Experience the essence of Ceylon with our Biodynamic Green Tea, a unique gem from the highest-altitude tea garden in Sri Lanka. While Ceylon is renowned for its black teas, this Biodynamic green tea offers a rare and delightful contrast. Nestled at 6,500 feet, this garden, once in disrepair, is now the gold standard of all Ceylon estates, showcasing organic, fair trade, and Biodynamic practices.

I wanted to give you a taste of a high-grown, rain-rich Ceylon green to show you the contrast of the flavor In green tea. This tea Is a Biodynamic green from the garden I have visited the most (and where my wedding was hosted :)). While this garden Is special In that Its the highest altitude In Sri Lanka for tea production, It's organic, fair trade, and Biodynamic as well but what's most Interesting Is that Sri Lanka Is not typically a green tea producer.

Ceylon aka Sri Lanka Is known primarily for Its black teas which are famous the world over and considered the most brisk and finest for moderately priced black tea. This garden Is up the road from "Lipton's Seat" which is where Sir Thomas Lipton, a Scottish tea magnate who owned tea plantations in Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries once owned the entire area where this tea is grown. During the exodus of the English, the area fell Into disrepair and this garden was left In shambles after being ravaged by the use of pesticides and fertilizers that stripped the soil of Its resilience. A high Buddhist priest was given the land and eventually he donated It to a group of visionary tea farmers (our grower family!) who spent the last 35 years making It the most pristine organic tea estate In the world. It's now considered the gold standard of all Ceylon tea estates and Is a learning garden for other growers who want to learn how to use nature's cycles and strengths to naturally harmonize rather than use chemicals.

It is located at an altitude of 6,500 feet and Is In my opinion the most beautiful place on earth :) Like Hawaii meets Big Sur meets a tea garden In China, this Is the place where the magic of tea truly entered my heart.

The region is filled with lush tea fields, small villages, and dense forests. This garden Is at the very top of the vista, where breathtaking views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and tea estates, span the vast views and It Is also a wildlife preserve now so beware of jaguars and monkeys!

Origin: Sri Lankan Idulgashinna Green OP tea is grown and harvested in the Idulgashinna Tea Garden of Sri Lanka, which is known for its Biodynamic teas. The region's altitude, misty and wet climate and organic, biodynamic soil conditions contribute to the tea's distinctive flavor and aroma but as you will tell has a totally different flavor than any other green tea producing region in the world.

Production Process: Hand-plucked, hand-rolled, and made from the tenderest leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant. The leaves are carefully processed to prevent oxidation and retain their natural green color and delicate flavor. The tea is then dried and sorted to ensure only the highest quality leaves are used.

Bring water to a boil and let it cool for a minute or two until it reaches 175°F-180°F and allow to steep for 2-3 minutes.

FAQ

Yes, all of our teas undergo rigorous third-party testing to ensure they meet the highest standards for quality, purity, and safety. We proudly hold certifications for each blend, so you can sip confidently, knowing that our teas are crafted with care and integrity.

Our teas are cultivated, harvested, and blended from soil to cup with the Magic Hour Rule of Love. The base of our teas is grown in the tea estate where I was married :)! The exquisite buds are grown and harvested by our friends in a garden that touches the sky at the top of the mountains in the high-country of Sri Lanka. The pristine Idulgashinna Bio Tea Garden’s perched above a wildlife preserve. It was the first tea garden to become certified Biodynamic and organic in the world, it’s home to our family of farmers and growers whose respect towards nature and one another has become the gold standard of tea estates all over the world. We also source from small organic family gardens in Taiwan, Rwanda, India, Yunnan, Kyoto and Kagoshima, Japan.

Our formulator, Zhena, is an aromatherapist and was one of the founders of the Organic and Fair Trade movement over 25 years ago. She was crucial in getting rules for organics passed and has had a long-time passion for organics, Biodynamics and pure products. Her blending style is bold and she uses Organic-Compliant extracts of fruits, essential oils, and spices that fall under the “Natural Flavors” broad stroke ingredient description by the FDA. We only use extracts and flavors extracted with non-toxic methods and are 100% natural coming from the fruit or spice or flower that is distilled without chemicals.

Other companies may use “Natural Flavors” that are in a Propylene Glycol base—Zhena fought the label standards on this chemical 15 years ago and is dedicated to NEVER using flavorings with this or any other chemicals. Our flavors are entirely extracted naturally using alcohol or steam distillation. In the blending process, if the extract has alcohol, the alcohol dissipates. If you’ve ever used Vanilla Extract for cooking—you’ve used what Zhena uses in larger volumes.

When we writes, “Natural Flavors” it’s not because we wants to but that’s what the FDA requires. It’s not a great description and we assure you our standards are of the highest using only natural extracts and essential oils.

Please feel free to enjoy most of our teas without worry regarding being vegan compliant.
As of May of 2021, the only tea we have that is not vegan is Quintessence, which contains honey crystals.

You could steep our teas many times. A new flavor nuance will arise each time. If you’re planning to steep more than twice, you might want to add an additional teaspoon or two according to taste and the strength desired.

It's a common misconception that tea ceremony has to take up a lot of time from your schedule. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself, daily, in a simple tea ceremony. Simply naming 3 gratitudes as your water boils will uplift and shift your day!

However, the process only has to take as little as 10 minutes! For example, for most of our teas we suggest steeping 1 heaping teaspoon in water that is between 160--212 degrees (depending on the tea type--check the label!). As you steep your tea for the recommended minutes, take 3 heart-breaths, expanding the emerald green energy of your heart chakra. As you expand that blessed energy, you will activate your true intelligence which is found in the heart.

Then as you steep your loose-leaf magical tea, center into your senses. As yourself the Magic Hour sensory questions:

  • What do I hear?
  • What do I see?
  • What do I feel?
  • What do I smell?
  • What do I taste?

Then sip your tea with newfound presence.

Presence is where heaven is found. We want you to find your heaven on a daily basis!
