KABO
TEA EXPERIMENT
a space where science, culture, and people come together to regenerate and protect the land

What is this project about?

Regenerative farming + ecotourism + sustainable business models


We want to make a Tea House and a tea plantation inside of regenerative ecosystem:

  • protect the coastline from erosion
  • be more resilient to floods
  • restore soil health and biodiversity
  • grow new types of tea
  • promote sustainable tourism
  • support education and innovation

Tea House

At the heart of the project is our Tea House Lab — a space where science, culture, and biophilic design come together to show how farming, community, and climate action can thrive in harmony.



Why Vageira?

The Vagueira coast, in the municipality of Vagos, sits at the intersection of ocean, river, and fertile sandy soils. It offers a unique microclimate with mild winters and humid air — ideal for experimental agroforestry. Its proximity to both urban areas and protected coastal zones makes it a strategic location for nature-based innovation and educational tourism.

Coastal erosion and floods
Vagueira is on the front line of climate change: rapid coastal erosion, saltwater intrusion, and extreme weather events threaten the region’s ecosystems and communities. Conventional approaches like sea walls are expensive and often unsustainable. Nature-based solutions are urgently needed.

Along the Atlantic coast in Vagueira (Aveiro), the shoreline is retreating by 2–6 meters per year due to coastal erosion. Sea levels are expected to rise by up to 17 cm within the next 30 years — putting land, communities, and biodiversity at serious risk.
This is where KABO Tea Experiment begins — a regenerative solution designed for climate resilience.
New way of farming

The land is zoned for agricultural use only, but Portuguese law allows ecological farming and research activities that support soil regeneration, biodiversity, and climate resilience. KABO fits this framework by integrating:

  • Syntropic agroforestry (agriculture)
  • Tea farming (value-added production)
  • Biophilic tourism and education (non-residential, nature-based services)
