We donate time, ideas, and a part of our profits to the communities where we work, live and do business. We take great care in selecting sustainable and ethically grown and harvested teas that are among the finest in the world. zakti sources tea from small, family owned farms and larger plantations growing exceptional, specialty teas. In addition to providing distinctive teas, zakti also offers training in tea preparation and service and, in 2013, we will be expanding our website to include unique tea accessories, including hand made, artisan tea bowls.

It is this experience that we endeavor to bring to you through zakti, the culture of tea.
