A loan of $15,000 helps a sustainable tea company increase production capacity and invest in needed machinery.

Souzan's story
I grew up in a culture where tea was always around. My mom made tea for us every day, and I still remember our home filled with its aroma. When I moved to the U.S. in 2000, I saw tea bags for the first time—the aroma was flat, the taste was weak, and I later learned that many big tea bag brands can release microplastics into the body. That is how TeaVoila was born.
I’m the founder of TeaVoila. I’m also a firm believer that the world doesn’t need more products — what it does need is better solutions to existing problems. So as founder of TeaVoila my goal is to make a difference by providing quality solutions to existing problems, ensuring good health and a clean environment. So, here’s how we plan to address some crucial issues damaging health and our environment.
