Roots on Jeju Island
More than two decades ago, on the volcanic slopes of South Korea’s Jeju Island, a barren stretch of land became the beginning of something remarkable. In 1999, Wild Orchard planted its first organic tea seeds in soil that was rich in history but poor in fertility. What started as an experiment has grown into a lush sanctuary that embodies both tradition and innovation.
Regenerative from the Start
Wild Orchard has always believed that tea should be as pure as the land it comes from. For 25 years, the farm has been cultivated without shortcuts or chemicals. Instead, the focus has been on regenerative practices that build soil health, restore biodiversity, and allow nature to guide the process.
The result is tea that carries the richness of its environment: nutrient dense, full of character, and deeply connected to the earth.
Their approach goes beyond sustainability. By nurturing the land in ways that heal and replenish, Wild Orchard is ensuring that each harvest leaves the soil stronger for future generations. It is farming as an act of stewardship, not just production.
The Power of Tea
For Wild Orchard, tea is more than a beverage. It is a bridge. Connecting people back to nature, back to community, and even back to themselves. Each cup is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that nourishment is not only physical but also emotional and spiritual.
This perspective has resonated with tea lovers worldwide. Over the years, Wild Orchard has earned more than 27 international awards, celebrated for both quality and innovation. Yet behind the recognition is a simple truth: when farming is guided by respect for the land, the result speaks for itself.
From Farm to Cup
Whether it’s loose leaf, tea bags, or ceremonial matcha, every Wild Orchard product carries the same story. The leaves are grown under the island’s unique climate, fed by mineral, rich volcanic soil, fresh mountain air, and mist from the sea. The result is tea with layers of flavor, naturally smooth and clean, without the bitterness often associated with conventional teas.
Tea drinkers can taste the difference because they are drinking more than leaves. They are experiencing the outcome of patient farming, regenerative care, and a philosophy that values quality over convenience.
An Invitation to Slow Down
Wild Orchard’s mission is to cultivate a Korean tea experience that nurtures both people and planet. From the first planting in 1999 to today’s thriving global presence, the brand remains anchored in this vision.
In a world that often moves too quickly, Wild Orchard invites you to slow down. Pour hot water over the leaves, watch them unfurl, and notice how something as simple as tea can transform a moment. This is the power of regeneration, carried from a small island farm to cups around the world.
