Alaya sources from organic and biodynamic farms where tea pickers and workers are treated kindly. Picked fresh and sent in small batches, their loose leaf teas celebrate simple and pure ingredients and free of the typically added flavorings, fragrances, and preservatives.
Alaya's goal is to be a zero-waste company - one that uses packaging that does the least amount of harm to the environment. They offer loose leaf teas because most tea bags are single-use, made with plastic and nylon-based fibers, and contribute to our massive waste problem.
They work with farms that are growing tea in ways that help retain the soil and combat climate change. All Alaya teas and herbals are USDA certified organic and biodynamic, with whole tea leaves to give you the most flavor: two leaves and a bud constitute a tea “leaf” ready for picking.
