The Stash Tea Company is a privately-held company headquartered in
Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. Founded in 1972, Stash Tea
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 is one of the largest specialty tea companies
in the United States, with products available through foodservice,
grocery stores, tea and coffee shops, club stores, mass merchandisers,
natural foods stores, mail order and the Internet. Stash Tea is also
available in Canada and in several other countries.
