Stash Tea Company is a privately-held tea company headquartered in Tigard, Oregon, a suburb of Portland. Stash Tea originally operated out of an old Portland Victorian style house, supplying loose herbal teas and bulk herbs to natural food stores. Starting in 1972, the company broadened its focus to include bagged teas and then began to sell a full line of traditional, specialty blend and herbal teas directly to fine restaurants and through a mail order catalog to consumers.[1]

In 1993, Stash was acquired by Yamamotoyama Tea Company.[2]

Today, Stash Tea is enjoying steady growth and has become one of the largest specialty tea companies in the United States, with products available through foodservice, grocery stores, tea and coffee shops, club stores, mass merchandisers, natural foods stores, mail order and the Internet. It has a mail order catalog with more than 200 teas.[3]
