An ancient tradition that dates back to 2737 B.C., tea drinking has travelled along the Silk Road, was introduced to Europe, and has been incorporated into cultures around the world ever since, its recipes and preparations evolving along the way. A vehicle for inner peace, health, interpersonal connection, and happiness, tea is an exemplar that has shaped cultural behaviours, family traditions, and agricultural practices around the world. From India to South America, we uncover each nation’s rooted relationship with this comforting companion. As the custodian of a universal ritual, our mission at TEALEAVES is to inject purpose and intention into the human experience, to incite consciousness of oneself, one’s time, and one’s impact.
