Tavalon is an online tea company (www.tavalon.com) as well as a wholesaler of the world's best teas for retail outlets, specialty stores, cafes, restaurants and more. Tavalon's goal is not only to create the best tea blends the world has ever known, but also to cater these tea blends to the American palate. Utilizing over 200 focus groups to ensure that we've created absolutely delicious, one-of-a-kind recipes that will fit your tastes, our Tea Sommelier Chris Cason selects and blends premium loose leaf teas from all over the world. Music is a passion that Tavalon has always drawn inspiration from. Like tea, music is an age-old experience shared and enjoyed practically everywhere around the world. The ubiquitous power of music reinforces tavalon's conviction that we can create great teas - accessible not just to connoisseurs, but to those from all walks of life. Music has manifested itself in virtually every aspect of the company, permeating though not only our approach, but through our teas which we call 'mixes', 'remixes', and 'the uncut.' Like the music from whose name it is taken, mixes are our completely original inventions. Remixes, like in music, are our interpretations of classics. The uncut is just pure, amazing tea. Tea has played a minimal role for far too long in the United States, overshadowed by the seemingly ubiquitous coffee bean empire, and mired in its own "traditional" image. The goal of Tavalon is to push tea back into the spotlight by presenting a fresh, new, accessible face for tea-- Tavalon tea. Our objective is to become a tea company for both tea connoisseurs and newcomers to the tea world. We aim to provide premium teas and accessories to a global audience.
