About Us
About Us
Kiru Tea is a brand that has woven a tapestry of flavor, tradition, and serenity into every cup. Our essence is more than just a beverage; it’s a journey into the heart of tranquility. Where each leaf is treated as a treasure, and where the act of steeping tea is a ritual of mindfulness.
Each blend in our collection is a labor of love, a symphony of flavors carefully orchestrated by our master blenders. From delicate green teas to robust black ctc and orthodox varieties to exotic chai blends, Kiru tea offers a tea for every mood and occasion.
But Kiru tea is not just about the tea itself; it’s about the experience. It’s about the sound of boiling water, the sight of leaves unfurling in your cup, and the warmth of the porcelain against your palms. It’s about the conversations shared over a pot of tea and the quiet moments of solitude with a book in hand.
