The Numi Journey
In the fall of 1999, brother and sister Ahmed and Reem had a vision-to revive the serenity, creativity, and ease that is inspired by the simple art of tea. Both artistic souls and world explorers, the two siblings have combined their faith in the transcendental properties of tea with their person passions for photography, art, and culture. The result of this blend was Numi Tea, a freshening and innovative selection of teas and teasans that arouse the palate, inspire the soul, and graciously heighten water’s distinctive potential.

The brother and sister duo behind Numi Tea

Ahmed, the master alchemist behind Numi’s blends, encountered 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 modern 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 closely 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 art 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 firstborn paintings are likewise 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 art using oil on little 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 little Oakland apartment moved to a lovely 25,000 squrare-foot space on the Oakland waterfront and has innovative into an stimulating and delicious journey. Since it is 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 likewise by supplying full-leaf tea in teabags, without added oils or flavorings. Numi proceeds to pave the way and set new tea trends, most lately with it is creation of the hand-sewn and handcrafted “Flowering Teas.”

Very beautiful and delicious
By Working Mom
I’ve waited a long time to get this set as it was very expensive when it first came out. It was well worth the wait, actually would’ve been well worth the cash had I spent it earlier. Amazon has a really low price on this.
