As we enter a new decade, the team at Tea Chest Hawaii continues to work on innovative ways to make their products both body-wise and earth-friendly. The Honolulu-based tea company wants to make the term “farm to cup” common language. Owners Byron and Satomi Goo have more than 25 years of tea manufacturing experience and have cultivated decades-long relationships with farmers across the world to source high quality ingredients for the products the company makes. This commitment paid off when the company’s iced tea won the title of Best Iced Tea in America in a national taste competition. Tea has a healthy halo and the company also strives to make products that taste good and are sustainable to produce. These are main reasons why Hawaiian Natural Tea (HNT), the company’s line of single-serving tea bags, is becoming very popular with both kama‘āina and visitors. HNT incorporates organic and local ingredients and capture the flavors and lifestyle of Hawai‘i.  The blends are rich in antioxidants and functional benefits including everyday activities such as relaxation and sleep, to burning fat and boosting metabolism to a cleaner caffeine boost of energy. Hawaiian grown ingredients sourced from local farms include black tea, mamaki, lavender, and cacao.  Most recently, the company helped launch Haleakala Tea grown by Maui Tea Farm after 5 years of collaboration.  Only two pounds of this rare hand-crafted tea are produced every month which is served exclusively at Halekulani Hotels in Waikiki and Okinawa.  Haleakala Tea features a refined cup of black tea with notes of dried bananas, ohia blossoms and raisins. The TEA-m has also worked diligently to establish a communi-tea to support and teach  island farmers how to grow and harvest tea through agriculturally sustainable practices.  Sustainability is also why all of the teabags produced by the company are 100 percent plant-based with no plastic or metal staples.  The company’s hot blends incorporate as much as 95 percent organic ingredients. Tea Chest Hawaii’s relationships extend to more than 300 hotels, restaurants and retailers throughout the islands and Japan and include many celebrated chefs and restaurants who choose to serve Tea Chest Hawaii’s products to their guests. So the next time you are looking to unwind, brew a hot cup of Tea Chest Hawaii tea. And rest assured that what tastes good, is also good for you, and good for the planet.  To learn more about Tea Chest Hawaii and its products please visit https://teachest.com/. SUBSCRIBE NOW!
