The Story Behind Founder’s Blend
Some of my favorite childhood memories are of picking blackberries from the bush at my grandmother’s house. Years later, when we began choosing the teas that would become Old Town’s first collection, the familiar taste of blackberry brought those memories right back.
That connection made this blend an easy choice to carry the Founder’s name. It’s a small piece of where I came from, shared through something we’re building for the future.
