Teavana's Teas Countries Of Origin - RateTea Report

May 25, 2012 - PRLog -- RateTea, an interactive tea rating website open to the public, maintains an extensive database of commercially-available teas, recording information about the tea including its style (type or variety), brand, and region of origin.  This report focuses on teas from Teavana, a mainstream retailer of loose-leaf tea in the U.S., and summarizes the countries of origin of Teavana's teas, both past and present.

Which teas are covered in this report?

RateTea's database of teas sold currently or formerly by Teavana currently includes 165 teas.  This figure includes both teas currently sold by Teavana, and those which were formerly sold and added to the RateTea database, but which have been retired from Teavana's catalogue.  The figure is not exhaustive, and may exclude both newly added teas which have not yet been added to the database, and older teas which were not added to the database prior to being retired.

The portion of Teavana's offerings which are blends:

An overwhelming majority, 120, or over 72 percent of Teavana's teas are blends, meaning that they contain ingredients from multiple countries of origin, and cannot even be grouped as originating in a single continent.  One blend originates in Europe.  The origin of 20 teas is unknown, meaning that RateTea was not able to discern or deduce the origin of the ingredients and that Teavana did not openly specific the origin of all ingredients on their website.

Where do Teavana's single-origin teas originate?

The largest represented country among Teavana's teas is China, with 13 teas.  This is followed up by India and Japan with 3, and Nepal with 2.  The remaining countries, Taiwan, Thailand, and South Africa, all have a single offering in Teavana's catalogue.
