Tea & the Earth: Sustainable Sips and Planet-Loving Practices<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

We honor Earth Day<\/mark><\/a> year-round here at Ku Cha House of Tea. After all, tea is an agricultural product. Its majestic grandeur hinges on the stuff of soil and stream, of blooms and biodiversity, fertility and fungi. The dizzying diversity of factors that go into supporting thriving life on Earth matter deeply to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday\u2019s Earth Day likely compelled many of you to celebrate. But hey, we\u2019re still in Earth Week! Let\u2019s keep the party going! In fact, let\u2019s stoke its trajectory all the way through Mother\u2019s Day on May 11. Earth Day and Mother\u2019s Day\u2014two holidays honoring different kinds of mamas. And for Mother’s Day, do we have some gift ideas for you\u2014including Mom’s Favorite Tea Box<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our teas hail from around the world\u2014from China to Kenya, Japan to India, Argentina to North America. The farmers with whom we work value our support\u2014and yours, too. Without your purchases they wouldn\u2019t have farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose-Leaf Teas for Environmental Stewardship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Father than packing our gorgeous botanical treasures into tea bags, which funnels just that much more waste into the world, we sell our tea in whole-leaf form. No bags requiring energy-hogging manufacturing. No tossing used bags into landfills. Just whole leaves, many of which can be steeped multiple times before heading to the compost, where they transform into vital soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each sip of tea reflects a yield of sunlight, soil, rain and human care. It\u2019s a distillation of all of the above. Our teas aren\u2019t punched up with artificial flavors or dyes, with fillers or binders. They\u2019re just beautiful plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So drink tea during Earth Week, and consider its environmental roots with each sip. Keep it up year-round, no matter the season\u2014iced oolong during a swelting Saturday in the garden; honey-sweetened chai from a thermos for an autumn soccer game; a mug dancing with flavors of cinnamon, peppermint and chocolate during the holidays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth approves!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth Day Teas: Premium Matcha Powder Green Tea<\/mark><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n

All of the tea we sell is environmentally beneficial. Brewed tea leaves, for example, aren\u2019t landfill waste. They break down, and can be transformed into compost. But with matcha, there\u2019s no waste whatsoever. As the tea leaves get ground into powders, matcha drinkers sip the entire tea leaves. Matcha is delicious, colorful and used in everything from scones to salmon glazes to lattes to, yes, cups of deliciousness. It\u2019s environmentally friendly, too. It\u2019s green qualities? Just as emerald as its color!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very name of this Ku Cha 20th anniversay tea speaks to environmentalism. Humans have done much to harm the planet; renewal is important for her health. But the tea\u2019s green resonance goes beyond the name. We use both oolong and black teas from China, grown by farmers following sound agricultural practices. And we enliven this tea with osmanthus and cornflower blossoms, for beautiful floral aromas and flavors. We love how this tea, like so many of our blends, combines healing Earth botanicals in its formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrate our anniversary with Ku Cha Radiance\u2014and honor Mother Earth with every sip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
