Our name comes from "Himalaya," a region where some of the finest teas grow and thus, inspired us to build a tea company. After growing up drinking chai as a daily ritual, traveling in the Himalayan region, and visiting small farmers and tea estates, we were keen to build a company that respects these communities, and is addressing the environmental challenges we face through agriculture.
Alaya's mission is to invest in Indian farmers who are pioneering the organic and regenerative movement, celebrate women that are the backbone of the tea industry, and elevate tea-drinking culture in the United States. We specialize in affordable loose leaf teas, at .28 per cup on average. Our packaging is 100% compostable, including the zipper, adhesive and label.
