NATIVE AMERICAN TEAS

The Native American Tea Company was originally established in 1987 by a family of Turtle Mountain Chippewa Indians.  Each herbal tea blend was created based on a Native American legend, story or myth and the box shows artwork that reflects this.  The teas were mixed and bagged by hand in Montana and became extremely popular.  The company grew until when in 1990 it relocated to South Dakota.  In 2007 the company was sold to the Aman family.  The Aman family has connections with Sitting Bull College and 5% of the profits from the teas are dedicated to a scholarship fund for the college. 

The company continues to grow and has added both green and black teas to the herbal tea blend selections.  Native American Teas are sold in all 50 states, have been on QVC shopping network, and are featured at the Smithsonian and Mount Rushmore amongst other venues.  Each box not only shows the beautiful artwork showcasing the legend the tea blend is based on, but also tells the story and tradition associated with it. 

Each tea consists of all natural ingredients and there are both naturally caffeinated and non-caffeinated teas.  The teas are all natural and also gluten free with on artificial flavors, colors, flavorings or preservatives. 

Some of the teas produced by the Native American Tea Company are:  Warrior’s Brew, Chief’s Delight, Good Medicine, Indian Love Tea, Teepee Dreams and Victory Tea.  Some, but not all, of the natural herbs and ingredients included in the tea blends are: Chamomile, Cinnamon, Ginger, Ginseng, Juniper Berry, Lemon Grass, Orange Peel, Passion Flower, Rose Hip and Spearmint.  There are other leaves, roots and flowers included in some of the blends and these will be reviewed in more detail in future postings, along with the benefits each provides.
