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."
