About Smith Teamaker
Smith Teamaker is a Portland, Oregon, blender started in 2009 by Steven Smith, who earlier helped found Stash and Tazo, and his wife Kim. It runs two Portland tasting rooms (110 SE Washington St. and 500 NW 23rd Ave.), a counter at PDX past security, and two in Japan: Shibuya Scramble Square in Tokyo and NEWoMan Yokohama.
The range is mostly full-leaf sachets and loose blends, with a smaller line of single-origin Darjeeling and Yunnan pu-erh cakes. Lord Bergamot, its Earl Grey, is the default first order. If you want straight tea, buy the 2nd Flush Darjeeling.
