THE TEEMA STORY

OUR ROOTS

Nestled deep in the rolling hills of northern Thailand, there is a special place, a haven where change is happening every day. A resilient group of women decided to do things differently in a business dominated by men for hundreds of years. They gathered their resources, took back their power, and began growing tea. They plant tea seeds and harvest real change for their families.

Teema Teas began when a father started to worry about his two young girls. His daughters were growing up in a world that tells them they’re unequal. He searched for a place where women knew their strength, took charge of their lives, and watched out for one another. He found it in Thailand. He launched Teema to bring the vision of these women to the rest of the world.

Now settled in the Texas Hill Country of Austin, Texas, we are dedicated to continuing the mission of TEEMA TEAS in philanthropy work. Inspired by important women of his own life, tea connoisseur and owner Stewart found healing through spirituality, holistic health and tea of course! These experiences deepened his awareness of global injustices and inspired his passion for art and anthropology. He is now focused on advancing the mission of TEEMA TEAS, empowering women to shape their futures. With a commitment to change, he aims to educate the community about the benefits of tea and its historical significance in various cultures such as the women in Thailand.

Teema means origin. It is the origin of hope, of love, of quality, of change. In a world of oppression, there is a place where women have taken back their power, invested in their own lives and the lives of their families. You can access this place and support these women when you drink Teema. It’s not a myth. It’s real. And you can taste it.
