Twigs Naturals Partners with THTI to Inspire Innovation and Empower the Next Generation.
Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago – July 11, 2025, Twigs Naturals, a proud Caribbean brand rooted in wellness, heritage, and sustainability, is thrilled to announce a new strategic partnership with the Tobago Hospitality and Tourism Institute (THTI). This exciting collaboration is grounded in a shared vision to foster local innovation, empower young talent, and celebrate Tobago’s unique identity through experiential learning and cultural exchange.
Signed on Thursday, July 10, 2025, at the THTI campus in Mt. St. George, the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) marks a significant milestone in Twigs Naturals’ commitment to supporting education and entrepreneurship through real-world, community-focused opportunities.
This cooperation was shaped and facilitated in large part by Chef Sonia Phillip, Dean of Academic Services at THTI, whose vision and tremendous assistance made this accomplishment possible. This cooperation was made possible by her commitment to enhancing student experiences and establishing significant industry connections.
Through this partnership, Twigs Naturals will contribute to THTI’s academic and hands-on learning programmes by integrating our locally organic teas and wellness products into student workshops, culinary innovation labs, and sustainable business case studies. Together, we aim to enrich the student experience, build bridges between tradition and entrepreneurship, and highlight the powerful intersection of culture, commerce, and community.
“We are incredibly proud to collaborate with an institution like THTI,” said Nigel Jordan, Founder and CEO of Twigs Naturals. “This partnership isn’t just about tea – it’s about investing in the next generation of thinkers, makers, and leaders. We believe in building meaningful platforms that help young people unlock their creativity and take Caribbean excellence to the world.”
THTI’s CEO, Mrs. Alana Holder-Findley, also expressed her excitement: “By working with purpose-driven businesses like Twigs Naturals, we’re able to create deeper, more relevant learning experiences that reflect the heart and soul of Tobago. Our students gain so much more when they are exposed to businesses that are leading with both innovation and integrity.”
Our goal at Twigs Naturals is to empower individuals, foster a sense of purpose, and promote Caribbean excellence, in addition to producing high-quality products. That dedication is shown in this collaboration with THTI. We are contributing to the development of a future where Caribbean brilliance dominates the global stage and where our youth view themselves as the creators of that future by making investments in education, cross-cultural interaction, and practical innovation.
