About Us

 Who We Are: Oma Herbal Teas is a small, family owned business that grows medicinal herbs, primarily for our unique tea blends. We grow, dry, and package all of the herbs on our family’s one acre homestead in Schwenksville, PA. Our goal is to share the restorative power of herbs with the local community by providing those of the highest quality. 

Our Practices: Our deep respect for the earth and big picture understanding of our place in it is the driving force behind our holistic farming practices. We are Certified Naturally Grown, which is a peer certification that is more practical for small growers. We are held to the same standards as organic growers. Our practices include no synthetic chemical sprays, crop rotation, planting to attract beneficials, and no till methods. Our recyclable paperboard tube packaging, 100% recycled plastic mailers, zero waste shipping labels, and compostable sampler bags are some examples of how we are always striving for sustainability in our business practices.

Our herbs: We grow, harvest, and dry our herbs on a small scale for maximum nutrient retention.  Many larger commercial tea producers dry their herbs at a high temperature for faster drying. At these temperatures many of the flavorful and medicinal essential oils are lost. On top of that, most commercial producers crush their herbs before packaging, prematurely releasing the aromatics and leaving the tea with a lackluster flavor. Our herbs are dried below 110 degrees in small batches and kept as whole as possible in order to preserve biochemical compounds.

We give back: We donate 10% of sales from our Baby Bump Tea to the Fistula Foundation to support their mission.
