By utilizing creative marketing strategies, the company has managed to garner an impressive customer-base, including the hit show, DWTS and Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, California. But despite the company’s list of celebrity customers, it maintains its core values of quality, integrity, and curiosity and continues to grow steadily even in this uncertain economy.
Tea Entrepreneur, Naja Hayward began her love affair with the leaf as a young girl being raised in Los Angeles by a tea-loving, yoga-practicing grandmother who was an entrepreneur ahead of her time. It was after the loss of her job in 2008 that Hayward took a leap of faith and Naja Tea was born.
“So often we make a plan and set goals and then something unexpected happens that changes the course of our path. Losing my job was the catalyst to get me to follow my passion as an entrepreneur.”
Becoming the tea of choice for one of televisions top shows was a serendipitous moment in itself. As an adventurer and hiking enthusiast, Hayward organized a trail hike with a group of friends and, unbeknownst to her, one of the shows caterers was invited by a mutual friend. After tasting the refreshing iced tea that Hayward prepared for the group, the caterer knew right away she wanted to share this tea with the cast and crew of Dancing with the Stars.
Centering on the company mantra of “Live. Be. Experience.”, Naja Tea consistently strives to formulate blends that are delicious, earth-friendly, healthy, and that offer an inviting experience with each sip. Hayward aspires to extend the line into an assortment of tea-infused products and to focus on educating people about the importance of healthy lifestyles through her product line.
Naja Tea retails for between $12.00 and $16.00 and is available online and at select retailers nationwide.
