Tea Drops is a California based, innovative tea company, creating organic, bagless teas. Tea has always been a staple in my upbringing, especially being born to a Chinese mother and Sri Lankan father (who was actually born on a tea estate). I witnessed first hand how the ritual of tea brought people and communities together.

Before founding Tea Drops, I worked in Silicon Valley leading digital marketing and market research campaigns for Fortune 100 brands. My own frustration with the labor intensive process of making loose leaf tea at my work desk, inspired me to to rethink how we drink and consume tea. Over the next two years, I experimented with various tea properties and developed Tea Drops. I patented the process and in 2015, I left my corporate life in Silicon Valley to build Tea Drops.

Tea Drops can be found in over 2,000 retail stores nationwide, as well as online. We have been featured on Forbes, Good Morning America, and Oprah Magazine as well as loved by female giants like Chrissy Teigen, Tory Burch, and Michelle Obama, but the true source of pride for me is our community and human connections fostered by magical tea moments.
