I've posted a few times about the blends from For Tea's Sake and I thought it would be fun for you to learn a bit more about the company. I had the opportunity to ask Sarah, their social media marketing manager a little more about the company. I love her answers, especially about the versatility of tea <3
1) How was the name 'For Tea's Sake" chosen for the company?
A lot of our inspiration and ethos comes down to one simple moment. Enjoying a cup of tea. It’s such a simple concept, and we loved the play on words. (For Tea’s Sake!)
2) Do you all have a specific process for choosing your blends?
We do a ton of research on blends, food trends, and what’s emerging in major tea markets. From there we built out our three classifications (CORE, WELLNESS & ARTISAN). Everything we create comes back to these pillars so it’s a real foundation for us. We wanted to appeal to tea consumers at all levels and each of our classes allows us to do that.
CORE – for those know what they like, and expect certain standards for their tea.
WELLNESS – for those looking to focus on the healing and wellness benefits in tea, much more health-centric
ARTISAN – big for gift giving, moments, and occasions
We also source our tea’s from farms world-wide, ensuring everything we produce is natural (no artificial flavors), authentic, and pure. Quality is a big focus for us!
3) If you could have tea with anyone past or present who would it be and where?
We’d love to share a cup of tea with Thomas Edition. His passion for innovation and creation is simply unparalleled. His commitment to his craft is all kinds of inspiration.
4) How would you convince someone to switch from coffee to tea?
We’re a big believer in education, so for us a priority is always helping our customers understand what they are putting into their bodies. The most compelling part of tea drinking for us is the range of purposes it can have in your life, it’s so versatile. It can be consumed to give you a jump start to the day or it can help you unwind and relax for a cozy night in. Not to mention it’s the second most consumed beverage in the world! We’d definitely use our knowledge to educate coffee drinkers on why they might want to consider making tea a stronger part of their routine because of the different purposes it fulfills. That said, coffee drinkers are certainly stead-fast in their commitment, so a convert would be a big accomplishment!
5) What is your current favorite tea blend?
This is a tough one! One of our original blends that still delights us is SLEEP WELL. Some of us over here have becomes addicted to it nightly!!!
6) What is your favorite part about drinking tea?
As we mentioned, definitely a fan of the versatility but we’d also call out the health & wellness benefits as being a huge plus. Every blend serves a unique and important purpose and we love being able to constantly evolve with new blend trends.
7)What is your favorite tea pun?
How can we choose! Let’s just say it’s always a par-tea when we’re involved ;)
