Is it Organic?
Love our teas and wondering if they are organic and how they are grown? Here are the details!
We love providing herbs that are the freshest and highest quality grown. That usually means that those ingredients need to be grown local.
When we can, we support small family local farms. Often times the organic certification isn't always a viable expense for a farm or small businesses.
With that said we believe in organic PRACTICES whole heartedly.
We believe that God placed us as stewards of the land and that it is our duty to honor that. Also we believe the the highest quality ingredients give us the highest quality nutrition.
While use farms who use organic practices even though they may not be certified as such.
There are 3 exceptions:
- Our beautiful lavender from Eagle Creek Lavender is not certified organic but grown organically.
- Also the cranberries we use are non-gmo but may not be organically grown. This is because most cranberries that are already dried come dried with sweeteners and additives... even organic ones. We prefer a local Oregon grown, non-gmo cranberry that is unsweetened and dried here on the farm so we get the highest quality.
- Currently the hazelnuts we use are not certified organic and come from a local farm here in Oregon.
Now when we can't find a high-quality product locally, in the large amount that we need, we purchase from certified organic companies in order to help keep to you, our customer, down, as well as keeping the product quality-high.
The labels and ingredient list on the website will note if the ingredient is local and/or organic or even some times wild crafted.
For single bulk herbs the origin of the herb is listed on the top of the product page just underneath the title. We update these locations as our sources change.
As many of our teas have multiple ingredients we don't have a great way to keep track of that on the website. If you have concerns please feel free to email us and we will do our best to answer your questions.
