Locally grown and harvested on our own organic farm, Tea'd Greens are made from the young green leaves of barley, wheat and oats and handcrafted into the varieties of Green, Oolong and Black Tea using traditional processing methods and equipment. Our leaves are hand-harvested and prepared in our on-farm tea-processing facility where small batches of tea varieties are further blended with certified organic herbs and spices to create a synergy that offers key health benefits.
