About Maya Tea Company
All Maya teas are dreamed up, mixed, packaged and shipped from their facility in Tucson, Arizona and made from globally sourced ingredients.
Maya uses exclusively All Natural Flavors in their loose leaf and sachet bagged teas. The flavors used look, smell and behave just like the liquid flavors you would use at home when baking. The main ingredients are two simple items: a carrier alcohol, just like the at-home version, and the flavors suspended in that alcohol. During processing they tumble dry their teas until all the alcohol is evaporated. This leaves behind just the flavors which are now bound to the tea leaves and other ingredients.
All natural flavors (versus artificially derived flavors) have a really complicated description from the FDA, but in simple terms they define natural flavors as, “any flavoring agent made from exclusively naturally occurring substances”. Whether that’s the distillation of berries to capture their great flavors, or the pressed oils of nuts or citrus, it must be natural in origin. So you can be sure that when you drink Maya, you’re not getting any artificial, fake flavors in your cup.
Though Maya sometimes purchases organic or fair-trade teas and ingredients, their goal has always been to produce a great finished cup of tea. Sometimes this goal means that. they have to pass on ingredients with special certifications if their quality is not up to snuff. Because of this, Maya does not guarantee these kinds of certifications on any of their teas.Â
Maya does not use any gluten-based products in any of their ingredients or final products.
