WHO WE ARE
David Rio was built on the idea that a great product should deliver more than great taste. It should be crafted with intention, made with ingredients that create a memorable cup, and guided by values that reach beyond the product itself.
From our signature chai blends to matcha, tea, and specialty beverages, every product reflects a commitment to quality, consistency, and care. That same commitment extends into our conservation work, our community partnerships, and the David Rio Foundation, where the purpose behind the brand continues to grow.
The David Rio Foundation
Since the beginning, David Rio has believed that great tea should be made with care for the people who enjoy it, the communities connected to it, and the natural world that inspires it. That belief led to the creation of the David Rio Foundation, a dedicated effort to support conservation, sustainability, and meaningful community impact.
Through partnerships and programs focused on wildlife protection, habitat preservation, and community-led conservation, the Foundation helps bring David Rio’s values to life in a larger way. It is a reflection of who we are beyond the products we make: a company guided by craft, compassion, and responsibility.
