Tea field in South Korea

Wild Orchard Tea Company’s tea farm on Jeju Island, South Korea.

 

Sea mist, copious rainfall and circulating winds create the ideal conditions for tea cultivation, allowing the leaves to grow slowly and develop complex flavour. The island’s rich volcanic soil and native wildlife also bring a unique terroir to the tea.

Picked at first harvest, the leaves yield a beautifully delicate, fresh and spring-like vegetal green tea flavour – with notes of sweet nectar. Clean, light and refreshing, this is the perfect green tea for sipping throughout the day.

The tea bushes are lush and hardy, and thrive with absolutely no chemicals, pesticides or artificial inputs. All the farmers are paid a living wage and enjoy the benefit of strict worker protections. And the company itself donates 1% of their revenues to non-profit organisations that make a positive impact on people and the environment.
