At Cultivate Taste we do not use flavorings, candy, or sugar in our teas. We source direct, blend, and sell international award winning handcrafted and single origin loose leaf teas online, farmer's markets, our tea salon, and wholesale. We strive to source organic and fair-trade teas whenever possible directly from the farms across China, Japan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos, Taiwan, and India. When we blend, we use high grade organic and fair-trade ingredients to enhance a tea not to mask it because we want you to enjoy and develop your palate, while feeling good that you are drinking something healthy too. We also have eco-friendly packaging and transiting to compostable packaging.
