From Hustle to Making Tea

Hi there! I’m Josh, and along with my wife, Arlene, we embarked on a journey to create Mahal Tea Company. Our iced teas are more than just drinks—they’re a reflection of our story, one of seeking balance and savoring life’s simple pleasures.

I once thrived in the fast-paced world of tech, but the constant hustle started to take a toll. I found myself losing touch with my mental health and the people I love. When burnout and stress hit hard, I knew something had to change. That’s when I discovered yoga and meditation, and it was like flipping a switch—suddenly, slowing down and finding joy were my new goals.

Arlene and I realized we weren’t alone in this quest for calm and connection, so we decided to share something that's both personal and refreshing: iced teas infused with the vibrant Southeast Asian fruit flavors we grew up loving. These flavors, often missing in the market, bring a delightful twist to our drinks.

With Arlene’s knack for crafting deliciously healthy blends, we use premium tea leaves and a touch of sweetness to create beverages that are both refreshing and nurturing. Mahal Tea is about finding those moments of peace, whether you’re enjoying it solo or with friends, old and new.

We hope our iced teas add a bit of tranquility and zest to your day. Thanks for joining us on this adventure. Here’s to finding joy in every sip.

Warmly, Josh & Arlene
