ASHEVILLE TEA COMPANY
About Asheville Tea Company
Asheville Tea Company blends teas and locally-sourced, seasonal botanicals so you can enjoy a lovely cuppa morning, noon and night. In partnering with local farmers and proprietors, Asheville Tea Company blends clean and sustainably-grown herbs, botanicals and small batch artisanal offerings to
bring the full flavors of Asheville into each of our handcrafted teas. Our favorite part of local-sourcing is that it allows us to be creative in providing seasonal, fresh, unique and flavorful teas and tisanes.
Some examples of our local farm-grown ingredients include hibiscus (roselle), ginger, turmeric, mint, basil, rosemary, chamomile, calendula, tulsi, anise hyssop, echinacea, elderflower, elderberry, sumac, blackberry leaf and lemongrass.

COMMENTS ABOUT THE PRODUCTS WE NEED
Please reach out to us by email at [email protected] for a full list of herbs and botanicals we are in search of. We are also inspired by new local flavors and create custom and seasonal blends based on what we find, so we're interested in learning what is out there that might make a great tea blend. We're also actively searching for local camellia sinensis (tea leaves) and yaupon.
