At the crossroads of tradition and modernity, Dancing Leaf is more than a tea brand. It’s a lifestyle, a philosophy and a celebration of wellness. Founded in 2013 by Nandini Mehta, a passionate tea sommelier, the brand was born out of a love for the timeless ritual of tea and a commitment to creating a luxurious, health-focused experience.

Nandini Mehta envisioned Dancing Leaf as a sanctuary for tea lovers — a place where the finest blends from around the world meet the elegance of carefully curated teaware. Her passion for health and well-being is infused into every product, from the thoughtfully sourced teas to the meticulously designed teaware. Nandini’s expertise ensures that every sip of Dancing Leaf tea is a journey of sensory delight, balance and wellness.
