What makes a good cup of tea?

A good cup of tea is a long process. It begins in tea estates in China, India, Africa and South America and ends in your own kitchen. Cured tea leaves travel throughout the world and are steeped in kitchens of restaurants, coffee houses, and families like ours.

A great tasting cup of tea starts with quality plants in ideal growing climates. It continues with the workers who harvest the leaves at just the right moment. The tea is then cured through a wide variety of methods, including heating, drying and milling. Flavor may be added with herbs, fruits and plants. Finally, your cup is steeped in your kitchen at the right temperature for the right length of time.

A good cup of tea is an individual taste. It's not finished until you complete the process. You may choose to complete your cup with an accompaniment of milk, cream, sugar, lemon or honey.

What makes a great cup of tea?

We believe that enjoying a cup of tea is a good experience. A great experience is when you enjoy that cup knowing that it was prepared in an environmentally friendly, socially ethical, and personally rewarding experience.

Kungaloosh was founded with that great cup of tea in mind.

Eco-friendly: Kungaloosh is a minimalist company. We use the absolute minimum in terms of packaging, and constantly try to improve to give our customers a great experience without damaging the earth in the process. We focus on reducing consumption, recycling, and using replenishable resources.

Socially conscious: The highest quality teas grow in some of the world's poorest nations. You can buy tea from Kungaloosh knowing that the workers and their families received fair wages, had excellent working conditions, and that no child labor was used.

Your personal cup: The final step in a great tea drinking experience happens in your kitchen. We know that tea is more than a beverage to many.

Kungaloosh is here to help make your cup personally rewarding. First, you'll know that the beverage you enjoy every morning or every evening is doing something positive for the environment and for the people who helped bring you that cup.

Our website will help you choose a type of tea to match your taste. You'll find tips on brewing, recipes, and tea drinking traditions from around the globe. We hope you'll be able to find your own perfect cup.

We encourage you to read throughout our website for more information about how we grew our company based on these qualities and values that make a cup of tea great.

Update from Japan

We are happy to report that the areas where our Japanese tea is grown were not directly affected by the tragic events in March. The earthquake and deadly tsunami that followed will have an impact on the entire country of Japan, likely for decades to come.

Kungaloosh will make a $2.00 donation to the Red Cross on behalf of its customers for every bag of tea sold that originates in Japan for the remainder of 2011.

Shizuoka Japanese Sencha Green Tea

We have chosen the Red Cross because of their responsiveness in global crises. Within 24 hours, they had already deployed over 700 medical professionals into the most needed regions. If you would like to donate additional money to the Red Cross, please visit their website at www.redcross.org.

Tea is Earth Friendly

Growing tea is eco-friendly by nature. In fact, tea is one of the few industries that can have a positive effect on the environment.

The Tea bush, known by the scientific name, Camellia sinensis, produces leaves which are cured.

Tea plants grow and produce for up to 50 years. These robust plants absorb massive amounts of carbon dioxide. In fact, many tea estates absorb more carbon than the manufacturing process emits.

Social Consciousness

Tea plantations, known as estates, consist of hundreds or perhaps thousands of plants producing tea all year round. These plantations are often not only the workplace, but also the home and village of the families that harvest and cure them.

Kungaloosh purchases teas from growers who participate in the Ethical Tea Partnership. This organization audits and advises estates on the impact of fair labor and fair trade.

Many of the estates in the program go above and beyond the minimum requirements. Often they provide healthcare clinics, schools, and child care for their employees. The estate becomes more than a workplace, it becomes a community.
