Tea Zakare

A Global Journey of Flavors and Inspirations

Since its inception in 2018, Tea Zakare has been more than just a tea brand—it is a celebration of discovery, culture, and the art of blending. Each Tea Zakare blend tells a story of journeys across continents, with ingredients sourced from some of the most breathtaking and culturally rich regions on Earth. Our founder Elena Zakare’s passion for clean and natural ingredients, and her background in biochemistry, have guided this journey, creating teas that reflect the harmony of tradition and innovation. Let’s explore how Tea Zakare’s signature ingredients were shaped by an extraordinary global adventure.

The Origins: From Curiosity to Creation

The journey began with a simple curiosity: What if tea could encapsulate the essence of the places it came from? This question led to travels across Asia, Europe, Australia, and beyond, with each destination inspiring new flavors and blends.

Scotland: Birthplace of the Highland Blend

In 2022, Tea Zakare’s journey began from the rugged beauty of Scotland’s Highlands and islands. From the shores of Loch Ness to the storied halls of Dunrobin Castle, the journey through Scotland inspired a blend as timeless as the landscapes.

The Isles of Mull and Iona offered tranquility, while the Orkney Islands revealed ancient secrets, from the Ring of Brodgar to Skara Brae. Even the dramatic Glenfinnan Viaduct and Eilean Donan Castle contributed to the vision of what would become the Highland Blend in 2023. Its robust, earthy notes pay homage to Scotland’s mystic allure and rich history.

Asia: The Heart of Tea Tradition

Asia has always been a cornerstone of Tea Zakare’s blends. The lush tea plantations of Japan, the breathtaking islands of South Korea, the highlands of Sri Lanka, and Nepal’s Himalayan foothills provided some of the finest leaves and traditions. From India’s Darjeeling and Assam estates came the base for many of Tea Zakare’s black teas, their bold flavors resonating with the spirit of their origins.

Australia and New Zealand: Fresh Perspectives

New Zealand’s pristine air and Australia’s diverse botanicals added freshness to Tea Zakare’s portfolio. Their influence is evident in the herbal infusions, featuring bright, floral notes that evoke the purity of these lands.

Europe: The Essence of Elegance

Tea Zakare’s journey through Europe led to remarkable discoveries. In Sicily, Provence, and Normandy, we found inspiration in Mediterranean herbs, lavender fields, and citrus groves. Ireland’s verdant landscapes and the UK’s tea heritage enhanced our understanding of robust black teas, adding richness to the Tea Zakare’s blends. Switzerland’s alpine meadows offered ingredients for delicate, soothing herbal teas, capturing the serenity of the mountains.

The Bold Flavors of Africa and Canada

Africa’s fertile soils provided rooibos and bold black teas, essential to some of our signature blends, while Canada’s wild terrains inspired teas with earthy, grounding flavors. These regions showcased nature’s raw power, resulting in teas that reflect boldness and resilience.

Crafting Stories Through Ingredients

Tea Zakare’s mission is to tell a story in every sip. Whether it’s the herbal serenity of Swiss meadows or the smoky robustness of Highland inspiration, each blend is a snapshot of the places that inspired it. From the moment you brew a cup, you’re transported to these places, connecting with their spirit and history. 

As Tea Zakare continues to explore the world, we remain dedicated to the sourcing and the celebration of diverse cultures. Each ingredient is carefully selected, reflecting not just the land it comes from but also the people and traditions that nurture it.

Tea Zakare is more than tea—it’s a journey of flavors, stories, and connections.
