Nature's Tea Company is an Indianapolis-based tea company started by Kevin and Lisa Gross. As a huge lover of tea, I was excited to find Nature's Tea Company at this week's Statehouse Market in downtown Indy.
They started brewing teas 30 years ago as a way to provide their children, family, and friends healthier options to soft drinks. That has turned into Nature's Tea Company.
Nature's Tea has both bottled tea and loose-leaf tea options. I tried a $4 bottle of Hibiscus Sangria Tea today. It's not from concentrate, has no premixed powered tea, no artificial fruits, and no artificial ingredients. There are no preservatives or fillers added and no GMOs.
Products are available at various locations in Indiana and Illinois per the website. Indy locations include their home base along with Cleo's Bodega and Georgetown Market. You can find Nature's Tea Company at farmer's markets.
The person I met, I'll assume it was Kevin, was super friendly and even moved a display of tea so I could better access the options and see what they offered.
Nature's Tea has black teas, chai teas, fruity teas, green teas, dessert teas, Oolong Tea, gift sets, wellness tea, RTD teas, and other product options. From what I read, Kevin is a chemist and it's clear that Nature's Tea really works to develop healthy tea options.
I did find the label on my bottle a bit confusing - it says that there's 45 calories per serving and 1 serving per container, however, it also says a serving size is 1 oz. - it then has (16) in parentheses. I think it's pretty clear that one bottle is considered a serving, though the wording is a bit confusing.
If you buy a 12-pack off their website or at their store, the price drops to $3 per bottle. It's certainly more than a soft drink, however, it's much more healthy and satisfying.
Overall, this is a great discovery for this tea lover. I love supporting local and I love iced tea. There's no doubt I'll be back. read more
