IKÓ and HumanForest, a maté made in heaven

If you’re anything like the team here at HumanForest, you've had a great weekend but Monday morning has surprised us all and we’re running out of the door half-awake. The first thing we are looking for is a caffeine kick to get us through the day - Monday morning 101 at this point. And although we are big fans of the short-term energy burst, none of us are keen on the crash we feel later in the day. Hello 3pm slump, goodbye productivity and focus! 

So when we came across IKÓ Drinks, we were delighted to pursue a partnership! IKÓ Drinks is a sparkling energy tea made with Maté. It gives all the ‘pick me up’ needed without any of the downsides. The coolest part? They source all their Maté sustainably and responsibly through agroforestry plantations in Brazil. 

Never heard of agroforestry before? Don’t worry, neither had we! Our friends at IKO explained to us that agroforestry is a land use management system where farmers grow their crops right in the middle of the forest. This protects existing rainforests and encourages new trees being planted  so they can provide shade to growing IKÓ Maté plants. So every can of IKÓ gives a tree a job, and trees with jobs won’t get cut down. 

Well, our Treenions, (Spike, Pod, Leggy and the gang), love that their fellow tree friends have an important job to do!  So join HumanForest and IKÓ to reForest the world, from London all the way to Brazil.
