HISTORY OF NIVAN TEASUN
HISTORY OF
NIVAN TEASUN
Tea is made from tea leaves, water, heat—and conscience.
– Haj Mehdi Hariri
Our story begins with a legacy that shaped not only Iran’s tea industry, but also a documented chapter of global tea history—one defined by influence beyond borders. He remains one of only two Iranians recognized among the world’s 100 most influential figures in the tea industry: Haj Mehdi Hariri.
He was not merely a historical name; he represented a recognized operating philosophy in the tea industry. He embodied everything that carries meaning in the world of tea a rare breadth that encompassed every dimension of the tea industry.
He was, in effect, a symbol of what truly matters in tea: from deep technical knowledge and a precise understanding of the farm, to a clear grasp of the complexities of the global market and steadfast adherence to professional ethics in trade.
Nivan Teasun has continued the same path since 2010
built on the same philosophy and the same principles that form the foundation of our work. We do not remember tea as something that came before work, because our earliest memories—before any professional experience are tied to the dense, warm aroma of tea in the factories managed by Haj Mehdi Hariri. We grew up with tea at the root, to the point that before we can recall ever doing anything other than tea, we had already lived in it. Tea is not merely work for us—it is part of our life and identity.
We began with tea; we did not arrive at it later. Our operating philosophy is rooted in the teachings of Haj Mehdi Hariri a figure who, for us, was not only a founder within the industry, but also an intellectual and ethical mentor. We carry forward the same vision a combination of technical knowledge, integrity in execution, and consistency in quality principles we learned from him and that continue today within the structure of Nivan Teasun. We are not only inheritors of a business, but inheritors of a code of ethics and a professional legacy.
From soil, legacy, and conscience, we build value in the tea supply chain that commands respect across commercial borders. At Nivan Teasun, we stand at the beginning of the global tea chain where quality is formed and trust is built. We do not only produce tea; we guarantee it from origin to port. We are a combination of Gilan origin and global discipline, with unlimited supply capacity and a consistent standard. Every cooperation is tailored— each buyer has their own formula.
