In a market flooded with traditional flavors and conventional tea-making practices, Bahari Teas, founded by the Kenyan brother-sister duo, Sahil and Riya Radia, is making waves across the United States with their unique and refreshing tea blends. Born out of a deep-rooted passion for their Kenyan heritage and a desire to share the rich tea culture of their homeland, Bahari Teas offers a collection of teas that are not just beverages but an experience that transports tea enthusiasts to the heartland of Kenya.
A Journey from Kenya to the US Tea Tables
The story of Bahari Teas began in Kenya, where Sahil and Riya were inspired by the local entrepreneurs and the vibrant tea culture. Determined to bring a piece of their homeland to the global stage, they embarked on a journey to curate a collection of teas that would honor the traditions and flavors of Kenya. Their dedication to quality and authenticity has led to the creation of a brand that stands out in the crowded tea market.
Bahari Teas is not just another tea company. It is a family-owned business that prides itself on producing 100% natural teas, rich in antioxidants, with no added sugar. Their collection includes both ready-to-drink (RTD) iced teas and dry teas, crafted from leaves grown under the perfect conditions on a single farm in Kenya. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that each cup of Bahari Tea is a true reflection of the heritage and soul of Kenya.
Innovating the Tea Experience
One of the key differentiators for Bahari Teas is their innovative approach to flavors. Moving away from the traditional and often mundane tea flavors, Sahil and Riya have introduced a range of unique blends that challenge the status quo. Their Purple Iced Tea with pomegranate and orange, and the Farmer’s Mocktail with tomato and basil, are just a few examples of their creativity. These flavors not only offer a refreshing taste but also showcase the untapped potential of tea bi-products, an area that Bahari Teas is keen to explore further.
Bringing Kenyan Tea Culture to the Forefront
When it comes to specialty tea, countries like Japan often come to mind. However, Sahil and Riya are on a mission to change this perception and introduce the world to the rich tea culture of Kenya. Through Bahari Teas, they aim to highlight the unique flavors and traditions of their homeland, offering a taste of Kenya that is both unique and delicious.

Their commitment to quality, innovation, and authenticity has not only put them on the map in the US tea market but has also allowed them to share a piece of Kenya with the world.
As Bahari Teas continues to grow and expand its collection, Sahil and Riya remain dedicated to their mission of revolutionizing the tea industry and making Kenyan tea a beloved choice for tea lovers everywhere. With their unique flavors and commitment to their heritage, Bahari Teas is truly a testament to the passion and entrepreneurship of the Radia siblings.
