NefesTea was founded to bring tea — grown with effort and patience on the misty slopes of Rize — to your table without losing anything of its freshness or its story.
On the Black Sea coast, tea is not just a drink; it is a way of life that begins with the first light of morning and is passed down from generation to generation. The hands that carefully pick two leaves and a bud on the slopes are the true owners of every glass.
NefesTea was born out of respect for this effort. We work directly with growers who know every leaf, and we process each harvest without delay and pack it fresh. By removing unnecessary middlemen, we give growers the value their work deserves and bring you genuine Rize tea at its freshest.
In every step we take today, we keep one promise: to be able to tell you, with a clear conscience, where every leaf in your glass comes from, how it is processed and how it reaches you.
"True flavour begins with respect for labour."
To bring tea grown by the hard work of growers on the slopes of Rize to tables through a direct and transparent path — without losing anything of its freshness, purity or story. To offer, in every pack, the assurance of trade that is fair to growers, honest to consumers and respectful to nature.
To elevate Turkish tea from an ordinary drink to a brand of culture and quality; to become the Rize tea brand that is recognised, sought after and trusted in Türkiye and around the world. To be the first choice of every tea lover and the ambassador of Black Sea quality.

At NefesTea, our approach to quality is built on a measurable, traceable and continuously improving management system at every stage of the journey from garden to glass.
