Green Initiatives at Stash Tea

At Stash Tea, we are committed to renewable energy and purchase green power through our local electric utility, Portland General Electric. Since our inception in 1972, Stash Tea has sought to balance social and environmental responsibility with economic reality. This begins with careful selection of the tea estates from which we purchase our teas. Through the years, we have chosen to do business with estates of the highest quality and that treat their workers honestly and fairly.

We also sell Premium Organic Teas that meet our exacting flavor standards. All of these teas are 100 percent natural and USDA and QAI certified.

Locally, we reuse and recycle much of our office supplies, boxes, and packaging materials. In fact, we began using recycled paper for packing material in our mail order shipping department more than 12 years ago when bubble wrap and foam peanuts were still the industry standard.

We also recycle our printer cartridges, scrap paper and newspaper. In addition, we use recycled paper in our printing projects when possible.

Although a small company, Stash Tea is aware of our responsibility to the environment, both locally and globally, and strives to be a green, responsible, and socially conscious organization. We fulfill those corporate goals through our policies, actions, and standards.
