Elephants Delicatessen now proudly serving Steven Smith Teamaker teas
July 26, 2010
PORTLAND – This city’s well-known deli, Elephants Delicatessen, has partnered with one of its well-known tea makers, Steven Smith.
Smith, founder of Stash and Tazo teas, recently launched a new line of gourmet teas under the label Steven Smith Teamaker. Smith, a customer at Elephants flagship store on NW 22nd Avenue, will be Elephants exclusive tea provider, offering his delicious loose-leaf-style teas in convenient eco-friendly bags.
For more than 30 years, Elephants Delicatessen has sourced the best, local products available. Elephants’ employees say the Steven Smith Teamaker brand is the best bagged tea available, and the product is blended at the company’s headquarters in Portland’s Pearl District. The company’s sustainability standards were also a draw for Elephants, which prides itself on many earth-friendly practices such as one of the first businesses in the city to use green power.
