Making Tea A Health Drink With Gardner Street, Rashi Sanghvi
Rashi Sanghvi is the founder of Gardner Street which is an experimental tea company that combines the highest quality whole tea leaves with authentic, full-bodied herbs, flowers, and fruits to create blends that please all of the senses. Each Gardner Street product is flavored with natural, therapeutic ingredients like cinnamon, hibiscus, rose petals, and lemongrass bits, ensuring taste and wellness.
Rashi understood that creating her own business was her true destiny after growing up in a family of business owners. She earned a bachelor’s degree in human resource management from HR College in Mumbai and a master’s degree in business administration from Babson College in Boston.
Sipping a hot cup of tea offers a moment of steadiness in the midst of life’s tumult for Rashi Sanghvi. Rashi used to refer to tea as chai when he was younger. Her time in Boston, however, transformed her perspective on the modest tea. While looking for something nutritious to keep herself warm during the frigid winters, she stumbled into the different flavors and possibilities tea offered. Tea provides her with a moment of peace, as well as the energy and confidence to take the next major step. This is what she wants her customers to feel, and it’s what prompted her to launch Gardner Street, an experimental tea company.
The brand is a specialty tea company that specializes in high-quality whole leaf green and herbal teas. Gardner Street had a preliminary debut in 2015 and was relaunched in February 2017 with a new website. Rashi believes that one is truly what they eat, and that it is therefore critical to understand and be aware of what one puts into one’s body. That’s why the team at Gardner Street selects the highest-quality whole-tea leaves then blends them with natural fruits, flowers, and herbs to achieve the perfect balance of flavor and health.
Gardner Street was one of the first tea bag companies to introduce pyramid tea bags. The distinctive form and use of silken tea bags allow the user to view the components in the blend while also allowing the whole-tea leaves to unfold and reveal all of the hidden flavors and nutrients in the brew without the use of chemical paper or staple pins. While there are unlimited possibilities with tea, Gardner Street concentrates on creating green and herbal tea blends that stand out on two fronts: taste and health.
