Mission-Driven Towards Promoting Health Through Delicious Teas

Founded in 2020, Wild Orchard Tea Company is dedicated to producing the finest organic teas that promote both human and planetary health. Its range of products, including premium loose leaf tea, tea bags, and matcha latte powders, caters to all tea enthusiasts, even those who may not typically enjoy the taste of green tea. Wild Orchard’s teas are sourced exclusively from a single farm on Jeju Island, South Korea, which boasts USDA organic certification since 2007 and became the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified® tea farm in 2022. Michael Don Ham, President of Wild Orchard, explains, “We grow our teas naturally and regeneratively on a mineral-rich volcanic island without any sprays or compromising additives, resulting in luxurious, aromatic teas rich in healthful antioxidants.”

Beyond Sustainability at Heart

Wild Orchard’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond its products to its packaging and supply chain. The tea bags are made from plant-based materials and packaged in compostable and recyclable materials. By simplifying the supply chain and offering single-source teas, Wild Orchard aims to contribute to repairing the broken food system, ensuring transparency and traceability from farm to cup.

Wild Orchard Teas and Regenerative Organic Farming

Wild Orchard is honored to join hands with other great brands in championing regenerative farming practices to elevate human and planetary health. Our commitment to the Regenerative Organic Certified® certification reflects our dedication to sustainability, soil health, animal welfare, and fair treatment of farmworkers. As pioneers in regenerative organic agriculture within the tea industry, we aim to set the standard for the industry, inspiring others to prioritize ecological regeneration and a healthier future for generations to come.

“We’re incredibly proud to see the Wild Orchard Tea line joining other Regenerative Organic Certified® products in Whole Foods Market. It’s a significant contribution to the momentum of this important movement.” said the Regenerative Organic Alliance’s Executive Director Elizabeth Whitlow. “Perennial crops such as tea, especially when planted from seed which encourages a deep rooting system – have an immense capacity for carbon sequestration and enhanced soil biodiversity. Wild Orchard’s vision to source tea that has been grown as close to wild as possible – not only without toxic agrochemicals but also without supplemental irrigation or tilling – truly exemplifies the practice of regenerative organic agriculture as a solution to the climate crisis.”
