Tea has always been a major part of my life. My mother enjoyed tea time with my sister and I during special celebratory days as a child. Running out the door as a teenager late for school, my dad handed me my mug of tea to keep me focused and alert during classes.
During our family camping trips growing up, we all sipped tea brewed out in the wilderness around a crackling campfire. Drinking tea became my solace, my energy, an avenue of connection to self and loved ones. And now, after continually working through the lifelong process of healing sometimes crippling anxiety, my tea time is truly healing to my heart, mind, and body.
As a mother now to two kiddos, we enjoy precious teatimes together. These moments are cherished and full of undivided attention and connection. I'm very careful about what I drink as I know they will also be sipping it with me.
I researched the health benefits of my cabinet full of tea, and my findings were both shocking and discouraging.
Determined to keep our precious tea time, I started hand-blending my own in order to guarantee my family drank the purest of every ingredient.
But I wanted more than just a healthy, delicious, 100% organic tea -- I wanted it make a real difference in the world.
