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 Tea

Ahmed, the master alchemist behind Numi's blends, discovered the calming simplicity of tea and herbal 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."

I started drinking Chai tea in 2000, having given up coffee. I needed something to replace my coffee,without the ferocious caffeine attack that begins shortly afterwards. In my search for the best chai tea, I have tried
Tazo[very good},Celestial seasonings[okay]Stash[good] Big Train[a mix, sweet}
Yogi{okay-good} Revolution Bombay Chai[very good]Alto eco ceylon Chai{very Good} Kashmiri Chai[very Good}Tetley{surprisingly good} looose Chai from Stash[good} Fresh Direct[very good] Tazo{very Good] and local tea sellers. NUMI TEA GOLDEN CHAI IS THE BEST I HAVE TASTED. Not too spicey,it hold the tea flavor both with milk and soy milk,plain and with sugar[and splenda] It is spicey not biting, strong not overpowering. Simply excellent! And organic to boot!

I ordered this tea in search of a good chai in a tea bag. (My favorite is Harney & Sons "Indian Spice" but it is a loose tea, pretty expensive, they make tea bags, too, but they are even more expensive.) So I was on a mission to find a really good chai, with less mess. The spice in this chai is great, tastes very good, but it is lacking tea flavor and body, if I put too much milk in it, it over powers the tea altogether. It just seems watery to me, maybe I'll try 2 tea bags per cup. I really relied on the reviews above and the worst part is I bought the 6-pack and now I have all this tea I really don't care for.

While Numi's Ruby Chai has an overtone of mixed ginger and cloves, their Golden Chai makes the notes of cardamom and cinnamon more obvious. The two teas are surprisingly different, despite the fact that they both share a certain warmth and coziness. The assam tea that serves as a base for the Golden is a mellow, mild black, giving the tea its golden color and light flavor. You end up with a mellow, subtle, warm, complex blend that holds your tastebuds' attention while it warms, relaxes and refreshes you.
