Why Regenerative Organic Certified?
A new standard in farming — one that gives back more than it takes. Every Steaz x Wild Orchard tea begins with soil restored, farmers empowered, and ecosystems revived.
Being Regenerative Organic Certified® means going beyond “doing less harm.” It’s about creating a net-positive impact on the planet — rebuilding soil health, restoring biodiversity, and ensuring every person in the process thrives.
The Regenerative Organic Alliance certifies farms through three interconnected standards:
- Fair Farming — Farmers are respected, paid fairly, and supported with safe, dignified work.
- Healthy Soil — Natural composting, cover crops, and biodiversity restore carbon to the ground — improving resilience and flavor.
- Animal Welfare — Harmony with nature means protecting every part of the ecosystem, from pollinators to grazing animals.
Every Regenerative Organic Certified farm must meet — and maintain — these uncompromising standards, verified through transparent and rigorous audits.
Tea is only as pure as the soil it grows in.
On Jeju Island, the Wild Orchard team has turned their single-source 1,000-acre farm into a living example of what’s possible — the first tea farm in the world to achieve Regenerative Organic Certification®.
The result?
A richer ecosystem, cleaner water, and tea leaves that express the natural vitality of their origin — the taste of regeneration.
