Everything is free range until you put it on a farm. It's kind of like that old riddle - Q: what did we call organic farming before WWII? A: farming.
With tea, there's discussion of wild teas being superior. High mountain teas are more valued but personally I think that's because they're harder to get. There's monkey-picked teas - srsly - teas picked by trained monkeys because they come from mountain peaks too difficult for humans to get to easily - but those have come under fire because it's monkey abuse.
Plantations have become NPC because of their ties to colonialism and environmental disregard. Although you make a good point - this is the first time I've heard 'plantation free'. I guess deadheads grow this tea next to their wild monkey-picked pot grows?
