Let’s dive into everything you need to know about organic green tea—its benefits, the best varieties, and how to find the perfect one for you.
What is Organic Green Tea?
Organic green tea is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilisers. Instead, it thrives in biodynamic gardens, where natural farming methods create a richer, more complex flavour. Because it’s free from contaminants, you can be sure that every sip is packed with antioxidants and pure goodness. Green tea is made from the camelia sinensis plant (the same plant as black tea). The leaves are heated before they are rolled to prevent oxidation and to make green tea.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF GREEN TEA
1️⃣ Packed with powerful antioxidants
Green tea is rich in catechins, a type of antioxidant that fights free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, and supports overall health.
2️⃣ Boosts Metabolism & Aids Weight Loss
Green tea is known to increase fat burning and improve metabolic rate, thanks to EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), a potent natural compound.
3️⃣ Supports Heart Health
Studies show that green tea helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease.
4️⃣ Enhances Brain Function & focus
The combination of caffeine and L-theanine in green tea provides a balanced energy boost, enhancing focus without the jitters.
5️⃣ Aids Digestion & Promotes Gut Health
Green tea soothes the digestive system, reducing bloating and promoting healthy gut bacteria balance.

Why Choose Organic Green Tea?
Organic green tea isn’t just better for your health—it’s also better for the planet. Non-organic green teas are often grown in monoculture environments that rely heavily on chemical fertilisers, pesticides, and herbicides. These practices harm the environment, degrade soil quality, and leave behind chemical residues.
In contrast, organic green tea is grown using sustainable methods that respect nature. Our biodynamic tea gardens thrive in rich, diverse ecosystems where plants and animals coexist. This not only preserves biodiversity but also creates tea with more complex, natural flavours.
When you choose organic green tea, you’re choosing to support a sustainable future, ensuring the tea you drink is pure, pesticide-free, and full of natural goodness.
How to Choose Organic Green Tea Bags
Many conventional green teas—especially those in lower-quality tea bags – are made from broken tea leaves or even tea dust. This can result in a bitter, harsh flavour that's far from the mellow, gentle tea of good green tea.
Look for organic green tea bags that contain whole or large pieces of tea leaves. This allows the tea to release its natural oils and flavours as it steeps. Our tea bags are also plastic-free and biodegradable, so you can enjoy your tea guilt-free.
Organic Loose Leaf Green Tea
Loose leaf organic green tea offers the most vibrant and fresh flavor. When you brew loose leaf tea, the leaves have room to fully expand and release their flavors. It’s a more meditative way of drinking tea—perfect for when you want to slow down and savor the moment. You can even rebrew loose leaf green tea multiple times, making it both economical and sustainable.
