Melez is a artisan tea label founded by Liliana and Emre Aslanoba. Our collaboration started with a selection of 5 different teas and than expanded to other selections. From the words of Liliana the collection's story as is told:
'We live in a world where walls are continuously erected, where differences are condemned and where hatred is propagated. But we still believe in the goodness of humanity, in celebrating our differences and tearing down the walls that separate us. This is the essence of melez. Meaning mestizo or from mixed races, melez was inspired by Istanbul, a melting pot of cultures and credos. This collection is a reminder that every culture has something unique and beautiful to be celebrated; it is a hymn to the world’s wide array of exquisite colors, traditions and stories.'
