About this tea

Honey Ponderosa is a hardy black tea blend. We distill that uncanny honey-vanilla-marshmallow aroma you smell in a Rocky Mountain pine forest into your tea cup. Bee pollen adds heft, while the honey aroma invites a slow-blooming sweetness. Delicious and smooth, maintaining that classic black tea kick. Try it chilled, and you might drink it all summer long: robust, but with an extra special something, always inviting another sip.

Ever sniffed a Ponderosa pine? Come in close: this is a hint of Montana wilderness. The Ponderosa Pine, while found all over the West, is the Montana State tree. When you walk through a Ponderosa forest on a hot day, you might smell a vanilla aroma. Scientists theorize that tree sap interacts with the heat, producing that honey, vanilla, and roasted marshmallow smell all rolled into one. We're proud to share one of our favorite flavors from the Big Sky State. Let us know if you think we nailed it.

A made in Montana tea.

This is my favorite tea and I’ve been drinking it every morning for years! Every time I’m close to running out I buy another of the largest bags offered. I hope they never stop selling this tea!

This is a second and/or third pick for me, i love honey, never really and don't yet understand the ponderosa part, but it's on the higher end of the scale for flavor.

Love this - the flavor with the addition of bee pollen is distinctive and I love the notes of honey and vanilla.

My husband and I bought a small bag in your shop while visiting Missoula and I fell in love with the honey ponderosa. The smell reminds me of the pipe tobacco my grandpa used to smoke so it's very nostalgic and has such a great flavor! I'm ordering a bigger bag this time.

Honey Ponderosa

I have tried teas from around the country and LMTC has been the very best. The last year I have only ordered from them. Honey Ponderosa and Cloud 9 are my favorite. You will not be disappointed. If you are just starting out get a ForLife mug and tea infuser combo and just order what sounds good, there are so many great teas to choose from. If you have any questions Heather and the team are really passionate about their tea and will help you find exactly what you're looking for.

Personal opinion: this is the best tea I’ve ever had! I visited Missoula for a summer and had the privilege of sipping on this tea while I was there. It’s naturally sweet so I never need to add sugar. Had to have some shipped to my hometown. 10/10 recommend :)

My best friend lives in Missoula and brought me home this tea for Christmas. I've been drinking it everyday, sometimes twice a day since she gave it to me. It is so delicious. I can't wait to try some more flavors.
