We take our responsibility to provide safe, wholesome organic herbs, spices and teas extremely seriously— it’s our #1 priority. Insuring safety is a multi-step process, starting with communicating and working closely with suppliers that share our rigorous commitment to quality control. We visit our grower partners around the world, inspecting fields to processing facilities. No product is considered for use until the HQO team has thoroughly sampled and tested every lot of product. This includes thorough chemical and microbiological analysis by certified laboratories recognized as leaders in their fields. Processing is conducted according to strict procedures that ensure that all products are of the highest quality. This is how we are able to bring you the best in organic herbal teas, all-natural spices and custom herb blends.
