Learn About The Founder of Buddha Tea
Written by Buddha Tea
Born in the U.K., Buddha Teas’ co-founder John Boyd grew up immersed in the UK tea culture. After moving to the United States in 2006, he realized that his choices of unadulterated tea were limited. He wanted to create an expanded selection for tea lovers seeking the same purity and quality he was committed to. John became inspired to develop a tea company to fill the gap. He approached his longtime business partner, fellow entrepreneur Nicholas Marier, to launch an organic tea company. John’s passion for utilizing herbs and spices as healing agents contributed to his goal of creating a complete tea company offering consumers high-quality, sustainably sourced, single-ingredient herbal teas, blended wellness formulas, as well as green, black, white, and CBD varieties.
Buddha Teas are either USDA Certified Organic or wildcrafted. We use only the finest ingredients, and our Green Teas are from an organic Japanese tea farm. In all of our teas, we ensure a substantial quantity of the essential herbs & spices. For example, our Elderberry Tea is 100% Elderberry, and our Chaga Tea is 100% Chaga. Our products, except for two, are OU Kosher certified and certified non-GM0. All of our teas are natural; we use no natural flavors or artificial flavors. We use unbleached tea bags, and our Teas for Trees program plants 5,000 trees per year. Taste and feel the difference quality makes.
