REVIEWS:
Alaya teas are gentle yet distinct. To appreciate them, slow down and take notice rather than gulp and go.
Dana Cowin, Former Editor-in-Chief, Food and Wine
Our favorite pouch is the Darjeeling First Flush...It’s lightly floral, with a sturdy black tea backbone. Brewed hot, it’s especially dainty (appealing for those who find tea too tannic or bitter).
Bon Appétit
The tea is potent, with a spiciness I absolutely love, but the lemongrass tones it down a bit and gives it a nice balance.

100% Plastic-Free
We believe tea should be drunk fresh and plastic-free. We use 100% compostable bags, zippers, ink adhesive and even shipping materials.
Alaya is an Indian, women-owned tea company. Our name comes from “Himalaya,” a region where some of the finest teas grow and thus, inspired our founders Esha Chhabra and Smita Satiani to build a tea company.
