Beyond all the tangible traditions a country carries, there’s a sort of feeling that accompanies sitting in its old houses, walking in its narrow pathways and mingling with its locals. We call it Teabah, and we bring it to you in a cup of tea.
Our founder, Boushra Hassanieh, created her own tea blends six years ago out of her love for tea and the rich nature surrounding her hometown. In 2019, she decided to turn her passion into a brand that offers different tea blends, all green-based, infused with herbs to elevate the taste, and sold in unique hand-crafted wooden boxes.
We offer fresh, high-quality tea with a whole experience behind it: the people, the lands, the herbs, the Teabah. Our tea brings change to the lives of women and farmers with our decentralized production approach based on collaborations with the rural community. We introduce herb production to farmers that helps them sustain their farms and we guarantee to buy their crops. We also provide women who work with us with the needed knowledge to cultivate the herbs and enough plants to plant in their gardens. We then go back and buy the crops from them, helping them sustain better financials while working from home.
Despite the difficult times in the past year, we succeeded in validating our product in the Lebanese market while winning many awards along the way. We opened our workshop to the public, employed 4 full-time women in it, built our first greenhouse, and sold more than 20,000 tea bags in Lebanon.
We want to multiply our production to impact more lives, and we want you to help. Buy your tea from us, donate money to help us grow and support more independent farmers and rural women, and of course spread the word about our and your Teabah.
