Give & Tea

Teas that power brighter futures for young people across East Africa.

Give & Tea is a Kenyan-founded, Cambridge-based tea company with a simple mission: to meaningfully impact as many lives as possible. Specialising in loose-leaf and bagged blends from around the world, this community interest company channels 100% of its profits into grassroots initiatives in Kenya and Tanzania, supporting young people and their communities to thrive.

Education is at the heart of their work. From school supplies and scholarships to vocational training for women and young adults, Give & Tea backs lifelong learning as a route to independence. But opportunity requires more than a classroom. That’s why they lay the groundwork for safe, healthy futures through clean drinking water, essential healthcare and meals. Just four cups of tea funds a day’s worth of meals for a child.

Give & Tea also invests in sustainability projects that build for the long term – like tree planting and clean cooking alternatives. Each project is delivered through trusted, local partners, from a youth-led creative hub in Nairobi’s Kibera to a rural orphanage in northern Tanzania.

All packaging is paper-based and home compostable, and every tea bag is 100% biodegradable, so the products are as planet-friendly as they are people-focused.

So whether you’re brewing a bold Kenyan black or winding down with a soothing chamomile, Give & Tea invites you to pour with purpose.

Meet The Founder

Kenyan-born Natasha Mehta grew up with a strong sense of community – shaped by her Indo-Kenyan heritage and a home where chai was more than a drink, it was a daily ritual of connection and care.

After relocating to the UK, Natasha became a chartered accountant and built an 11-year career in corporate finance. But despite her success, her heart remained firmly rooted in East Africa. She organised fundraisers, led corporate social impact projects and sought out ways to give back – but still felt something was missing.

It was a 2019 work trip to Malawi that changed everything. Confronted with the urgent realities facing local communities, Natasha realised she could no longer separate her career from her purpose. When doors into the charity sector didn’t open, she created her own opportunity and launched Give & Tea, a social enterprise steeped in purpose and driven by the same values that shaped her childhood.
