FAQ

What is Growing Karma?
Growing-Karma is the first commercial tea plantation in Germany. We cultivate the tea plant Camellia sinensis under sustainable conditions and produce high-quality tea – embedded in a permaculture system that also produces other products.
What does “permaculture” mean for Growing Karma?
For us, permaculture means a sustainable farming system that works in harmony with nature. Our plantation is designed to produce not only tea but also other valuable products such as fruit, herbs, and honey, without harming the environment.
Where do the tea plants come from?
All of our tea plants are grown from seed. These come from the Himalayas, Nepal, cool regions of China, Korea, and other regions and farms in Europe. They are specially adapted to the German climate. They have been carefully selected and bred to produce the finest tea even under our conditions.
What types of tea does Growing-Karma produce?
Our passion is matcha. For us, it represents one of the best ways to enjoy Camellia sinensis. But we also plan to produce green tea, black tea, oolong tea, silver needle tea, and other specialties. We also plan to produce infusion teas—herbs and fruits from our permaculture combined with Camellia sinensis. All teas are harvested by hand and carefully processed to ensure the highest quality.
