Wild Orchard Green Tea comes from a 1,000 acre tea plantation on Jeju Island, South Korea, where the soil is rich in minerals from the native volcanic rocks.
Copious rainfall keeps the green tea trees naturally well-watered while the permeable volcanic soil allows for proper drainage. Constant circulating winds keep pests at bay, and the farm’s inland location allows for a mild sea breeze that provides a beneficial salinity, all creating the optimum environment for our green tea plants to thrive.
Wild Orchard’s green tea is harvested from trees grown from Mongjung Mountain Tea Plantation’s seeds first planted on our Jeju Island farm in 1999 and raised wild among weeds for the first decade in order to acclimate them to a totally natural environment.
Our green tea farm is maintained 100% organically without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
In 2007, we earned both the USDA Organic Certification and the Canadian CanTEST certification after being tested for 268 chemicals. Our green teas undergo a thorough washing process upon harvest in order to remove all dirt and ultrafine particulates—a growing problem throughout Asia impacting the quality of teas. Wild Orchard Green Tea proudly presents the cleanest organic green teas available.
Traditional Green Teas
Our traditional green teas are harvested between mid-April and early June. Categorized by order of harvest, each has its own distinct character of flavour and aroma. After the leaves are picked and gathered, they are thoroughly washed in order to remove all dirt and ultrafine particulates.
