Smith Teamaker
Share
Loose leaf blends and varietals handcrafted in Portland, OR. Visit us at www.smithtea.com Steve uses this spoon daily, to perfect the teas that bear his name.
Inspired by the perfumers of Paris and the fine chocolatiers of Provence, teamaker Steve Smith has once again picked up his tasting spoon — a big-bellied, sterling silver antique found in a stall in Tinsukia, India. Joined by trusted cohorts from his previous tea adventures, such as Tazo, he lovingly crafts each small batch of Smith in his Teaworks atelier.
When the heat sets in, this is where the afternoon slows down.
Hibiscus Mango brewed bright and bold, frozen into a granita that catches the light, then finished with a soft cloud of vanilla creme fraiche whipped cream. Cool, fragrant, and just sweet enough.

For sake brewer Taisuke Sato of fermentation is an open landscape. Rice meets foraged plants, herbs, and spices in a revival of an ancient, free-spirited way of making sake.
His latest brew draws on Tokyo Twilight, a tea we created in celebration of our Shibuya store, extracted slowly and cold so its umami and delicate herbal notes settle clearly into the glass. An abstract meeting of two crafts, and two makers.
We’re planning a tasting event in Portland, with the fine folks of Sunflower Sake later this summer once the sake lands here, so stay tuned.
A Japanese sake brewery, our Tokyo Twilight tea, and a quiet meeting of two makers.
Tomorrow.

Our Teamakers are constantly pushing the boundaries of flavors, pairings and blends to craft new and exciting tea offerings. We're particularly pleased with our Mezcal Oolong, featuring roasted Phoenix Oolong aged in a wet barrell with bright Mezcal. The resulting tea is smoky, sweet and complex. Delicious on its own or stirred into a mezcal cocktail. Makes a great gift for the dad in your life.
