Product Description

The Stash Tea Company is headquartered in Portland, Oregon. Founded in 1972, 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 still is used to denote anything put away carefully because of its preciousness. Stash Premium Fusion Green and White Tea begins with mutan white (or white peony), which is made from the leaves of the "sai bai" or "big white" bush, and mixed with buds from the "shui hsien" or "water sprite" tea plant. The leaves have silver tips, and are predominantly greenish-brown in color and very flat. The buds are lustrous, soft and silvery. This white tea is blended with sencha green tea from Japan, osmanthus green tea from China, Assam green tea from India, Darjeeling green tea from India, and organic green tea from Sri Lanka. The resulting tea is pale gold in the cup and has a uniquely delicate and smooth flavor. Stash Tea has been committed to providing premium quality teas and an unsurpassed tea drinking experience. Stash begins with simply excellent tea leaves from the world's premier tea gardens and all natural botanical ingredients gathered from around the world. Meticulous blending and tasting of every tea ensures you will enjoy full flavor in every cup.

Both my best friend and I LOVE this tea. Embarrassingly, we are quasi-tea snobs each in our own way. We have tried all forms, brands, etc including the very pricey varieties, and we agreed that for a white/green blend this is perfect. It is not too mild or smooth, nor is it too astringent or bitter. It is a nice golden color with a tempting, soothing aroma. It has good mouth feel - light but not too light. It is very good plain or with some honey.

It contains white, green blend (Chinese, Japanese, Darjeeling and Assam from India, and organic green from Sri Lanka). It is really a very nice tea. Please note that of the teas that are blended into each sachet, only one is organic.

The Stash Tea Company was founded in 1972, in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland, and was originally operated out of a Victorian-style house. But, right from the beginning the company focused on making only premium teas. That commitment to quality has propelled Stash Tea to the position of one of America's largest tea companies.

Among Stash Tea's many infusions is Fusion Green & White Tea. This wonderful tea is a mix of white tea with Japanese green, Chinese green, Assam green, Darjeeling green, and organic green teas. Sounds interesting, no? In fact, this infusion has a subtle scent, and a remarkably smooth taste, with NO bitter aftertaste. Plus, it is chock full of the beneficial antioxidants that everyone is talking about.

I have tried this tea hot and iced, and I love it both ways - yep, I have a new favorite! So, if you are looking for a healthy tea, one that tastes great both hot and iced, then this is the tea for you. I highly recommend this tea to all my fellow tea-drinkers!
