Our Story

A journey of mindfulness, quality, and the art of slowing down

The Riva Journey

Born from a deep love for authentic chai, Riva Tea began with a simple vision—create a premium blend that brings people back to themselves. In an age of rush and noise, chai remains one of the few rituals that still slows us down. We wanted that ritual to feel pure, meaningful, and elegant.

We travelled across the lush estates of Upper Assam, selecting only the finest leaves known for their strength and aroma. What emerged was a blend that is bold yet comforting, premium yet soulful.

Riva Tea isn't just about taste—it's about renewal, presence, and a quiet return to your center.

Every sip invites you to reconnect with your thoughts, your moments, your day.

Riva Tea — Regain Yourself.
