Our Story

Tea has been a part of my life for as long as I remember. As a kid I would sit at the table with my grandmother and sip various teas as she told me stories about her travels. This instilled two things in me from a young age; a love for tea and a wanderlust. Fast forward to 2019 when my partner, Nikki, and I took a one way flight to Asia. Backpacking around the country side we explored many tea houses and this deepened my passion for tea. We wandered through vast tea fields, learning about the cultivation and processing of the leaves. In these moments, my past and future collided – I could feel my passions coming to fruition. Upon returning to the States a few months later, I had the revelation to share this passion for tea with my community. I began seeking out the best quality ingredients, diving deep into herbalism to find which herbs resonated with my intention for each tea, and perfecting my blends. It is with great pleasure that I can now share this with you through Appalachian DiviniTEA. Steep On!
