About the Brand

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.

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.
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 the launch of the first line of Organic Puerh Tea in bags and bottles!

Gen Mai Cha - ORGANIC Medium Caffeine According to Japanese legend, a servant named Gen Mai created this tea after rice fell from his pocket into his samurai's pot. The result was a nutty flavor that enlivened the smooth taste of Sencha, a traditional Japanese green tea. Picked in the spring, its needle-like leaves are steamed and then blended with toasted rice for a savory brew. Darjeeling - ORGANIC & FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED Higher Caffeine In the foothills of the Himalayas in northern India lies a remote paradise in the clouds called Darjeeling. Known as the "Champagne of Teas", this golden-tipped black carries a clear bright flavor, subtly floral, yet smooth in its finish. Rooibos - ORGANIC Caffeine Free Rooibos or 'Red Tea' grows in the high desert regions of South Africa’s Cederberg Mountains. It has an earthy, vanilla taste and a vibrant hue with hints of autumn straw. With levels of antioxidants comparable to green tea, Numi's Rooibos is rich in minerals, low in tannins, and calming on the nerves.

This is the perfect size and price for a gift for a special friend or coworker. The quality of numi's tea is the highest and the Tea pot is the perfect size for 2. I received one as a gift last holiday season and will be gifting a couple myself this year. Although other reviews may knock the price, Numi's quality can't be beat.
This is an absolutely beautiful tea set, and a pleasure to use. I received it for a gift, and I know my husband got it for a lower price than the fifty-three dollars listed here as I write this. Shop around for a good price. There are other places to buy this item online.
The samples are VERY tiny, which is why I took off one star. It's okay, except that it was hard to tell from the picture just how small they really are. You are getting four very different kinds of quality, unique, organic tea. The main thing you're paying for is the teapot and cups. I love that it comes with the strainer for brewing loose leaf tea, which we like to purchase from English Tea Store. The pot is very stable with the wide flat bottom. I'm not worried about breaking it, like so many teapots I have handled in stores. I haven't had problems with dripping. My husband's teapot often drips, but I think he just overfills it.
I agree with the other reviewer that buying products made in China is a downside. However, this is a Chinese-style pot, so I don't think it's a bad thing that it was made in China. That's where the design came from! I lived in China, and this is a style I saw over there. Tea is Chinese. It's okay if your teapot is made in China!

I've got this set for $17.95 with a promotion. It is a very nice looking set for this price. I really like how it looks. It looks a lot nicer than the photo. However, there are two things I am not quite fond of. 1. The pot and cups are made in China. 2. The tea leaks from the top of the pot every time when I try to pour.
