What's your business, and who are your customers?
Bringing people together through tea.

Our goal is to infuse tea into every aspect of your life! In a way that is enjoyable, tasty, hydrating, and healthy.
Tell us about yourself
I fell in love with tea after attending a World Tea Expo in Atlanta. I wanted to provide a product that would enhance, benefit and improve the lives and health of others as well as myself and my family.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Happy, satisfied, loyal customers who sell your business to all who will listen.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
For me, it was finding my niche.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- I've always believed that the individual gifts we all are given are meant to be used in society.
- Focus on a main product or service.
- If you are not already, become a giver, whether its time, money, knowledge, or whatever you have to give.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
