Your morning looks much like ours! 🙌🍵. Thanks for sharing Oh Natural.

A little bit of Matcha goodness from Silk Tea to start the day! If you haven't heard of Silk Tea before, let us introduce you 🍵 Silk Tea is a beautiful tea brand from NZ that was set-up to offer authentic tea flavours from Asia. Their range of Organic Milky Oolong, Hojicha, GABA Oolong, and Matcha are rich in nutrients and neurotransmitter support (that means the stuff in these teas help you feel calm, clear and happy!) and taste super authentic.

If you are a tea fan, this is a brand you will love! Grab a pouch and taste the goodness 💚💚 https://ohnatural.co.nz/product-category/brands/silk-road-tea/

Silk Tea has been doing some exploration in India and Taiwan as of late that has led to some radio silence in the social-sphere... Despite going strong in the real world, we realize that our online persona has all but died in the process! So here is the latest.

Pictured beside Jono of Silk Tea is THE Ramesh Babu. Ramesh operates an organic tea plantation in India's revered Kotagiri Hills. You will notice from the picture that wild shrubs and trees grow as they please throughout his tea. This ensures the local bison, elephant, deer and leopard can continue to have their home while Ramesh can continue to pick his tea.

Ramesh is pointing to damage caused by elephants as they make their way to a watering hole on the edge of his plantation - rather than expressing annoyance, Ramesh was expressing pride in the fact that such beautiful animals walk among his tea...

UPDATE: Silk Tea spent four days in Wellywood last week on the war path for new stockists. After sharing a cup of tea with store owners and cafe managers we have 3 new stockists - and our first cafe serving all of our leaf teas!

REALITY UPDATE: while all very exciting the reality is that we visited 24 cafes / stores - we received 20 no's for 4 yes's.

Our Organic Latte Grade Matcha is grown in Nishio, Japan by Mr and Mrs Honda. The leaves are Samidori cultivar and picked in spring, the first harvesting season of the year which produces the best leaves. Nishio is a famous Matcha producing region that has been providing premium quality Matcha for hundreds of years.

The seasons are changing and so are we (as some of you may have noticed)! With our new name and some sleek design work we barely feel ourselves. Credit to our illustrator Benjamin Cotter Dephoff who designed the teapot on the front of our packets. We hope you like our new look!

Keep an eye out for our new leaf tea... Organic Milky Oolong. Aromatic and pure, it has notes of milk, honey and orchid.
