History of Maya Tea Company
Maya Tea Company first sprouted roots in the mind of our founder, Manish Shah, who noted the rising popularity of chai tea. Born in India, Manish sipped chai throughout his childhood and into his adult life. To meet the demand for an authentic chai product, Manish and his brother Yash developed a chai blend reminiscient of the chai prepared by their mother in youth. Packaged in teabags for convenience and freshness, the new product was labeled “MY Chai” after the first initials of the two brothers’ first names. Later they developed the first chai tea that could be brewed using commercial coffee brewers for cafes and restaurants. As business grew they received requests from customers and retail clients for traditional teas as well. Maya Tea Company was born. Over the next few years the number of teas offered by the company multiplied, and today Maya Tea offers over 130 varieties of tea for both wholesale and individual customers. Though our focus remains on quality loose teas, we have remained ever innovative, expanding our product line to include iced teas, tea accessories and supplies, private label retail programs, and of course our esteemed Maya Chai concentrate, formulated to resemble the original “MY Chai”. This year, we are excited to introduce Maya Chai’s sister, Devi Chai- a devilishly spicy new version of the concentrate. Maya Tea Company continues to grow, and the initial efforts of Manish have generated today’s team of eight, working endlessly to bring the best that the tea world has to offer into each individual cup.
