Inspired by travels through China and Central Asia, Green Boar began as a love of excellent tea and tea culture. Drinking Green Boar Organic Tea is an exploration of taste and culture; whether you are drinking loose leaf tea or tea made with a tea bag. It was in the Tea Houses of Guangdong Province South China, in the ‘Chaikhanas’ (tea houses) of Samarkand, Bokhara and Khiva on the Silk Route, fro
m the samovars of the dusty Cossack Steppe of Southern Russia and it was high in the North West Frontier of Pakistan where Green Boar discovered tea, unlike any tea encountered before. Green Boar’s mission is to promote organic tea and tea culture in an ethical and sustainable manner. That’s why we always try and ship our tea on the ocean. That’s why we try and use recyclable materials. Because we prefer tea which has not been treated with synthetic insecticides and fertilisers, Green Boar imports and sells only certified organic tea from farms which have undergone rigorous scientific tests in China, Korea, Vietnam, India, Thailand and Taiwan. We can tell you from exactly which farm our teas come from.
