Caldera, TWIST, and Steven Smith Teamaker

TWIST, Caldera, and Steven Smith Teamaker came together in spring 2010 to support underserved Oregon kids as a part of Calderas Art & Design, a year-round, long-term project joining innovative arts mentoring with creative professionals.

A group of Caldera high school students from Central Oregon and Portland worked closely with teamaker Steven Smith to design this unique blend. The students each created their own blend of chai, using various black teas and spices. They then conducted a secret taste test to find the blend they liked best. The final formula (concocted by student, IDK) became the signature "Caldera Chai" blend. After Steven re-created the blend for a 100-box series, the students and the Smith Teamaker team packaged all of the tea to be sold at TWIST and TWISTonline.com.
