46 | LUXlife Magazine Luxury Organic Tea Company of the Year 2023 - USA Often referred to as the ‘Ralph Lauren of Tea’, Charles & Company is the USA’s answer to the outcry for luxury organic tea. Though its beginnings were humble, the company quickly thrived into a tea business that would go on to serve celebrity chefs, celebrities, Malibu Farms, Four Seasons Resorts, and Nobu Hotels across the globe. Charles & Company seeks to celebrate the romantic tradition of British tea, and does so by offering a modern luxury that truly captures the meaning of timelessness. Join us as we explore the company’s history – one that’s as rich as the splendidly organic teas it offers – and how this history has helped it to bring people of all backgrounds together. Centred around luxury, Charles & Company is a tea company that prioritises the drinking experience. As such, it has spent its years honing its flavours to deliver quality tastes that hold the power to unify all manner of individuals. Regardless of their palate, Charles & Company offers people the chance to sample luxurious bliss, whether it’s sipped from fine china, or from a humble household mug. Establishing a sense of community is paramount, and it’s this very characteristic that kickstarted the company’s ascent to worldwide renown. At its heart, Charles & Company has always been about one thing – sharing time with the most important people in your life over a piping cup of luxurious tea. However, Charles & Company didn’t always possess a worldwide reach. In the beginning, it was Lawrence Charles, his mountain bike, and his tea against the world. He would go door to door throughout the Santa Monica mountains in California, offering a new tea drinking experience to the people of the local area. From day one, Charles & Company has been about capturing the hearts of the wider community, allowing them to come together to give these new tea tastes a try. Even though the company has grown exceptionally since these humble times, it has never once lost sight of how it began. Charles & company has made it abundantly clear that, no matter what, its teas will always serve to create bridges between families, friends, and strangers alike. In Lawrence Charles’ own words – “In the world of Charles & Company, everyone is a dignitary who has earned the reward of a relaxing, invigorating cup of the world’s finest tea.” Whether this includes the everyday person, or celebrities and royalty who are after a little extra luxury, Charles & Company has dedicated itself to quality, organic tea recipes that hold no equal. This stems from Lawrence’s innate admiration for the luxury brands that came before him – ones that would consistently go above and beyond to redefine their industries in the most lavish ways. Combining their inspiration with the new, modern outlook of luxury, Charles & Company has already started to tread down the path to becoming the world’s best tea. Though it’s determined to be a premier brand within its market, Charles & Company remains focused on constantly echoing its founding sentiment. If you’re down, you have a cup of tea. If you’re visiting a loved one, you have a cup of tea. If you need a little warmth to fill you from the inside, you have a cup of tea. No matter the situation, tea holds the power to help people escape from their troubles, so why not indulge? Charles & Company has designed its luxury organic teas to revive and reconnect communities, with its flavours able to evoke a sense of ‘everything will be okay’. As we step into 2024, Charles & Company seems to have devised some exciting plans that we’re definitely looking forward to. From product launches, to plans to host its major polo event ‘The Charles & Company Classic’, the company has its sights set on further helping bring people together. Its work has already touched the lives of so many, and we’re excited to see how its upcoming events change the lives of inner city kids throughout Santa Barbara.
