Stashtea was founded in 1972 in Portland, operating out of an old, Victorian style house. It started by supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. By 1975 the company had broadened its ambit to include bagged teas and started to sell a full ensemble of traditional, specialty blend, and herbal teas directly to premium restaurants and to customers through a mail order catalog. At present, Stashtea is headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, which is a suburb of Portland. Stashtea at present is one of the largest specialty tea companies in the USA, with products available via foodservice, grocery stores, tea and coffee shops, club stores, mass merchandisers, natural food stores, mail order and online.
