The Spark Behind Tasseoz: A Journey of Local Flavor
It all began with a gift—a small packet of instant chai from abroad. As I opened it, a familiar scent filled the air. The spices inside, I realized, were from Sri Lanka.
But here’s where things started to change. At that time, Sri Lanka was facing a major economic crisis, and supply chains were severely disrupted. As I looked at the packet, a question kept repeating in my mind: Why am I relying on something from abroad when the spices I need are right here, at home?.
That moment of realization was a turning point. With everything happening around us, it didn’t make sense anymore to depend on international suppliers. Why not create something original, something uniquely Sri Lankan, that brings together the flavors of our island in a way no one had thought of before?
And just like that, a new idea took root. I didn’t have all the answers right away, but I knew one thing for sure: We could do this better with what’s right here. Instead of searching elsewhere, I started experimenting with local spices and thinking about how to craft a chai blend that would not only be sustainable but also give back to the farmers and communities that made it all possible.
And so, Tasseoz was born—not just as a brand, but as a movement to bring Sri Lanka’s flavors to the world. Every blend tells the story of local craftsmanship, hard work, and a deep connection to the land.
Tasseoz isn’t just about chai; it’s about resilience, sustainability, and celebrating what’s truly ours. With every cup, I invite you to join me on this journey to make the world a little more flavorful, one sip at a time.
