Free tea from tea legend Steven Smith

Steven Smith Teamaker and Leafbox Tea are giving away three boxes of his premium teas.

http://leafboxtea.com/page/Free_tea_from_Steven_Smith_Teamaker/

For those of you who aren’t aware of who Steven Smith is, he was one of the original co-founders of Stash Tea. After successfully building that brand he sold it to a Japanese tea company. He then founded Tazo Tea, which he developed and then sold to Starbucks. These days, he is blending and selling teas under his name out of a small tea workshop in Portland, Oregon.

To say that the man is a legend in the tea industry is something of an understatement. Arguably, over the last 30 years, Steven Smith and his associates have done more for American tea than anyone else.

Leafbox Tea is thrilled to have him as the sponsor of our latest giveaway. We are giving away a box each of his Brahmin’s Choice black tea, Mao Feng Shui green tea and his Meadow herbal infusion.

Not much action on Steepster yet about his tea, but you can find them here:

Entry for the giveaway ends on Thursday evening, eastern time, 18 March. Be sure to come by and get your entry in!

Thanks for the info & giveaway. I had no idea the same person was originally behind both Stash and Tazo!

Notable quote from one of our entrants:

“Steven Smith is like the rockstar of tea!” by Stephanie. Very cool.

I just wish the website would let me leave a comment. It keeps saying an error has occurred, please logout and then back in. It won’t let me logout either, another error.

I even tried to delete my account and got an error message. Tried to message a moderator and got an error message. This website has a problem or it doesn’t work with Apple computers.

Send you a PM, but it should be working now!

The website doesn’t like my Safari browser. I used my Firefox and it worked fine.
