Kokomo Tea was founded out of a call for change. Disappointed with the current state of the specialty tea industry, the founders of Kokomo Tea saw an opening for a company like Kokomo to modernize the way we live through the benefits of tea. We ve made it our goal to educate the public about the world of tea while introducing them to the healthier lifestyle consuming tea leads to. To achieve these goals, we set ourselves assail on a course of exploration and education, researching for years and certifying ourselves along the way.The time and attention put forth learning about tea and the shortcomings of the tea industry has culminated into a corporate policy of Dedication to Detail™.

We promise to dedicate ourselves to the detail that so many others seem to simply skim over while maintaining the ideals of a healthy and green lifestyle. Over a lifetime of consuming tea and enjoying both its unique flavors and endless health benefits, we’ve realized a couple of things which have prompted our call for change. The first is that drinking tea on a regular basis is a lifestyle that benefits your body, mind and spirit. For thousands of years, tea consumers have instinctively known that there is something more to this beverage than just a great taste and aroma. In fact, tea is great for you and that’s no longer just a myth.

Recently, medical science has begun to extensively explore the benefits drinking tea has on your health. Scientists have begun to discover that tea benefits everything from your oral and cardiovascular health to lowering your risk of cancer along with numerous other health benefits. With so many benefits and different flavors, it s surprising that tea isn’t a more popular beverage. And that brings us to our next point. Throughout the world, tea is the second most consumed beverage after water. Here in the US, however, tea falls short behind many other beverages which lack both its depth of flavor and the health benefits tea has to offer. Research and years of observation indicate that tea is undervalued and unappreciated in America simply because the general public lacks knowledge about tea. It is our intention, however, to fix that immediately through our educational and interactive website. Armed with the proper knowledge and guidance, we believe people can easily integrate this delicious beverage in their daily lives and begin to see the difference.

Kokomo Tea mission is to educate people about the wonders of tea and introduce them to the healthier lifestyle consuming tea leads to. With our “Sensory Selected” teas we aim to prove that healthier lifestyle choices do not have to lead to a sacrifice in flavor or taste. Our objective is to be known as the go-to reliable source for high quality loose leaf teas, tea ware and tea information. In addition, Kokomo Tea’s mission is to set a standard of accountability in the specialty tea industry by being the first to trace for consumers both the origin and growing season of each pure tea we sell. We will never compromise the quality or integrity of our tea in order to sell customers the lowest priced tea on the market. We will only sell high quality, flavorful teas from the best growing seasons for each tea, thus, making all of our teas a limited edition.

At Kokomo Tea we pride ourselves on our loose leaf teas . It is our aim to bring you the freshest, high quality loose leaf teas from around the world each year. That’s why we’ve taken the time to scour the globe to form relationships with large plantations and small gardens rather than just mass distributors. Knowing where and when our teas were produced is imperative to the ideals of Kokomo Tea’s dedication to detail.

We will only bring you the freshest high quality loose leaf teas from the best growing season for each tea, thus, making all of our teas limited editions. Taking our dedication to detail a step further, we will also establish a standard of accountability for our customers by being able to trace all of our pure teas to their origin and growing season to ensure the tea’s freshness and integrity. We have taken the time to sample hundreds of teas from around the world in order to bring you the best. Kokomo Tea has a dedicated team of tea tasters who all have years of experience drinking and cupping tea, as well as, certification from the Specialty Tea Institute and other tea institutions.

Each team member has been specifically selected based on their particular area of tea expertise, in order to bring to you a well rounded tea selection. To bring you the finest teas, Kokomo Tea’s team of tea tasters has developed a process for evaluating tea called “The Sensory Selected Process”. This process builds off of the foundation of a classic tea cupping. Based on the look, feel, scent and taste of the tea, we have developed a complex weighted formula to evaluate each tea sample. This process of evaluation enables us to ensure we are bringing you the finest teas of the season with the most appeal. Through the Sensory Selected Process we bring you a premium selection of the most famous teas, as well as, a selection of seasonally appropriate tea blends and tisanes. Our tea menu also includes a few organic and fair trade teas in addition to as many all natural tea blends as possible. In order to continue to bring you the freshest premium loose leaf teas, we promise to adhere to the dedication to detail which our consumers have come to rely on.
