Wangu Mureithi, a British-Kenyan woman who made a powerful decision a few years ago. She packed her bags and moved back to Kenya—not for a vacation, but to follow her passion and launch something close to her heart: a tea brand called Maison Chai.
Now, with her growing brand Maison Chai Ltd., Wangu is showing the world the beauty of returning to your roots and building something meaningful. Maison Chai is more than just tea. It is a celebration of Kenyan culture, traditions, and flavors. Wangu’s brand is all about storytelling through taste, and every cup of her tea represents the richness of African heritage.
Wangu grew up in the UK, but her Kenyan background always stayed with her. When she returned to Kenya, she found inspiration in the local tea farms, the land, and the people. That’s when she decided to create a tea company that connects the world to the beauty of Kenyan tea.
Maison Chai focuses on quality, sustainability, and authenticity. Wangu works closely with local farmers to make sure her teas are fresh, organic, and ethically sourced. Her tea blends are carefully crafted to reflect Kenya’s natural flavors and rich history. From classic chai to unique herbal infusions, Maison Chai offers a taste of home in every sip.
Her story is inspiring, powerful, and something the mainstream media rarely shows—Black women building businesses, going back to their roots, and creating change from the ground up.
Wangu Mureithi is proof that success doesn’t have to mean leaving your home country. Sometimes, it means going back and using your knowledge, passion, and skills to uplift your community and share your culture with the world.
