Herbal Teas

Herbal teas have been one of the most important applications of traditional herbalism for hundreds of years. Hot water helps release the valuable ingredients so that they can be easily absorbed by the body. Each herb represents a unique complex of active ingredients, sometimes combining hundreds of individual compounds. We select only the highest quality herbs from the best terroirs around the world, either from certified organic cultivation or wildcrafting. Our farms are often small, passionate family-run businesses with a long history of cultivating and processing the highest quality herbs and wild plants.

Laboratory Tests

We go to great lengths to identify the finest organic tea farms across the world’s most celebrated terroirs. All our teas are sourced directly from the farmer and, with a few exceptions, are certified organic or come from pesticide-free farms. Each batch of tea for every harvest is tested for pesticides and other pollutants in an independent German lab to ensure they meet our strict quality standards as well as HACCP food safety requirements.

About Yoshi En.

Cultivation & Processing

The mountain herbs grow at elevations of 500-900m in the gently rolling foothills of the alps, far from industry and major highways. Herbs have flourished here since the 13th century, and have long been cultivated using traditional methods. The herbs grow in small fields according to organic standards and completely without the use of chemicals.

Cultivation is largely only possible by hand, and the harvest is performed in part by hand and in part with machinery. Due to the climatic conditions, irrigation is not necessary. Within 1-2 hours after harvest, the herbs are gently dried in a cabinet dryer at 40°C for 12-24 hours. Thereafter the herbs are roughly cut and packaged. The dried herbs are not sprayed, light-treated, or processed further.

The climatic conditions of the region strongly influence the quality of the herbs. The main factors affecting the growth of the herbs are the mild summers with cool nights and harsh winters, which are accompanied by consistent precipitation and humidity all year round. The careful selection of herbs, an advantageous location with granite soil, gentle processing, as well as strict standards all ensure that the produce from these farms is of top quality. The resulting herbs are incredibly rich in taste, nutritious, and contain a high concentration of essential oils as well as phytochemicals.
