What You Get When You Go With Tanglewood
No Shortcuts. Ever.
Each batch of our small-batch chai concentrate is brewed with hundreds of pounds of fresh, hand-grated ginger. We crush whole spices like star anise, cloves, and black pepper right before brewing to release their essential oils. Our recipes include organic turmeric, Oregon-grown lavender flowers, Calabrian bergamot, and other aromatics to deliver bold, layered flavors. We brew one pot at a time, bottle by hand, and never use artificial ingredients, powdered teas, or shortcuts—ever.
Barista-Quality Chai and Tea for Cafés
As former baristas and café owners, we know what it takes to keep your line moving while keeping your drinks consistent. Our shelf-stable tea concentrates are lower in sugar than most commercial brands, 100% vegan, and crafted to meet the high standards of specialty coffee and tea service. We preserve the benefits of the Camellia sinensis plant by never using powdered substitutes.
Sustainability and Local Sourcing
We prioritize organic, local, and ethically sourced ingredients whenever possible. All food waste is composted at our facility. Since 2019, we've used certified organic Assam tea from biodynamic estates in Putharjhora and Banaspathly. Our Turmeric Thai Tea and Lavender Fog concentrate are both fully organic.
Equity in Employment
As a woman-, queer/non-binary-, and Asian-led company, we are committed to creating quality jobs and inclusive hiring. We offer a living wage, health insurance, and IRAs. Our company culture values work-life balance—and we know that without our amazing team, there would be no Tanglewood.
