Anthony “Tony” Tellin is a master tea blender and innovator in the tea and botanical infusion industry having spent 17 years at the side of Steven Smith. His unique blends and offerings are hand-crafted in a small tea shop he has built next to his home in Oregon.

Each tea is made in small batches and packed as loose, full leaf in small bags with customized labels providing sourcing details and tasting notes. These are then packed inside a small kraft tray with a red ribbon pull, and covered with a sleeve, also labeled, for retail presentation. Everything is done by hand. Every carton and blend a labor of love from a well-learned and uniquely experienced individual.

Tony’s original plan was to be able to spend more time with his two young sons and wife, while doing something he loves, and can hopefully pass on to the next generation. His teas are being offered in very select retail and he makes special blends for chefs and restaurants as well.
