Cup of Kindness
$6.00
By popular demand, we're excited to introduce our newest Hawai’i-grown herbal tea, featuring our farm’s māmaki (the medicinal Hawaiian plant), alongside our lemongrass, roselle hibiscus, and Kona-grown lavender. We're calling it Cup of Kindness, and who couldn't use some of that these days? To spread the kindness even more, we're donating 10% of proceeds from this tea to the houseless folks of Hawai'i and their pets!
With sweet-tart notes of lemon and cranberry on the front of the pallet and the modest mingling of māmaki’s mellow earthiness with a subtle finish of lavender on the back, Cup of Kindness is the kind of herbal tea you can enjoy in all weathers. Served hot, the natural sweetness of the lemongrass rises to the surface, and with a touch of honey, the fruity floral notes will sit even rounder on the pallet. Served iced, however, this tea transforms into a refreshing fruity melange that’s sure to take the edge off of a hot summer’s day.

$11.50 $14.00
Grow your own tea plants at home with our Hawai'i-grown tea seeds! Harvested directly from our tea fields, these organic-practice seeds are ready for sowing. Tea plants are hardy to USDA zones 7-9, However, in our opinion, for plants to thrive its best to grow in annual minimum temperature above 28-32 degrees Fahrenheit. If you're in a colder climate zone, be sure to keep your plants safe from cold snaps below 32 degrees Fahrenheit by bringing them inside during the winter, heavily mulching, and/or consult a growing guide before planting.
Package includes 10 seeds, and if you're lucky, you may find some extra aloha (some bonus seeds!)

Testimonials
I have been drinking ancient leaf ceremonial Matcha since 2005. My day is not complete without starting my morning off with matcha. I enjoy mine with some frothed vanilla unsweetened almond milk on top or with honey.. As a physician, I have recommended it to numerous patients over the last 15 years and have seen countless health benefits in both my patients and myself. Benefits may include increased metabolism, more energy, better mood, improved memory and concentration, and decreased risk of cancer. As with anything, each individual may have a different experience. Patients over the years have seen improvement in their blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and blood pressure. As with anything, please consult with your doctor before trying Matcha but this doc loves it!!

I was so excited when I heard Ancient Leaf was producing their first 100% Hawaiian grown white tea. The moment I opened the package & smelled and saw the leaves I knew I would love it. The leaves were beautiful and their aroma was fresh & light. After steeping the leaves the aroma only increased and the color was beautiful. I got several steeps from the leaves and while the color got richer looking the taste stayed fresh & light. Ki Kea Ono definitely lives up to it's name.; it is the best white tea available. Treat yourself to a great tea today.

I have been using matcha daily for a couple of years now and can’t live without it! It is such a huge part of my daily routine and wellness program. Recently I ran out of matcha and once I realized, it was a mad dash to Ancient Leaf for a quick order with an extra bag for back-up! Now I subscribe to receive it on a schedule so I never have to worry again, my matcha is always covered! Love this! Thank you for a great product and amazing support!
