About Tazo Tea

Tazo Tea is a brand of tea now owned by Unilever. Tazo was originally best known for being stocked in Starbucks coffee shops. In 2004, Tazo was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Starbucks Corporation.[1] In November of 2017, Starbucks announced it was selling the brand to Unilever.[3]

Tazo sells teabag teas, loose teas, and bottled teas. In 2009, Tazo began moving away from traditional tea bags and towards pyramid sachets, and began using more whole tea leaves in these sachets.[2] Tazo uses a non-standard terminology in their marketing and on their website; traditional tea bags are called filterbags and the sachets are labelled full leaf tea or full leaf sachets.

Online, Tazo teas used to be able to be purchased through the Starbucks Store, before it was discontinued.
The online selection included exclusive blends, such as Tazo English Breakfast, which was available through this online store and not in Starbucks or other shops.

Tazo is a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership.

Here's the most-rated Tazo product on RateTea, but haven't yet rated here for unknown reasons. So...this is that, since I snagged some at a hotel.

The blend brews up a dense magenta hue quite quickly, presumably from the added elderberry extract ("for color" on the ingredients label). Dry-bag aroma is generically ...

Another "conference tea" here...I had a couple bags there, and brought another home to steep in boiling well water. Water quality at the meeting was good, so my impressions were consistent in both places.

The best part of this tea was its dry-bag smell: potent, high-quality bergamot, but still not too much to ove...

My first in-person conference this decade yielded a few new teas to try and to rate. This was one. As always with such "freebies", value is based on the online and/or local store price.

This is a tea I would call "socially awkward" if it were a human. It hides quietly in the corner when you expect a meaningful i...

Aroma: The spice is there. It’s a bit muddy but you know this is a spiced tea very easily.

Flavor: Prepared as the box states but there isn’t much here. A bit of a spiced water but ...
