Steve Smith, Stephen Lee and Tom Mesher founded Tazo Tea in 1994. Using his corporate connections, Smith convinced many restaurants and teahouses to sell Tazo Tea. Tazo Tea Company is now a tea distributor and manufacturer based in Oregon. It is also a division of Starbucks, since 1999.

Tazo is made from the most exotic and different herbs and teas available in the world. The skill of blending is highly refined, and creates a new experience of drinking tea altogether. After all, the motto of Tazo is to reinvent the experience of tea, as well as the tea itself.

Tazo uses fresh and high quality ingredients to create a fresh tea infusion. The experience of the blenders is unmatched and their creativity knows no boundaries. This results in the creation of a deep emotional bond with the tea drinkers.

Tea blending is a subtle art. It is highly subjective in its measurement of taste and aroma. The blenders frequently taste the tea to ensure that only teas, which complement the flavor, go in the mix. Thus, the flavor is consistent and is always of the highest quality.

Tazo sells many varieties of teas. They sell black, green and herbal teas. Among the bottled teas, Tazo iced tea is extremely popular. In black tea, organic iced tea and iced tea with lemon is available. In green tea, you can have the organic iced green tea.

Tazo iced tea is also extremely flavorful. Every Tazo iced tea is refreshing. Besides, the organic iced tea is invigorating and fruity, while the iced tea with lemon is invigorating. The organic iced green tea is delicate and soothing with a pinch of mint.

Rather than creating entirely modern varieties of teas, Tazo introduces the drinkers with the ancient customs of tea. Tazo Tea presents this in an interesting fashion.
