THE ORIGINAL
ORGANIC TEA COMPANY
Since 1989, Choice Organic Teas have crafted delicious organic teas made by a team of tea lovers committed to a healthy community and planet.
Their story begins in 1980 when the parent company, Granum Inc, started selling organic macrobiotic ingredients, including Japanese tea, to natural food stores across the country. Discovering that organic tea was missing in the natural foods market, they began selling imported teas under the Choice Organic Teas brand, making them the first exclusively organic tea company in the U.S. Later, they purchased their first tea packing machine and expanded the offerings.
As pioneers in the industry, Choice Organic Teas are the first tea crafter in the United States to produce exclusively organic, Fair Trade Certified™, and Non-GMO Project Verified teas. From classic teas and blends to sophisticated new brews that offer a twist on tradition, they are dedicated to creating delicious organic teas. Based in Seattle, Washington, they are one of the few tea companies that packages teas in the U.S, offering more than 80 varieties of teas, herbs, and blends that honor people and the planet in every cup.
