requirements of the location are satisfied that economic values of species are considered. Therefore, an analog forest may comprise natural and exotic species in any proportion, the contribution to structure and function being the overriding factor that determines its use.
It arose in Sri Lanka around 1981 as an alternative to monocultures of Pinus and Eucalyptus and has spread to India, Viet Nam, Philippines, Australia, Peru, Ecuador,Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic,Honduras,Mexico, Canada, Kenya and Zimbabwe at present.
The International Analog Forestry Network (IAFN) is currently hosted in Costa Rica.
