Our Story

Tea has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve sitting at the table with my grandmother, sipping tea and listening to her stories about her travels around the world. Those moments sparked two lifelong passions: a deep love for tea and an insatiable curiosity about the world.

In 2019, my partner Nikki and I took a leap of faith, boarding a one-way flight to Asia. We spent months backpacking through the countryside, visiting tea houses and wandering through sprawling tea fields. It was there, amidst the lush landscapes and centuries-old tea traditions, that my connection to tea deepened in a way I hadn’t imagined. We learned firsthand about the cultivation, processing, and artistry behind every leaf, and it felt like the culmination of a journey that had started years earlier.

When we returned to the U.S., I knew I had to share this passion with others. I dedicated myself to sourcing the highest quality teas and ingredients, expanding my knowledge of herbalism to create blends that not only tasted exceptional but also aligned with my holistic intention for each blend. And so, Appalachian DiviniTEA was born.

Today, we’re thrilled to share these carefully crafted blends with you, inviting you to experience the same love for tea that has shaped our journey. Join us in Creating Magic In Every Cup. Steep On!
