Organic Tea
At JING, organic isn't a label, it's a commitment. We champion sustainable, chemical-free farming because it protects the land, the people who tend it, and the integrity of every leaf. From certified organic herbal teas and delicate white teas to our range of single origin black teas, many of our gardens follow organic principles without formal certification, a complexity we believe is worth understanding, and always worth the cup.
Organic Tea Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes a tea organic?
An organic tea is grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilisers, and certified as such by an accredited body. It's as much about how the garden is farmed as what ends up in your cup. For a fuller explanation of what the label actually guarantees, see our journal piece what is organic tea? -
Is organic tea worth it?
Organic tea is worth considering if you care about how your tea is farmed, free from synthetic chemical inputs, with often greater attention paid to soil health and biodiversity. Whether it tastes "better" comes down to the individual garden rather than the organic label alone. We cover the different organic styles and standards in types of organic tea. -
Is loose leaf tea usually organic?
Not automatically, loose leaf simply means whole, unbroken leaves, which is separate from how the tea was farmed. Many loose leaf gardens do follow organic practices, but certification has to be earned and verified independently. Our guide to loose leaf tea explains what to look for, and you can browse our full loose leaf range across every category. -
How do I know if a tea is certified organic?
Look for certification from a recognised body, such as the Soil Association or an equivalent international standard, rather than taking the word "organic" at face value. Reputable growers will hold and disclose this certification. You'll find organic options across styles, from green tea to herbal tea, each following the same standards.
