About Us
Maunamoku is the mover of mountains, a giant slayer of ancient lore. There is a story, in the Eastern Rockies, of this ancient king who defeated a great evil, bringing forth an epoch of peace.
Our name was born in a part of the Americas that has been continuously occupied for over 12,000 years. The age of the myth, from which we derive our name, is unknown.
Tea is a slayer of evil, a purger of poison, it brings us to this contentment. In it is the embodiment of life; created by a coalition of small families, nature, and tradition.
These are the principles we adhere to as a company, and our goal is to source the finest tea in the world, grown alongside nature, harvested and processed by family producers, using the ancient, traditional methods, by hand, never with chemicals.
Our tea is sourced directly from small family farms in China and Taiwan, and stored in Fort Collins, Colorado, at an elevation of 1,550 meters. We are passionate about ecological preservation, and only carry tea that was grown biodynamically, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
We are oolong specialists; our farmers have been doing this for generations. In addition to oolong, our farmers also make a small amount of white and black tea, which we occasionally carry.
We look forward to sharing our tea with you.
