Discover Kepén: A Journey of Flavor and Heritage!

Kepén, pronounced "keh-pen," is a Wayuunaiki word meaning "infusion." Hailing from the heart of Venezuela, where this indigenous language thrives, we bring you an online tea shop that celebrates the artistry and passion of tea.

Every exquisite blend you find here is a labor of love, meticulously crafted by my mother, Omarly Alcina. With over 25 years dedicated to the world of tea, she has transformed her passion into a culinary masterpiece. As her translator and confidante, I've had the privilege of accompanying her on this extraordinary journey, exploring the depths of tea culture together.

From the bustling kitchen of an Italian restaurant to the serene world of tea, my mother's dedication knows no bounds. Each blend on our website is a testament to her expertise and unwavering commitment to quality.

My personal favorite is Armonía, meaning "harmony" in Spanish. Whether enjoyed iced or hot, with a touch of honey and lime, it's a symphony of flavors that never fails to delight me.

Eight years ago, our family embarked on a new chapter, leaving Venezuela for Miami, Florida. This transition marked the birth of our online tea shop, and we're thrilled to share our passion with you.

Thank you for visiting Kepén! We invite you to explore our collections and experience the magic of tea.

Sincerely,
Ingrid Valbuena
