Discovering the Heart of New Mexico Through Herbal Teas
Steep yourself in the natural beauty and rich flavors of New Mexico with the unique offerings of Desert Mountain Tea Company. Founded by Trevor Logan, this innovative company brings vertical farming and sustainable practices to local botanicals, turning them into exquisite small-batch herbal teas that encapsulate the rugged charm of the high desert.
Local Botanicals: A Taste of the Southwest
Trevor Logan's journey back to New Mexico was motivated by a deep connection to the land he fell in love with while studying at Santa Fe. After years spent managing restaurants far removed from the landscape of his youth, Logan envisioned a way to celebrate the flavors of New Mexico. His teas showcase local ingredients like cota (Navajo tea), piñon, and juniper, sourced from local farmers’ markets and herbalists, ensuring that each blend has a high desert essence.
Each tea is crafted with intention to evoke the sensation of being immersed in nature. For instance, the Santa Fe Piñon is laced with pine needles; Pecos River features juniper alongside honeybush, creating an aromatic, calming experience. Meanwhile, the Madrid Magic provides a whimsical brew that shifts from blue to purple with a squeeze of lemon, embodying the mystical landscapes of the region.
A Ritual of Calm in Every Cup
In a fast-paced world, Logan's intention is to turn each tea session into a 'ritual of calm.' He believes in the power of nature to heal, and his passion fuels each blend, which he describes as "wildly earthy". This is particularly evident in the Biscochito tea, which captures the essence of the iconic New Mexico cookie with bright notes of anise and vanilla.
As Logan says, “When you steep them, you feel like you’re having a moment in nature—and I think nature is the one thing that can heal us.” This sentiment resonates deeply with local tea enthusiasts and transplants alike, who find solace and connection in each sip.
