Several years ago, some of the Georgian tea lovers were gathered in the village and decided to contribute to the revival of Georgian tea.

Mziani Group was founded in 2007. In this period, the Mziani tea factory was purchased. The aim of the group was to revive tea production in mountainous villages of Guria including: creating new jobs at the base of Mziani tea factory; purchasing  green tea from the local population; assisting population in the rehabilitation of plantations; realisation of high quality black and green bay tea on the local market; exporting.
