Bringing bold flavor and rich storytelling to our Taste of Diversity 2026 lineup! 🍵✨

Laahe joins us on Grant Street with loose leaf chai kits and handcrafted spice bottles rooted in Indian tea and food traditions. Founded by Abir, an Indian-born, Buffalo-based entrepreneur, Laahé is inspired by a lifelong connection to the flavors of Northeast India where tea, spices, and superfoods are a way of life, not just trends.

From Assam’s bold black tea to family recipes and Indigenous ingredients passed down through generations, Laahé brings a deeply personal story of culture, memory, and home into every blend.

More than a product line, Laahé is an invitation to experience Assam’s tea culture and culinary heritage in a modern, intentional way, one cup and one dish at a time.
