Steven Smith has spent nearly 40 years in the tea business. A co-founder of Stash Tea Company in 1972, he and two partners introduced herbal and specialty black teas to retail and food service accounts throughout North America, eventually growing to become one of the largest-selling food service specialty tea brands in America.
Smith, in collaboration with creative partners developed Tazo Tea Company, a brand that blended the history and myth of tea cultures throughout time with a unique sense of humor. Smith, using the finest ingredients available, sourced through trusted suppliers from around the globe created teas of quality unlike anything consumers had tasted.
Enlisting the help of his wife Kim and former creative partners and friends, Smith began shaping what would become Steven Smith Teamaker, launching a line of 12 teas in January of 2010.
