In Hawaii it is common to use the Hawaiian word “ONO” to mean good, delicious, or flavorful. “MEA” refers to a place or thing. We use this name not only to identify our big island location but in describing the quality of our tea. Onomea Tea Company sits just above Onomea Bay on the scenic Hamakua coast of Hawaii Island. Stunningly beautiful, abundant rain with rich volcanic soils, it is ideal for making good, flavorful whole leaf Hawaii teas.
