FROM SCRATCH
TO THE WORLD
Every story starts somewhere.
This is where ours began.
first stop:
colombo
in 2017,
I started out in a small, empty office. Sketching ideas, thinking things through—days turned into nights, and nights into mornings. As someone who truly loves black tea, I believed Earl Grey is the face of any tea brand. And I wanted mine to be made with soft, fragrant Ceylon tea. So I headed to Sri Lanka. Flights to Sri Lanka stop in Colombo on the way to the Maldives. The plane was full of honeymooners.
After arriving in Colombo,
I met with more than 20 tea companies in a row, visited plantations, and tasted teas at every stop. Jet lag made it exhausting, but the whole experience was exciting. That’s how I chose the Earl Grey we have today. That’s how it all began—one at a time.

BLESSING NEIGHBORS
From the very first two boxes of tea, our journey began.
Even as we grow and reach farther into the world,
we remember each hand that first chose us — one by one, like neighbors.
