Our Story

27Teas was born out of a longing for a sense of fulfillment and a cold office cubicle…

It all started after college. I became a tea drinker out of necessity. Who would have guessed they would keep my office so cold in the winter? Tea became my best friend, a friend that provided warmth for my soul.

A few days after drinking my first cup, I was hooked.  It became my passion to try new types of tea everywhere I went.

While my love for tea began to grow, my satisfaction at work began to dwindle. I wanted to do more and be a part of something bigger.

How could I make a difference in this world?

I decided to start with the basics. What did I enjoy? Tea. High quality, smooth, loose leaf tea. What did I have that so many others need? Water. Clean and safe drinking water.

So on my 27th birthday, after many hours of brainstorming and idea generation with my husband, we finally put the pieces together and came up with the idea for 27Teas. A tea company providing high quality, delicious tea that you can’t find in the grocery store. A company that would give back to help provide clean water to the millions of people around the world without access to it.

So drink up my friends, because with your purchase, so many others will be able to enjoy a clean glass of water — the same ingredient so important to your cup of tea.

Cheers to being part of something bigger than yourself,

Chief Tea Lady Margaret Gay
