Buddha Teas

Carlsbad, CA

Buddha Teas is a natural products brand from Carlsbad, CA with 10 products on Beacon Discovery, mostly shelf stable tea. 7 are Certified Non-GMO and 1 Certified Organic, and its range is distributed by UNFI, KeHE and Other.

The founder of Buddha Teas, John Boyd, moved to the US from England, where tea is the drink of choice. Since his relocation, he commonly found that the US lacked the diversity and purity he was looking for. John wanted something healthy, organic, pure, with options geared towards people who are seeking relief from certain health issues. What the entire industry lacked, became a motivation for John. With a desire to create an expanded selection for tea lovers seeking also seeking purity, John became inspired to develop a tea company to fill the gap. He approached his longtime business partner, Nicholas Marier, with an idea to launch an unadulterated, healthy tea company. They teamed up, gathered an exceptional group of talent, and in 2006, Buddha Teas was born.
