History

The company was founded on 13 May 1986 by Rahim Afshar and his brothers, and is named after their father. [4] [1]

Ahmad Tea distributes to over 80 countries on six continents, where it can be found in selected restaurants, hotels, specialty shops as well as some chains. [5] Ahmad Tea’s headquarters also contains a tea museum, which attracts local guests. [6] Ahmad Tea earned over 20 Great Taste Awards for various products. [7]

In 2012, in partnership with U Support charity, Ahmad Tea donated its range of teas to ChariTeas, a branded tea room in Hampshire, whose proceeds go to supporting disabled children. [8] In 2013, Ahmad Tea was awarded the ethical investor of the year award for its charitable initiatives in the UK and support of orphanages in Mali, Russia, Sri Lanka and Ukraine. [9]
