What is ART OF TEA?
Founded in 2004, ART OF TEA is a premier organic tea brand from Los Angeles, California. Their teas are hand-blended from carefully selected organic tea leaves and botanicals from around the world and have won numerous awards at the World Tea Expo. Founder Steve Schwartz is known for his study of botanicals through Ayurveda and his many creative blends, as well as for being the first to establish a new type of “dessert tea” in addition to wellness teas in California, where health consciousness is strong and a new food culture is emerging.
