Our Story
Black Owned
Not Your Mother’s Tea was created with us in mind. As a tea lover, I wanted something intentional—something that wasn’t just another option on the shelf but an experience rooted in quality, culture, and care.
This brand is about more than tea. It’s about slowing down, embracing softness, and indulging in something that feels as good as it tastes. Every blend is crafted for those who move with intention, take up space, and deserve a little luxury in their day.
I started NYMT because I believe you should know what you’re drinking and, more importantly, you deserve the best—not dust, not flakes, and definitely not some mystery blend with a fancy label (no shade)
Whether you're starting your day with a bold black tea or winding down with a soothing herbal blend, know that every sip is made with love, intention, and an invitation to pause.
Pour yourself some luxury.
​
With love, Cha-nai.
