Loutaya: A Tribute to Tradition and Love

Loutaya traces its roots back to a beautiful blend of love, tradition, and passion.

 

Founded by a young couple, the journey began with the shared dreams and aspirations of a Congolese husband and his South African wife.

​

It all started with the husband's deep-rooted love for health and wellness. Born in the heart of Brazzaville, he grew up surrounded by the natural abundance of the land, where traditional remedies and herbal teas were cherished for their healing properties.

 

Inspired by his upbringing and a desire to share the goodness of Congolese culture with the world, he envisioned creating a line of teas that would not only tantalize the taste buds but also nourish the body and soul.

Meanwhile, his wife, a tea enthusiast with a penchant for flavors and aromas, shared his vision for crafting something truly special. Together, they embarked on a journey to blend their passions and create something that would honor their heritage while delighting tea lovers worldwide.​In a heartfelt tribute to his late mother, the wife suggested naming the company "Loutaya," a name that carried deep significance and represented the essence of family, tradition, and love.

 

It was a fitting tribute to a woman who had instilled in him a love for his culture and a reverence for nature's gifts.​With dedication and determination, the couple poured their hearts into perfecting the recipes, sourcing the finest organic ingredients from Congo, and ensuring that every aspect of the business reflected their values of authenticity and quality.​

 

Today, Loutaya stands as a testament to their shared vision and commitment to preserving the rich tapestry of Congolese traditions. With each sip of Loutaya, customers not only experience the exquisite flavors and health benefits of Congolese artisanal teas but also feel the warmth of a love story woven into every leaf.​From humble beginnings to a flourishing business, Loutaya Tea continues to honor the legacy of the husband's late mother and celebrate the love that inspired its creation.

 

As they say in Congo, "Kweli ya mapendo na uumbaji," which means "The truth of love is in creation." And indeed, Loutaya Tea is a testament to the truth of their love and the beauty of creation.

"Loutaya has been a game-changer for me!! Especially as someone living with endometriosis. The Bulukututu bliss has become my go-to choice, providing relief during flare-ups. What's more, the option to reuse the tea bags 2-3 times is welcomed by my budget."
