Most commercially-available teas today are produced without respect for the plant or the planet. Laden with chemical pesticides and cramped in tight rows on plantations, these tea trees grow to their (stunted) full size bearing only a fraction of the flavors, health benefits, and vital energy of a happy tea plant.
Living Teas are defined by:
- seed propagation, rather than grafted clippings
- room to grow
- biodiverse environments and growing conditions
- free of any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers
- no artificial irrigation
- healthy relationships and living wages for all involved
This level of intention and respect has been our guiding principle from day one.
