“What Starbucks did for coffee, craft brewers did for beer and artisanal vintners did for wine, Mr. Smith did for tea.”
“His passion for crafting perfectly balanced teas lives on in the aromatic, heady offering his team creates to this day.”
“He was the finest creator of tea blends I’ve known”
A caffeine-free blend of golden Egyptian chamomile flowers and mildly stimulating, fragrant hyssop joined with smooth Cape rooibos, rose petals and linden flowers. You may need a sun hat.
Ingredients: Egyptian chamomile, South African rooibos, fragrant hyssop, linden flowers, lemon myrtle, rose petals, safflower, cyani flowers and natural flavors.
Numerology: No. 67: The famous Summer of Love (also a great year for the Chevy Camaro)
It's no secret that the world's best peppermint comes from the Pacific Northwest. Gently hand-screened for perfect leaf size, it infuses a full, creamy flavor with distinct chocolate notes and an intense finish. A great after dinner treat or midday breath freshener. Caffeine free.
Ingredients: Peppermint leaves from the Pacific Northwest.
Numerology: No. 45: The “Peppermint Twist” released on 45 vinyl in 1961.
A delicious, caffeine-free infusion of rooibos, also known as red bush, from Clanwilliam in South Africa, paired with succulent honeybush and a bit of natural orchard fruit flavor. Lightly sweet, medium-bodied and highly quaffable, hot or chilled. Holds up well to milk or cream, as in a Cederberg Coconut Cappuccino.
Ingredients: Rooibos and honeybush from South Africa and natural fruit flavors.
Numerology: No. 13: This tea defies the odds
Quietly humorous and charismatic, with a slight smile and twinkle in his eye, Steve got his first taste of the world's second-most-consumed beverage as a kid at his grandmother's house in Portland, Oregon. After high school and Vietnam, he got into natural foods and co-founded Stash, the world's first specialty tea company. From Stash, he became the wizard of Tazo — "the reincarnation of tea" — and made more waves with a mind-blowing mix of Merlin the Magician meets Marco Polo. After selling the company to Starbucks, Steve found himself in the mood for retirement. So he moved his young family to France.
BEFORE TOO LONG, HE HAD ANOTHER A-HA MOMENT
Enchanted by the friendships he enjoyed with his neighborhood chocolatier, baker and perfumier in Avignon, he emailed his old creative team:
"I have an idea for another tea company. But this time, we’re going to do it small, buy only the best tea on the market and blend it with total transparency in our hometown of Portland, Oregon.” And so, after "a year of scarves and 2-hour lunches," he moved home and once again picked up his favorite tasting spoon — a big-bellied, sterling silver antique found in a stall in Tinsukia, Assam. Steve's vision was haute tea couture. Extra-small-is-beautiful. And with characteristic humility, he rejected the title of tea master, and chose to be simply “teamaker”.
Which is how, in 2009, the signature blends of Steven Smith Teamaker were born in a Northwest Portland blacksmith's shop.
Discerningly
Smith turned me into a tea drinker
“Flavorful, thoughtful tea, The tea bag is even designed in a way to optimize steeping. My favorite tea on the market, far superior to Tazo, Teavana, etc. delicious, simple tea, with a focus on flavor.”
Rhonda Davis
BEST TEA in the WHOLE WORLD!
“Pure heavenly flavor, aroma, and easy on the palate. As I said, this is my favorite. I will be buying more, and more, and probably more.”
Jonna
These teas are the best I have ever found.
“I discovered I must have English genes because these teas made me quit coffee altogether!”
