About Good Earth

Good Earth began in 1972 as the Fmali Herb Company in Santa Cruz, California, one of the first American herbal tea companies. In the late 1970s it created the house teas for the Good Earth restaurants, and its sweet-and-spicy blend grew into one of the original American botanical-tea brands, built around bold, layered, aromatic flavour rather than British restraint. The signature Sweet and Spicy, with its cinnamon, citrus peel and liquorice, still carries a genuine cult following on both sides of the Atlantic, the kind of tea people ration and reorder. That restaurant connection explains the whole character: these are teas made to be noticed rather than to fade into the background.

Good Earth is now part of Tata Consumer Products, the group behind Tetley and Teapigs, and the range leans hard into that heritage with assertive herbal, green, black and rooibos blends built around real spices and fruit. For our shelf Good Earth is the brand to reach for when a customer wants a herbal or spiced cup with actual presence. The blends are punchy and aromatic, the caffeine-free options have real character rather than being apologetic, and the original Sweet and Spicy is one of the most memorable cups we sell at any price. It is not trying to be a delicate single estate; it is trying to be the cup you remember, and on that it delivers.

Key facts

1972 California Origins Started in 1972 as the Fmali Herb Company in Santa Cruz, California, part of the early-1970s natural-foods movement on the US west coast.

Iconic Sweet and Spicy Blend The original Sweet and Spicy blend is the tea that made the Good Earth name, and it is still the one the brand is best known for.

Real-Botanical Blending Every Good Earth blend uses real botanicals rather than synthetic flavour shortcuts: real chamomile flowers, real hibiscus petals, real rose petals, real ginger root, real lemon peel.
