Dutch Harvest produces tea blends made from hemp that is grown on Dutch soil. They do not only prioritise making a sustainable product, but also want to emphasise the power of hemp as a highly sustainable, quickly growing and carbon absorbing plant. They describe the process of cultivating and harvesting the hemp, how the tea is packaged in a social workplace and blended with other organic spices on their website. Their products are entirely plastic free.
