Tcha's Eco-Friendly Solution


Tcha's bottles are 100% recyclable, made from at least 50% recycled materials, and lightweight to reduce CO2 emissions in production and transportation. Choosing recycled plastic over glass means they require less energy and water, and generate less solid waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Perfectly Balanced Tea Blends


Tcha offers three flavorsome ready-to-drink tea blends: Awaken, Revive and Relax. Each is made with a base of Kenyan black tea and then blended with additional tea top notes, real flavors and vitamins to create products that meet the needs of your day. The blends are free from artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavors, low in calories, plant-based, allergen-free, and suitable for vegans.

 

A Passionate Team of Innovators Behind Tcha


Based in Henley on Thames, Oxfordshire, Tcha is a small team of like-minded people with a passion for food, drink, and innovation. Their chief 'tea boy' and former chef Matt was already working in product development for soft drinks when he started experimenting with 'cold' tea. With marketer Ruth's help, they discovered that tea is the second most consumed beverage in the world after water. They set about experimenting with tea varieties, vitamins, and unconventional flavorings to create Tcha's purposeful blends. With creative director Nick on board, they signed off on Awaken - the first Tcha blend after 87 recipes.

Tcha is much more than just a tea company. It is a socially responsible and environmentally conscious brand with a strong focus on sustainability, ethical sourcing, and community support. They are an inspiring example of how businesses can balance profitability with social and environmental responsibility.
