All
of Ineeka's 100% organic whole leaf teas are produced by means of biodynamic
agriculture on certified Fair Trade farms. [The teas are certified 100% organic
by CCOF as per USDA NOP and IFOAM International standards; the farms are certified
by the Fair Trade Labeling Organization (FLO) and by Demeter (for biodynamic
agricultural practices).]
Ineeka owns these estates and is, in fact, the only specialty tea company in
North America that owns their own farms. These wholly sustainable, self
contained, biodynamic/Fair Trade practices not only create 15,000 acres of
self-sustaining farming communities but also support Ineekas farm
families--totaling 25,000 people (one of the largest self sustaining organic/
biodynamic communities in the world).
Ineeka teas are whole leaf teas (not the dust particles used in most tea
bags) picked by hand using only the top two leaves and the bud (the most
nutrient rich parts of the plant). No added flavors or oils are used in Ineeka
teas.
Artistry- Rich invigorating infusion with a floral finish. A potent
antioxidant- this healthy green tea leaves a lingering honey-like sweetness on
the palette.
