Our Organic Commitment

All of the teas and herbal tisanes in the Heavenly Tea Leaves selection are officially certified organic. Why organic? Because we are committed to a healthy lifestyle and sustainable, wholesome, and honest tea farming and production. Organic tea is farmed without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers - things that don't belong in your tea or body. It's better for our planet, and it's better for us too, a real win-win all around. Read more about why we prefer organic tea on the Heavenly Tea Leaves blog.

Organic Farming

Organic farms are often small and independently run, so when we support them, they support us. Organic farmers use special practices like crop rotation and composting to keep their soil fertile and healthy.

Runoff from non-organic plants can damage the entire ecosystem, including our water supply and marine life. Instead, organic methods ensure that anything left over can be absorbed into nature. They also practice methods like cover cropping, and conservation tillage. These methods help maintain soil health and capture larger amounts of carbon in the soil than other farming methods.

Organic matter in the soil supports healthier crops, which makes them less subject to drought and heat stress. This can be beneficial for extreme weather events.

Organic farms have 30% more species

Organic soil has 44% more sequestered carbon

Organic systems require 45% less energy

Organic crops often have more nutrients
