What's an 'ECO' Tea?

Eco comes from the Greek word oikos which means home. Ecology is the study of the home. Economy is the management of the home. At Eco Teas we like to think of home on three levels: the body the household and planet. That's why an Eco Tea is healthy affordable and sustainable.

The Eco Teas Story

We started Eco Teas in the year 2000 in the kitchen of our house in Ashland Oregon. We came together as three best friends with a shared vision: to create a grassroots tea company that supports organic agriculture fair trade business practices and healthy living.

We work to bring you the highest quality teas at the best possible prices. In addition to providing green livelihoods for our farmers and ourselves we strive to inspire simple healthy sustainable lifestyles.

We plants thousands of native trees on our partner farm each year to create shade enhance biodiversity and diversity the local economy.

Our one-of-a-kind yerba has vital aroma and a light clean taste. It is dried with warm air instead of the usual smoke then aged for at least nine months. Finally we remove the stems and powder to achieve a pure-leaf product of exceptional quality and potency.
