Farm To Cup
Salvia officinalis (Sage) - From Gardopia community garden located on the east side of San Antonio, Tx
To bring you the best quality in tea drinking, we use small family owned and operated tea farms as the base of our tea blends. We use farms from many different regions including: India, Japan, Taiwan, Africa, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, and China.
A big issue in the tea industry today is that tea workers are extremely underpaid for the intense labor necessary to produce mass amounts of tea for big companies. This is not just a problem of ethics, but a problem of quality. As the tea workers find no empowerment in tea, they have little care for the final product. The farms we use pride themselves in paying employees properly and empowering their lives by offering many resources for the workers and their families. In return, this results in quality tea growing methods and processing.
Our Passion
“Our bodies are made of the same elements, minerals, and living compounds that are found in the rest of the natural world, for every lack or imbalance, therefore, there are plants that can supply the missing factors.”
We believe that tea drinking is an essential part of everyday life because of its multiple health benefits. The inspiration behind blending these teas comes from both a love for the tea plant (Camellia SInensis), and a passion for natural Native American herbal remedies. We truly believe; as stated in a favorite book of ours entitled "Native American Herbs", "Our bodies are made of the same elements, minerals, and living compounds that are found in the rest of the natural world, for every lack or imbalance, therefore, there are plants that can supply the missing factors." We hope you find balance and clarity with each sip of tea!
