Size:1000 Count (Pack of 1) Founded in 1972, Stash Tea Company originally
operated out of an old Portland Victorian style house, supplying loose herbal
teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1975, the company
broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line
of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants
and through a mail order catalog to consumers. Today, Stash Tea Company is one
of the largest specialty tea companies in the United States. The company
derives its name from an entertaining aspect of tea folklore. In earlier
centuries, tea was a valuable commodity traditionally transported by clipper
ship. The ship’s captain often was presented with some of the finest teas for
his personal use. This supply was his “stash,” stowed carefully as his
“private reserve.” Today, the term is still used to denote anything put away
carefully because of its preciousness.
