Happy Tummy: This blend is to help with digestion and bloating. It is our best-seller in the herbal tea line up and is a great herbal tea (no caffeine) to help with stomach aches as well. If someone asks whether the peppermint will overpower the tea - it will not - you will get a good balance of chamomile and peppermint. Taste notes: Citrus, herbal, mint.
-
Golden Touch: This blend is our second best seller and was crafted to help as a pick-me-up when you feel under the weather. With immunity boosting ingredients like turmeric, ginger, etc. - this is a great blend as the weather starts to change. It is great both hot or iced. In fact, sometimes when we make it iced - we add a bit of soda water to the tea so it tastes like a starbucks refresher. If someone asks whether the roses will overpower the tea - they will not - taste wise, you will get a good balance of lemongrass, turmeric and ginger and the roses will just calm the flavour down. Taste notes: Herbal, floral, spice.
-
Hormone Balance: This also is on our top three best sellers in the herbal blends. We created this blend with a local naturopathic doctor along with Sanjay (our mentor) who brought on a nutritionist to create the perfect recipe. This blend is mainly designed for women but anybody can drink it! The purpose is to aid in balancing hormones no matter where one might be in their journey of womanhood! I wouldn't call this an everyday tea and would recommend having it on and off (as in for a week or two and then taking a break and then starting again and then taking a break, etc.) so that your body does not get used to the herbs to the point they have no affect.Taste notes: Herbal and fruity.
About Venya Teas
Venya Teas is a female-led brand that I launched during lockdown with the support of my family—primarily my mother, which in a way, I guess makes us a mother-daughter team! As someone coming from an Indian background, almost every gathering starts and ends with a cup of tea, making it the centerpiece of many memorable conversations. Tea has always been something that brings people together, and growing up, my grandmother and mother both had and shared their own tea recipes for any kind of ailment - whether it was just a tummy ache or you had a cold - there was no doubt some variation of tea being blended and brewed.
So, when we decided it was time to start a business, creating wellness teas felt like the natural choice. We had two goals in mind: first, to challenge the perception that tea is “boring” or just for older people. We wanted to show that tea doesn’t have to be just plain orange pekoe—it can be vibrant, modern, and exciting. Second, we wanted to create teas that supported health, wellness, and joy. Venya is a Sanskrit word that means "to love" or "to wish for," and that’s exactly what we aim to create—teas that people will love and wish for.
Each blend is carefully made with high-quality, loose leaf ingredients and we like to say, wish a splash of love too.
To help us bring our vision to life, we started to work with world-renowned tea sommelier Sanjay Guha from day 1. Sanjay has bene part of the tea industry for decades and has worked with major tea brands like Lipton and Twinings. With his expertise and mentorship, we created purposeful blends such as our Happy Tummy and Golden Touch, which you’ll see in stores. He has been instrumental in connecting us with tea estates from where we can source quality tea leaves and partners from whom we can source quality ingredients. As we expanded our line, Sanjay continued to guide us in developing our wellness blends. For our Hormone Balance tea, for example, he collaborated with a naturopathic doctor and a nutritionist to ensure the blend contained the right ingredients.
We also wanted to share different blends with our community - some that you may never have seen before - such as the spiced green tea that is part of the gift boxes. That tea is actually one of the oldest green tea recipes to come out of Kashmir, India! And of course, we couldn't stop and not bring on an authentic masala chai to our mix - as our way of celebrating the culture - also part of the gift boxes!
Beyond our passion for tea, we’re also committed to supporting women through every part of our business. Our entire network—from our tea and accessory partners to almost all of our suppliers—are women-owned businesses. We believe in creating opportunities and amplifying the impact of female entrepreneurs, who inspire and strengthen our journey every day. For us, it’s about sharing our love of tea with a community that values quality, wellness, and empowerment.
