Hello, June: A Mindful Welcome to Iced Tea Season
June arrives with gentle warmth and longer light—a quiet invitation to slow down, breathe deeper, and sip something cool. At Wild Orchard, we welcome the season with intention and reflection. And what better way to begin than by celebrating something simple, refreshing, and grounding: National Iced Tea Month.
Whether you're steeping slowly in the morning sun or preparing a chilled carafe to share at dinner, iced tea brings a sense of ease to summer’s arrival. It’s not just a drink—it’s a ritual. A chance to reconnect with nature, to pause between moments, and to taste the earth in its purest form.
Why Iced Tea, the Wild Orchard Way?
Our teas are born on Jeju Island—nurtured by volcanic soil, coastal winds, and regenerative farming practices that restore rather than deplete. This means your summer iced tea is more than refreshing. It’s deeply clean, naturally sweet, and gently energizing.
When brewed cold, our teas reveal subtle textures: floral highs, earthy depth, and an elegant balance you might miss with heat. And the process of cold brewing itself invites mindfulness. It’s a ritual of waiting. Of patience. Of letting nature work at its own pace.
All done brewing? Try cold brewing your tea—another calming (and quietly rewarding) way to practice patience.

Beyond the Cup: A Zero-Waste Ritual
Cold brewing isn’t just gentle on your palate—it’s kind to the planet. Reuse your leaves for a second steep or compost them for your garden. Keep glass over plastic. Add citrus or herbs instead of syrups. Iced tea can be both beautiful and sustainable.
