The idea of Kai Organic Tea was born in 2010 around a chilly living room hearth when I was asked to provide tea for my good friend’s new restaurant in Waco, Texas. Having grown up with a love for gardening, it was only a walk to the garden to pick and process my very first order! Word spread about the tea, leading to more orders than I could produce out of my home kitchen. Then, I teamed up with my brother-in-law Aaron and sister Rebekah, as well as several other growers across the globe. Now having won 5 medals at the prestigious Global Tea Championships, we ship affordable, hand crafted, organically grown, loose leaf tea and fine teaware to all 50 states, including yours!
“We love our own line of tea products, but it is the people behind it – the friendly farmers growing the tea, those of us packing and filling your orders - and you – our friends and neighbors who keep us busy making it – that’s what makes it all worthwhile! Go Tea-m! Let's have tea, together!”
- Joshua Wheeler, Founder & Tea-master
So, what does Kai mean?
Kai is a transliteration of an old Japanese term meaning "community" or "brotherhood." Our teas are hand blended, hand packaged and delivered to you - our neighbors, friends, and family. It's the "community's tea." It's Kai Tea!
