About Alaya Tea

Alaya Tea's Story

Alaya comes from “Himalaya,” the region that inspired them to build a tea company. After growing up drinking chai and traversing this mountainous area in India’s Northeast, and visiting small farmers and tea estates, co-founders Esha and Smita were keen to build a company that respects these communities and addresses the environmental challenges we face through agriculture.

Sourcing

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.

Packaging

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.

Biodynamic & Loose Leaf

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.
