T Project
Portland, Oregon
T Project is a studio where tea virtuoso Teri Gelber hand blends small batches of the finest organic teas and botanicals, crafting them into inspired combinations drawn from her many years in the culinary world. From its website and an artful brick and mortar in Portland, Oregon, T Project sells 28 signature blends and seasonal single garden teas, along with lifestyle goods that reflect her obsession with well-crafted objects that contribute stylish beauty and health to our day to day lives.
T Project blends are named after classic rock and folk tunes from the sixties and seventies. Gelber grew up during this musically rich and politically fired era, which feels especially relevant again in present times. “Some mornings I need a rowdy, brisk English Breakfast blend like Ramble On (Led Zeppelin) and other times, my floral citrus tea Chelsea Morning (Joni Mitchell), suits the moment.” Like a great song, her teas tap into the human spirit with their deliciousness and hand made artistry. From years of cooking, foraging, writing and creating with some of the best chefs on the west coast like Nancy Silverton, Suzanne Goin and Wolfgang Puck, Gelber brings her discriminating palette to bear on the untapped potential of tea blending. Selecting from her cornucopia of the highest quality spices, herbs and flowers, she formulates unique blends into looseleaf teas unlike any that exist. With Gelber’s deft arrangement of exquisite and hard-to-find ingredients, T Project’s hand-blended teas bring uplifting harmonies to your daily rituals.
