NEMI Teas

NEMI Teas began with chai at London food markets. Pranav Chopra established the company in 2015 and developed a business combining tea sales with training and employment for refugees. It now supplies hotels, restaurants, cafes, offices, and catering businesses, with formats designed to serve a cup in very different settings.

The main selection includes fifteen organic whole-leaf blends. They come as loose tea, pyramid bags, or individually wrapped bags, adapting preparation to a teapot, room service, or an office drink station. English Breakfast is part of the shop, alongside collections and accessories for organizing the selection.

The catalog expands to matcha, hojicha, and a chai syrup made with organic black tea and spices. Powders for preparing drinks also come in five-hundred-gram wholesale packs. The company expressly distinguishes its whole-leaf organic certification from matcha and hojicha, which are outside that certification; the distinction applies to individual products.

TRAMPOLINE Teas is the everyday range for higher-volume service. The trade channel covers settings from hotels and pubs to workplaces, event venues, and distributors. For a business, the choice involves more than a recipe: format, presentation, and how often each drink is prepared also matter.

Wholesale purchases are organized through a trade account and have no minimum order quantity, according to NEMI’s published terms. Businesses can request a sample pack, available exclusively to wholesale customers, and discuss supply through a distributor. Consumer shopping has a separate path, with tea and accessories for home brewing.

The social side operates through TRAMPOLINE Cafés and the Changing Journeys program. NEMI explains that it directs more than half its profits toward hospitality training and employment opportunities for refugees. Partnerships with hotel operators, including Accor’s TRIBE, bring that model into everyday tea service in rooms, at breakfast, and in other hospitality settings.

Packaging is part of the offering. The pyramid bags use mesh derived from sugarcane, and the company specifies industrial composting. For NatureFlex wrappers, it describes wood pulp and industrial composting standards. Recyclable or compostable options depend on the component, so materials and their disposal are described separately.
