We are a small artisan tea company that provides handcrafted herbal teas and herbal products from wild herbs ethically and sustainably grown or wildcrafted. Our 3 guiding principles:
#1
Do no harm
Plants are wild-harvested or grown in a fashion to be as close to natural growing conditions as possible as wild plants usually offer the most benefit. Unclear sourcing is a tremendous concern these days as too often herbs are harvested from places without clear ownership and without clear permission, often resulting in harm to wild plant stands. Many plants like white sage are now endangered in the wild.
Simple Teas and Herbals does not make teas/products from endangered wild plants--we don't buy endangered plants and we don't sell them.
#2
Promote conservation of wild plants & wild spaces
We promote through education and advocacy and seek partnerships with those who leave space for Mother Nature to manage without human intervention. Walking lightly upon this earth is more than a core value--it is how we practice business, from sourcing to production to packaging.
#3
Honor plant spirit
We believe that plants have energy--and spirit--and that all living things do. Indigenous practices throughout millennia have honored the plant in the process of harvest. Biodynamic growing, pioneered by Rudolf Steiner, who understood this, does the same. We support both traditions and honor not only the physical plant but also the spiritual dimensions that are part of the environment and the plant itself.

No chemicals
Harvested wild or cultivated plants come from areas that are not chemically treated or adulterated or treated with synthetic fertilizer or herbicides and not adjacent to environments treated with synthetic fertilizers or herbicides
Supporting organizations that do good work to protect birds, pollinators, & endangered medicinal plants
As we grow, 10% of net profits annually will go to 501(c)3 organizations that support protection for pollinators, endangered medicinal plants and wild bird habitat. We are a business member of United Plant Savers. Check them out and support them!
Fair payment to suppliers
Small farms that follow and promote biodynamic/regenerative agricultural practices and ethical wildcrafters help with the web of life. They should be supported in this process.
Biodiversity and wildness should be promoted everywhere
