Stories to Inspire You: Chi Nguyen of Purpose Tea

Chi Nguyen is founder of Purpose Tea, a company that creates delicious and healthy purple tea beverages that consumers love, but whose purpose extends beyond the impact on the customer. They reach as far as the small tea farms to give female tea pickers the opportunity for economic empowerment so they can improve their lives. Chi wants her daughter and the women of the world to enjoy the same benefit of this inclusive spirit. Because there are numerous barriers to women and girls that prevent them from reaching their full potential, she has decided to combine her love of tea and her passion for improving lives by creating a social enterprise focused on empowering the most vulnerable citizens in the poorest communities in the world: female tea pickers.
