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 rooted in the Texas Hill Country of Austin, Texas, we carry forward the philanthropic mission of TEEMA TEAS. Inspired by the influential women in his life, CEO and tea connoisseur Stewart found healing through nature, holistic wellness, and—of course—tea. These experiences deepened his awareness of global injustices and sparked a passion for driving change through creativity. Today, he remains devoted to TEEMA TEAS' mission: advocating for every woman's right to shape their own future. With a steadfast commitment to social impact, he also works to educate communities on the rich cultural and historical significance of tea.

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.

Blessed to be a wife, mom and member of a loving community. Ginger-black tea is my joyful start to each day and chamomile my peaceful ending of a long day.

As a child I loved playing in the woods, using my imagination and yes, drinking sleepy time tea before bed. I often heard the phrases "put on some shoes" and "be more careful". My family would at times have to come looking for me while I was loosing track of time outside. 

After earning a Bachelor's degree in Art and Anthropology I pursued my passion for adventure working as an Outdoor Guide. I continued involvement in the natural world, learning about the uses and benefits of many different plants from knowledgeable peers. 

The interest in herbs, plants, flowers, trees, and tea has been an ever evolving part of our lives. TEEMA brings continued learning, inspiration, community involvement, and overall health. Each and every tea has its own character and purpose.

We have so much gratitude and respect for the amazing women that cultivate this tea with intention, honoring tradition, and sharing their kindness with the world. Lately, Ginseng Pearl Oolong and Moringa Green Tea are some of my favorites.
