About the Brand

The Stash Tea Company is 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 enjoying steady growth and has become 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 foreign countries.

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.

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. Centuries of tea blending experience go into the creation of this original blend of Stash Premium YMY 1690 Special Occasion Green Tea, including Matcha the Powdered Leaf Tea used in the traditional Japanese Tea ceremony. This tea has a pale golden color in the cup and a delicate flavor with a hint of sweetness. The story behind Yamamoto teas: In 1690, Japan was ruled by the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Manchus had repelled the Mongols, Louis XIV ruled in Splendor from his new palace in Versailles, Czar Peter had just attained the throne and Johann Sebastian Bach was five years old. That same year in Japan, the Yamamoto family began producing premium teas, a tradition that continues to this day. More than three centuries of experience go into the selection and processing of Yamamotoyama Teas, among the finest in the world. 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.

These tea bags by Stash, special occasion green tea, are pretty darn good as far as green tea bags go. They have a definate green tea flavor, and are not a wishy-washy green tea wanna be. They are about as good as brewing a Japanese loose green tea leaf yourself, but without the hassle. Great for your everyday fix.

This Special occasion green tea that Stash Tea sells is made by a 200 year old Japanese tea Co. called Yamamotoyama.I've been drinking this tea for over ten years and, in my opinion,it is a superb green tea.It has a mild,slightly astringent taste that I think is great.But please don't brew it for more than 3 minutes to achieve the optimum flavor.I highly recommend this tea.
