What You Get When You Go With Tanglewood

No. Short. Cuts. Each batch of chai contains hundreds of pounds of fresh ginger that we hand grate ourselves. We blend whole spices like fruity cloves, star anise, and spicy black pepper that are crushed to release essential oils right before brewing. We use organic turmeric and Oregon lavender flowers, Calabrian bergamot and other aromatics to enhance your experience. We still make one pot at a time, bottle by hand, and never use artificial ingredients or flavors.

Quality that Matches your Standards We are baristas and cafe owners so we know you expect teas that  match your high standards. With shelf stability and ease of use you can crush the line and maintain quality control. Our teas are lower in sugar than other sweetened brands on the market and are always vegan. We never use powdered tea substitutes to ensure the health benefits of the Camellia sinensis plant remains intact.

Sustainable Values/ Supporting the Local Economy  When possible we choose organic, local, and ethical ingredients that are vetted by third parties. We always compost our food waste. In 2019 we started using certified organic Assam tea bought from biodynamic estates in Putharjhora and Banaspathly for all our concentrates. Our Turmeric Thai Tea and Lavender Fog are fully organic.

Quality Employment As a woman, Queer/non-binary and Asian led company we intentionally pool candidates from underserved populations. We offer health insurance, IRA, and pay a living wage. Work/life balance matters to us and we recognize that there would be no Tanglewood without our amazing team.
