Maïmouna Kanté : from Guinea to sustainable innovation with KANTHÉ
Maïmouna Kanté embodies the union of African tradition and sustainable innovation. Founder of KANTHÉ, a house of African teas and infusions, she unveils on September 25 a new range in biodegradable tea bags, combining environmental respect with exceptional taste.
Born in Conakry, Maïmouna Kanté grew up in a family where tea was much more than a beverage: it was a ritual, a social bond. Afternoons spent at her grandmother’s, savoring Ataya – the iconic mint green tea of the Sahel – shaped her love for this tradition. It was therefore natural that she founded KANTHÉ, a brand dedicated to promoting African teas and infusions.
KANTHÉ: A House Serving Africa
KANTHÉ stands out for its commitment to Africa. The brand offers a wide range of teas and infusions from countries such as Malawi, Rwanda, South Africa, and Guinea. Each product is carefully selected from the best plantations, with particular attention paid to responsible and sustainable farming.
Sustainable Innovation: A New Range in Biodegradable Tea Bags
On September 25, KANTHÉ takes a new step by unveiling an innovative range: teas and infusions packaged in biodegradable tea bags. This initiative reflects the brand’s commitment to the environment, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional tea bags.
A Collaborative Vision
Maïmouna Kanté values authentic partnerships. For example, the collaboration with the Guinean brand Tensira resulted in a discovery box combining the craftsmanship of African textiles with the excellence of KANTHÉ teas. Each pouch is handmade by Guinean women, highlighting an ancestral expertise.
Combining Tradition, Innovation, and Environmental Respect
With this new range in biodegradable tea bags, KANTHÉ reaffirms its commitment to blending tradition, innovation, and environmental respect. Through her journey and dedication, Maïmouna Kanté inspires a new generation of African entrepreneurs concerned about the future of their continent.
