Here at the Phoenix Pearl Tea Company, we care about two things above all else: Quality and Taste. We offer single-source estate teas from around the world, wonderful blends — many produced right on premises under the "Made in Montana" program — and bulk herbs. We're not herbalists looking to cure your maladies, nor are we a stuffy tea company demanding you drink our tea the way we want you to. We
focus on making sure we sell good tea that tastes good. our teamaster, co-founder Gwendolyn Gunn, personally tastes every single tea and blend added to our menu, confirming we can serve & sell the right blends for you.
All blends and teas we sell have instructions included with them based on steeping suggestions from our teamaster, co-founder Gwendolyn Gunn. There's no obligation to drink it the way she suggests. Consider it a starting point. If you want to steep it longer, add milk & honey, or use a different water temperature, go for it! We won't judge.
Roughly 1/3 of our 200-strong selection is blended in-house by Gwen or her father, co-founder and owner Gary Robson. Both are trained in the art of tea-craft and have been blending teas for the company for over seven years. Each blend is painstakingly blended, tested, and re-blended to make it perfect. We don't release a single blend into the wild until we're all satisfied with it. We take great pride in not only providing the traditional blends, but also interesting experiments to set ourselves apart. You can count on us to get you a unique blend you've never had elsewhere. Not only do we take pride in our house-blended teas, but also our sourcing. A large portion of our pure teas are single-estate, meaning we have sourced the tea down to a single farm (a single picking, if we can). We are transparent about our sourcing, as we want you to know where your tea comes from, and what quality to expect. If we can get the name of the person that picked the leaves, we'll put it on the bag. We cultivate relationships with independent farms wherever possible to get you the purest tea we can. The Phoenix Pearl Tea Company is in Great Falls, MT. We're an independent family business, and Gwen herself is an out and proud le***an and transgender woman. We support her, and all members of the greater LGBT+ family. When you support our business, you directly support LGBT people.
