We are passionate about crafting artisan teas that are both delicious and nourishing. We understand that at the heart of what makes this possible is our regions amazing organic farmers and organic farmers around the world.
Our teas are always made with only organically farmed and ethically wildcrafted herbs looking first to our local community for sourcing. At home in the Pacific Northwest and across the country, we work with over a dozen farms to source the highest quality, freshest herbs available. We are proud to support our farmers here in the USA and work hard to build meaningful relationships ensuring a stronger community and a delicious cup for all of us.
We value our partners ❤︎
Our overseas purchases are made with our global community at heart. We source our spices from fair trade certified farms and our teas from small gardens and cooperatives, growing their tea plants with care, using heirloom traditions passed down through generations.
we value our customers ❤︎
Our state of the art bagging technique, plant-based biodegradable teabags and beautiful packaging reflect the care and attention to detail that go into the creation of our teas and offer our fellow tea drinkers the best tea drinking experience possible. Original hand drawn illustrations printed on textured paper wrap our air tight recycled steel tins that are made here in the USA giving you something both functional and beautiful to house your tea, matcha and cacao.
we always choose people & planet over profit ❤︎
