David Rio Chai Tea Latte

David Rio is a premier chai tea company based in San Francisco, California. Established in 1996 by Rio Miura and David Scott Jaeger, the brand was initially focused on high-quality tea, coffee, and accessories before evolving into a globally recognized leader in the premium chai category. The company is well-known for naming its diverse chai blends after endangered or vulnerable species, such as Tiger Spice Chai and Elephant Vanilla Chai, reflecting their commitment to animal welfare and conservation.

All David Rio products are primarily manufactured and blended in the United States, specifically in California. The ingredients, including tea, spices, and honey, are sourced from various regions around the world to maintain their distinct flavor profiles. Despite its international reach—being available in over 50 countries—David Rio remains an independent, family-owned business, maintaining its headquarters and production oversight within the U.S.
