Founder's Story

 

Tea has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — from childhood tea times and campfire brews to the quiet moments I now share with my own children.

When I couldn’t find organic teas that met my standards for flavor, quality, and purity, I began hand-blending my own — and Nil Organic Tea was born.


Tea has always been a meaningful part of my life.

As a child, my mother shared tea time with my sister and me on special celebratory days. As a teenager rushing out the door late for school, my dad would hand me a mug of tea to keep me focused and alert during classes.

During family camping trips, we brewed tea in the wilderness and sipped it together around a crackling campfire. Over the years, tea became my solace, my energy, and a way to connect—both with myself and with the people I love.

Now, as a mother to two kiddos, I continue that tradition. We share precious teatimes while reading together, creating art, or out in nature on our backpacking trips (yes, I always pack tea, no matter how heavy our packs!). These moments are simple but deeply meaningful—full of presence, attention, and connection.

For me personally, tea has also become part of a lifelong journey of healing anxiety and autoimmune conditions. The ritual of mindfully brewing and sipping tea offers grounding moments throughout my the day—something that nourishes my heart, mind, and body.

Because tea has always been such an important part of my life, when my first daughter was nine months old—and I was nearly pregnant with our second—I began searching for teas that met my standards for flavor, quality, and organic ingredients.

When I couldn’t find teas that offered the delicious, full-bodied flavor and purity I was looking for, I started hand-blending my own so I could guarantee that my family was drinking the very best of every ingredient.

What began as tea crafted for my own family soon grew into something bigger. Friends began asking for the blends I was making, and before long Nil Organic Tea was born—a small family-run tea company dedicated to crafting unique, flavorful blends using only USDA certified organic ingredients.


Thank you for being part of our tea community.
