Leaf Luxe - Transforming Tea Into Luxury Experiences

Our Story

Leaf Luxe was founded in 2020 by Alap Joshi, who discovered the true artistry of tea during a transformative journey in Darjeeling. This experience inspired him to elevate tea from an ordinary beverage to a mindful luxury, making premium quality accessible to discerning tea lovers.

We recognize the skilled hands of tea artisans—predominantly women—who contribute to every cup. This understanding fuels our commitment to ethical sourcing and empowerment.

Today, Leaf Luxe is more than a luxury tea brand; we are curators of moments and advocates for positive change in the tea industry, striving to uplift communities and honor the ancient wisdom of tea.

Why Choose Leaf Luxe

At Leaf Luxe, we believe that true luxury is not just about premium products – it's about conscious choices, meaningful experiences, and positive impact. Every decision we make reflects our core values

  • Luxury with Purpose

    We transform everyday moments into extraordinary experiences while ensuring our practices benefit the communities that make our teas possible.

  • Mindful Curation

    Each tea in our collection is personally selected, rigorously tested, and thoughtfully presented to ensure it meets our exacting standards for taste, aroma, and quality.

  • Wellness Integration

    We believe luxury and health should never be mutually exclusive. Every blend is chosen not just for its exceptional taste, but for its ability to nurture both body and mind.

Our Commitment to Women Empowerment

One of our proudest achievements is our unwavering commitment to women empowerment in the tea industry. All of our sourcing partners employ 100% women staff, from tea pluckers to quality assessors, packaging specialists to administrative roles. This isn't just a business decision – it's a conscious choice to support the skilled women who are the backbone of tea production.

These remarkable women bring generations of inherited knowledge, unmatched precision in tea selection, and an intuitive understanding of quality that cannot be taught. By ensuring they receive fair wages, skill development opportunities, and leadership roles, we're not just sourcing exceptional tea – we're investing in sustainable community development and honoring the feminine wisdom that has guided tea cultivation for centuries.
