From Tea Journey
Hello fans and friends in tea,
For nearly a decade, Tea Journey has brought together tea journalists, academics, and professionals to share the rich stories, cultures, and traditions of tea. Since our launch in May 2015, we've been headquartered in Winnipeg, Canada, but we’re now ready to take an exciting step to mark our 10th anniversary — relocating to the tea lands themselves in India, in 2025.
In countries where tea is grown, it's much more than a product - it's a source of livelihood and pride. Tea Journey links the millions of people who make tea and those who drink it to drive greater appreciation for all.
Tea Journey is a tea lover's companion, a friendly voice with the most exciting tales to enjoy in the company of a cup of tea.
Led by Editor Bhavi Patel, Tea Journey’s new phase promises to continue its legacy as the authentic voice of the tea lands, serving tea enthusiasts, industry professionals, and smallholder farmers around the world.
The Vision
Tea Journey believes a sustainable future is shaped by people driven by passion to build a better world. We are building a reader-powered magazine: rooted in community, fueled by curiosity, and led by the people who live and breathe tea.
Farmers, artisans, tasters, and innovators do the work, but their voices are often left out of the global tea conversation. Tea Journey exists to change that.
As we re-launch our Oversubscribe+ campaign, we invite everyone to help shape the next chapter. If you work with tea, live among tea, love it deeply, are a regular consumer, or are just curious about tea, this is your story too!
Our move to India is intended to bring us closer to the people who produce tea. Above all else, it sharpens our lens and expands our reach. India is the beating heart of tea cultivation and culture. The move will also reduce overhead,enabling us to strengthen our connection with the industry and the smallholder farmers who are integral to the story of tea.
Your investment will help fund this transition in three stages:
- Legal and Administrative Setup: Ensuring smooth business registration, permit acquisition, and intellectual property registration in both Canada and India.
- Operational Upgrades: Funding equipment, modern software, and part-time staff to maintain and grow the magazine’s high-quality content from a newly established home office.
- Enhanced Storytelling: Expanding storytelling formats, adding diverse contributors, and nurturing the tea community through vibrant, global narratives.
Join us in building a space where tea and the entire tea community - everyone who grows,
makes, sells, enjoys, and is curious about tea is appreciated and heard.
