Sipping for a Better World

After over a decade working in international development, I witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by women farmers in underserved regions. While aid and small grants provide temporary relief, I realized that what women truly need is access—access to global markets where their talent and high-quality products can thrive.

Talent is everywhere. Opportunity and access are not.

I founded Comptoir BantuDesi to create a brand that connects the wellbeing of consumers with the empowerment of women farmers and artisans.

By offering premium teas like our BulukuTea, Rooibos Ritual, Hibiscus Dream, Serene Blue Infusion, and Soft Bae White Tea, directly sourced from women farmers, we bring you products crafted with care and purpose, while ensuring economic independence and dignity for the women who grow them.

Together, let's sip for a better world!

The Name “BantuDesi” is a blend of two words: Bantu and Desi. They relate to my roots in Africa and India.

I thought it fitting to center our mission around these two continents, my ancestral heritages. The women and people, and the wealth of their knowledge on tea harvesting, align with our vision to create a more just and equitable world. Join us now in this mission!  Verlaine-Diane Soobroydoo, Founder & CEO, Comptoir BantuDesi
