Tiesta Tea was founded
in March of 2010 in Champaign, Illinois, with the goal of providing the highest quality custom-blended flavored teas in the world catering to a customer's daily lifestyle needs, Tiesta Tea offers five lines of teas categorized by their effects on the customer rather than by their type or origin. Each line of tea has a wide variety of flavors
designed to appeal to
every beverage drinker.
Tiesta Tea believes that
for tea to truly enter the
mainstream, it must be
simplified and accessible
to people of all ages.
Tiesta Tea's goal is to
transform tea from an
affordable luxury to daily
health necessity.

Our idea started during a weekend study abroad trip in the spring of 2009. We booked a last minute weekend trip to Prague, a fairy-tale looking city known for its rich history and its status as an international tea hub. One night, we stumbled upon a traditional Czech tea house and ordered a famous Czech fruit tea called Granny's Garden. We were blown away by its full flavor and taste! We instantly bought a few bags to sneak home on the plane. After spending time abroad, we realized how important coffee and tea shops were to the fabric of European society. We said to ourselves, why not the United States? We started Tiesta Tea shortly thereafter and the rest is history!
