We traveled the world during our college semester abroad and stumbled upon loose tea for the first time. It was in a tiny Czech teahouse in the center of Prague that got us hooked on tea. We returned to the US and quickly discovered a problem. If we wanted loose tea, we had to go out of our way to a specialty store, pay an absurd price and confront confusing tea names and origins. The tea world was filled with too much jargon and stereotypes of stuffy tea parties. What if we flipped it upside down? We started Tiesta Tea to revolutionize the way people consume tea. Finding the right tea should be simple: what will it do for me and what does it taste like. By focusing on function and flavor, we make tea approachable and easy to understand. We created five functional categories based on the health benefits that each blend naturally gives you. We also believe that life is about more than just tea and business. We believe in using our platform to give back directly to people in need in our communities. Billions of people lack access to clean water. To combat that, we set aside a portion of sales from each of our bottled teas to build water wells. We build these wells in communities in Nigeria that grow some of our ingredients. Because we want to support the communities that support us. Millions more do not have a place to sleep at night. Every January, our team and volunteers gather together to pass out hot tea and Warmth Kits to those living on the cold city streets of Chicago. We believe businesses shouldn't just generate profits, they should do good, too. It's really that simple. Do what you love, step out of your comfort zone and be you. Be the best version of yourself that you can be and help others to do the same. Live Loose, The Tiesta Tea Team RECENT AWARDS + INC. BEST WORKPLACES 2018 + INC.
