Wild Orchard

  • About Wild Orchard Teas
  • From Volcanic Soil to Award-Winning Sips
  • The Farm

Wild Orchard began on Jeju Island in 1999 with a simple idea: grow tea the way nature intended. Planted from seed on volcanic soil and left to grow wild among native plants and animals, their teas are the product of patience, purity, and deep ecological care.

For over two decades, no irrigation, no pesticides, and no shortcuts, just clean, regenerative farming rooted in tradition. Today, Wild Orchard is home to the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified® tea farm and more than 25 global awards for taste and aroma.

Each cup is a reflection of the land, the method, and the belief that tea can do more than nourish, it can restore.

Wild Orchard Teas are grown regeneratively on Jeju Island, South Korea, without irrigation, pesticides, or synthetic inputs, just volcanic soil, deep roots, and time. Planted from seed and left to grow in harmony with native wildlife, their teas are rich in nutrients and clean in flavor.

Every cup reflects decades of patience, a living ecosystem, and a deep respect for the natural process.

Wild Orchard’s tea farm sits on 1,000 acres of volcanic soil on Jeju Island, South Korea, an ideal environment for deep-rooted, nutrient-dense growth. Since 1999, tea trees have been planted from seed, not cuttings, allowing for stronger, more resilient plants. For over two decades, the farm was left largely untouched, encouraging a thriving ecosystem of native plants, insects, and wildlife.

There’s no irrigation, no synthetic fertilizers, and no pesticides, only geese to fertilize the soil and manage weeds, and nature to do the rest. In 2022, Wild Orchard became the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified® tea farm, a recognition of its commitment to biodiversity, soil health, and long-term sustainability.
