These shared values guide all of our everyday operations, from internal management and customer/partner relations to our impact on the environment. 

Our shared values

Quality
We relentlessly drive for improvement of our products and never compromise on quality. In order to deliver consistent excellence in quality, we carefully source our organic whole leaf teas, which are hand-picked at small organic tea plantations. We prepare our unique teas using the world's finest natural ingredients and traditional processing methods. We are an international award winning company,winning Great Taste Awards' and Best Irish Organic Grocery Product’ from Bord Bia, to name but a few. All our organic teas are independently certified by Organic Trust, and our herbs are delivered by trusted Irish farms from the west coast.

Team
We are family run company and have created this family spirit at the workplace. Our team is an extension of our family and everybody is passionate, truly engaged and has a sense of ownership. Over the years, we have built a team of highly positive, professional and creative people who work in a relaxed, friendly and family-like environment.

Sustainability
We use healing qualities of plants in harmony with nature, caring about people and the environment. We are convinced that at every stage of production the Earth's ecosystem should be protected. Our products do not have any artificial additives and preservatives and are prepared in Ireland. All of our packaging and silken tea bags are 100% biodegradable to minimise impact on resources and the environment. We cooperate with small tea growers around the world which use traditional, eco-friendly methods, and also support Irish farmers by using locally grown herbs.
