Tazo Tea Factory
Thanks to my new and important position as a starbucks barista, me and the crew got to tour the Tazo Tea factory located right in Portland. It was my first time touring a factory, we even got to wear hard hats when we entered the processing area. Hair nets though were not so fun / fashionable.
The tour was very very interesting for many reason, mostly it is an eye-opening experience to be at a place where ALL of the Tazo tea blends come from. But more so because of the overwhelming aromas that surrounded us as we walked into the factory, passion fruit, hibiscus, peppermint, matcha. I was on sensory overload for all of the two hour tour.
Finally, the tea tasting was delightful. Thanks to my asian roots, I still like Jasmine above all other teas presented to us. Although the Vanilla Rooibus is very delicately delicious.
