Two Leaves and a Bud is a company that makes and sells organic tea. They are based in Basalt, Colorado, a town in the United States. This company is known for its special pyramid-shaped tea bags, which hold whole tea leaves.
The Story of Two Leaves and a Bud
The company Two Leaves and a Bud was started in 2005 by a person named Richard Rosenfeld. He wanted to create a tea company that focused on high-quality, organic teas.
The company gets its different types of tea from farms around the world. They buy black, green, white, and herbal teas. Most of their tea comes from tea growers in countries like China and India.
What is Organic Tea?
Two Leaves and a Bud makes tea that is "certified USDA organic." This means their teas meet strict rules set by the United States Department of Agriculture. For tea to be organic, it must be grown without certain man-made pesticides or fertilizers. It also means the farms use methods that are good for the environment.
The company sells two main types of tea:
- Whole leaf tea sachets: These are like tea bags, but they are pyramid-shaped and contain whole tea leaves, not just small pieces.
- Loose leaf teas: These are tea leaves that are not put into bags. You can brew them directly in a teapot.
