Alaya Tea is an Indian, women-owned loose leaf tea company that sources teas directly from people and planet-friendly farms in India. The name comes from “Himalaya,” a region where some of the finest teas grow, and thus inspired the creation of Alaya Tea. After traveling in the Himalayan region, visiting small farmers and tea estates, the founders were keen to build a company that respects these communities, and is addressing the environmental challenges we face through agriculture.
