Product Description
-------------------
The most tender green tea leaves are hand rolled into small
pearls and scented with fresh jasmine blossoms. The fragrant
flowers are mated five times with the tea according to
traditional tea scenting techniques that date back over nine
centuries. This high quality jasmine tea from Fujian Province has
a sweet aromatic flavor with bright floral notes. About Numi:
Numi is a labor of love by a brother and sister. She is the
artist and he is the alchemist behind all of Numi’s blends. Their
exceptional-tasting teas are captured in unique blends that use
the highest quality , non-GMO ingredients sourced directly
from Fair Trade Certified gardens. Numi combines premium
full-leaf quality teas and s with only 100% real fruits,
flowers and spices. “Through authenticity, creativity, and
commitment to people and planet, Numi brings you the purest, best
tasting tea” Numi's vision is to inspire well-being of
mind, body, and spirit through the simple art of tea. Numi
elevates the tea experience through quality, creativity, and
authenticity. We are grateful to those who contribute to our tea
journey, and we hope to have a positive impact on all members of
our "Communitea"--from farmer to packer to our fellow tea
drinker. Conscientious of the impact of our actions, we aspire to
be environmentally responsible and globally sustainable by using
recyclable and biodegradable packaging and sustainable bamboo in
our merchandising. The Numi Journey In the fall of 1999, brother
and sister Ahmed and Reem had a vision-to revive the serenity,
creativity, and comfort that is inspired by the simple art of
tea. Both artistic souls and world explorers, the two siblings
have combined their belief in the transcendental properties of
tea with their individual passions for photography, art, and
culture. The result of this blend was Numi Tea, a refreshing and
innovative selection of teas and teasans that awaken the palate,
inspire the soul, and gracefully enhance water's unique
potential. The brother and sister duo behind Numi TeaAhmed, the
master alchemist behind Numi's blends, discovered the calming
simplicity of tea and al teasans while living in Prague,
Czech Republic, where he co-owned and ran two teahouses. A
distinguished photographer, Ahmed used his artistic and intuitive
nature as a foundation for his innovative and artisan approach to
the blending of teas. Fluent in English, Arabic, French, German
and Czech, Ahmed is a citizen of the world; each pot of Numi tea
is an amalgamation of his worldly cultural knowledge, his
in-depth understanding of teas, and his appreciation for quality.
Ahmed's sister Reem has a background that is almost as diverse as
the selection of Numi teas. Before the advent of Numi, Reem, a
biomedical engineer, moved to Italy to nurture her artistic
aspirations. Reem has exhibited her artwork around the world in
San Francisco, New York City, Melbourne, and Florence. But you
don't need to be a globetrotter to admire her artwork--Reem's
original paintings are also exhibited on each one of Numi's
packages. Inspired by her brother's photos and by the meditative
nature and timeless essence of tea, Reem painted Numi's artwork
using oil on small tin plates, with imagery that evokes a slower,
more contemplative way of being. Reem believes that tea, like
art, has a universal essence and is a portal for self-reflection.
What started as a dream in Reem's small Oakland apartment moved
to a lovely 25,000 squrare-foot space on the Oakland waterfront
and has progressed into an exciting and delicious journey. Since
its beginning, Numi has carved a distinct path in the U.S. tea
world by introducing exotic teas such as Rooibos (Red Tea), Lemon
Myrtle, Honeybush, and Dry Desert Lime, and also by offering
full-leaf tea in teabags, without added oils or flavorings. Numi
continues to pave the way and set new tea trends, most recently
with its creation of the hand-sewn and handcrafted "Flowering
Teas."
