Shafa Blends is a family-run artisan tea and spice shop in Rockville, Maryland. They hand-craft specialty tea, spice, herb, botanical, and salt blends in small batches. Their focus is to create all-natural blends that make their customers better.
Farah and Darioush Zolfagharian, the parents and co-founders of Shafa Blends, have opened up their shop with their family's support. Shafa Blends means "Healing" in Farsi and Arabic, which is the focus of their tea and spice blends. They hope to provide their customers with creations that heal their mind, body, and soul.
This family business launched back in 2015, where they offered specialty teas, spices, and blends in Bethesda, Maryland. They soon noticed that their hand-crafted signature blends were becoming more popular, and their customers were excited about the creativity and uniqueness of each blend. Consequently, in late 2017, the family decided to pivot their business offerings and focus on developing specialty, hand-crafted tea and spice blends. They completely changed their branding, making their new shop called Shafa Blends in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Shafa Brands sell their blends online and in-store, available at farmers' markets, and even expanded their wholesale offerings.
Recently, they moved their shop to Rockville, Maryland after realizing the need for more space while their brand is growing. Due to COVID-19, their store is currently not open for in-person shopping, but customers can shop their specialty products online through their website and at their farmers' markets.
