Genuine Tea’s 1% Mental Health Commitment: How Your Tea Purchase Helps Canadians Thrive
In the health and wellness world, conversations often focus on physical appearance—detoxes, cleanses, glowing skin, and “looking healthy.” While these topics have their place, they sometimes overlook a fundamental truth:
Mental health is health.
At Happy Fox, we believe that wellness is holistic—and that includes emotional resilience, community support, and access to mental health resources. That’s why we’re proud to support Canadian brands that give back, including Genuine Tea, a Canadian tea company that donates 1% of all proceeds to mental health initiatives in Canada.
When you choose Genuine Tea, your purchase does more than support quality tea—it helps support Canadians who need mental health resources the most.
Why Genuine Tea Supports Mental Health
Genuine Tea was founded on values of honesty, authenticity, and real-world experience. Built from a love of travel, adventure, and exceptional tea, the company also understands the realities of entrepreneurship, parenthood, and personal struggle.
Like many Canadians, the founders of Genuine Tea have faced moments of uncertainty, exhaustion, and emotional challenge—and they’ve seen friends and family struggle with depression, anxiety, and addiction.
Rather than presenting wellness as perfection, Genuine Tea chose to support something deeply human: mental well-being.
Being “genuine” means standing for something real.
1% of Proceeds Donated to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA)
Genuine Tea donates 1% of all proceeds to the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), a mental health organization that provides advocacy, programs, and resources across Canada.
The CMHA works to help:
- Support prevention, recovery, and resilience
- Provide community programs and resources
- Advocate for better mental health policies
- Help Canadians access mental health support
The goal is simple: ensure people don’t feel alone—and that support is accessible, compassionate, and effective.
Why Mental Health Awareness Matters More Than Ever
Mental health challenges affect millions of Canadians every year. Stress, isolation, economic pressure, and uncertainty can make people feel disconnected—even when surrounded by others.
Supporting mental health initiatives helps:
- Reduce stigma around mental illness
- Improve access to early intervention and support
- Strengthen families and communities
- Promote long-term emotional resilience
Staying emotionally connected matters. Reach out to someone, pick up the phone—because even if you’re not struggling, odds are you know someone who is.
How Your Tea Purchase Makes a Real Impact
Every time you purchase a Genuine Tea product:
- 1% of proceeds are donated to CMHA
- You support Canadian mental health advocacy
- You help fund programs that support recovery and resilience
- You contribute to a more compassionate wellness industry
It’s a reminder that everyday choices—even small ones—can create positive ripple effects.
