The tea farm is located in a pristine area in the northern mountainous region of Sicily, and distinguishes itself via its natural approach to cultivation and years of experience growing Mediterranean herbs. The father and son work together in operating this herbal farm according to high organic standards. Northern Sicily offers ideal conditions for this endeavor: an ideal terroir with hot summers and short, wet winters as well as mineral-rich and volcanic soil. The air is especially clear and free from pesticides and contamination from industry.

Herbal teas have been one of the most important applications of traditional herbalism for hundreds of years. Hot water helps release the valuable ingredients so that they can be easily absorbed by the body. Each herb represents a unique complex of active ingredients, sometimes combining hundreds of individual compounds. We select only the highest quality herbs from the best terroirs around the world, either from certified organic cultivation or wildcrafting. Our farms are often small, passionate family-run businesses with a long history of cultivating and processing the highest quality herbs and wild plants.
Our comprehensive portfolio focuses on organic, single-origin teas sourced directly from renowned farms. We believe in creating partnerships with farmers who share our values and are committed to sustainable, responsible tea cultivation. Thanks to these strong relationships our exciting range is constantly growing and evolving. As an international team of dedicated and passionate tea experts, we are committed to preserving centuries-old tea culture while ensuring it remains relevant and continues to bring joy in the present. About Yoshi En.
To ensure the most gentle and environmentally friendly farming possible, the harvest and production processes are completed entirely by hand without the use of machinery. As a result of the mild climate, the herbs are open air-dried directly after harvest.
1-2 heaped tsp tea per 200-300ml boiling water. Steep for 5-8 minutes.
High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.
The ideal teapot for thyme tea is a large glass or porcelain teapot with a strainer.
Ideally store in an airtight, double-coated metal tin.
We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
