Rooted in Care: Why Wild Orchard Tea Is More Than Just a Cup

At Wild Orchard, we don’t just grow tea—we grow with purpose. Every leaf we harvest is part of a greater story: one that connects people to planet, ritual to regeneration, and wellness to the way we farm. As the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified™ tea, our commitment runs deeper than flavor. It begins with the earth—and ends in your cup.

🌿 Tea Grown with Purpose on Jeju Island

Healthy crops come from healthy soil, and healthy soil is created by minimizing manmade inputs, keeping it organically covered, and letting it thrive in as much unpolluted natural diversity as possible. This is the heart and essence of Wild Orchard Green Tea—hence our name, Wild Orchard.

All Wild Orchard teas come from a single, sacred place: Jeju Island, South Korea, where rich volcanic soil, fresh ocean air, and biodiverse ecosystems nourish each plant naturally. Here, we cultivate our tea using regenerative organic practices that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long-term vitality. No synthetic pesticides. No shortcuts. Just clean land, clean air, and clean tea. Organic tea.

🍃 What Regenerative Organic Certification Really Means

Being Regenerative Organic Certified™ goes beyond sustainability. It means we’re restoring the earth as we farm it—regenerating the soil, protecting water sources, and ensuring that every process benefits both planet and people. Our certification guarantees high standards in soil health, animal welfare, and fair labor practices. Every cup of Wild Orchard tea supports a global movement toward healing agriculture and conscious consumption.

Our organic certification is not a marketing choice; it is a reflection of how we believe tea should be grown—regenerative, respectful, and pure. No synthetic interventions. No shortcuts. Just earth, season, and patient stewardship.

In every sip, you taste more than flavor—you experience the soil, the sun, the slow unfolding of nature’s quiet abundance. And in honoring where your tea comes from, you become part of that story, too.

💚 From Hand-Harvested Leaves to Your Wellness Ritual

We believe that the care we give to the earth directly impacts the purity and flavor of our teas. Our leaves are harvested by hand, then minimally processed to preserve their natural antioxidants and delicate complexity. Whether you’re sipping our bold Black Matcha or our refreshing Organic Green Tea, you’re tasting the result of intentional farming, clean ingredients, and a deep respect for nature’s rhythm.

🌱 A Net Positive Carbon Footprint—and a Positive Impact

Our farm doesn't just reduce harm—it gives back. Thanks to our regenerative practices, Wild Orchard operates with a net positive carbon footprint, meaning we sequester more carbon than we produce. When you choose Wild Orchard, you're not just enjoying tea—you're actively supporting a model of agriculture that helps reverse climate change.

🍵 Sip Consciously, Savor Nature

Drinking tea is a daily ritual for many—but at Wild Orchard, it’s also an act of alignment. Each cup is a quiet reminder that our choices matter. That care, patience, and intention can be cultivated—and shared. When you sip Wild Orchard Regenerative and Organic Teas, you're choosing tea that nourishes you, honors the earth, and uplifts the future.
