Our Founders
We sell only the highest quality teas in our effort to reconnect you to Mother Earth.
Flora - Our Inspiration (1935 - 2012)
Brave and resourceful, Flora came to the mainland, U.S. as a lone teenager determined to make a way for her mother and siblings to follow. Through hard work, determination, and sometimes sheer will, she was able to succeed in her goal of bringing her family over to join her in her new home, where they settled down and built a better life for themselves. Sweet, loving, supportive, and dedicated to the ideals of family and entrepreneurship, Flora also had a reputation for toughness and fearlessness. She valued tea for it's medicinal properties and health benefits.
Oriana - Our Founder (1982 - 2019)
Oriana was practically a carbon-copy of her grandmother, Flora. Sweet-natured, caring, empathic and always concerned about the spiritual, emotional, and even physical needs of others. She was often seen ministering to patients, nurses, doctors, administrative personnel, and even the chaplains at various hospitals and nursing homes. She was fun-loving as well, and used to regale her family and friends with tales of her adventures. She was also a bonafide diva with a discerning taste in food, fashion, and friends.
Kinds of Teas we sell
Black Tea
Black tea is a type of tea that is more oxidized than green, oolong, and white teas. All four types are made from the leaves of the shrub Camellia sinensis.
Black tea is generally stronger in flavor than the less oxidized teas. Two principal varieties of the species are used – the small-leaved Chinese variety plant (C. sinensis subsp. sinensis), used for most other types of teas, and the large-leaved Assamese plant (C. sinensis subsp. assamica), which was traditionally mainly used for black tea, although in recent years some green and white have been produced
Green Tea
Green tea is made solely from the leaves of Camellia sinensis that have undergone minimal oxidation during processing.
Green tea originates in China and has become associated with many cultures throughout Asia. It has recently become more widespread in the West, where black tea is traditionally consumed. Many varieties of green tea have been created in countries where they are grown. These varieties can differ substantially due to variable growing conditions, horticulture, production processing, and harvesting time.
Herbal Tea
Herbal tea, tisane or ptisan, is an herbal or plant infusion, and not usually made from the leaves of the tea bush Camellia sinensis.
Like brews made of the tea bush, such infusions are prepared by combining hot water and fruits, leaves, roots or grains. The resulting drink can be served hot or cold. Herbal tea has been used for nearly as long as written history extends.
Pu-erh Tea
Pu-erh tea, also known as Pu-er tea, is a variety of post-fermented teas produced in Yunnan Province, China.
Post-fermentation is a tea production style in which the tea leaves undergo a microbial fermentation process after they are dried and rolled. This is a Chinese specialty and is sometimes referred to as dark, or black tea (this type of tea is completely different from what in West is known as "black tea", which in China is called "red tea").

Benefits of green tea - Green tea has been found to boost the performance of the liver, and prevent arthritis by strengthening bones.
Benefits of black tea - While green tea often grabs the health headlines, black tea also possesses many of the health benefits mentioned above.

Brown Girl Dreaming
Our December Book-of-the-Month
"Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson’s highly lauded collection of free-verse poems about her childhood in New York and South Carolina, has language simple enough to be accessible to tweens and young teenagers and more than enough complexity to engage older readers. The winner of a Newbery Honor, NAACP Image Award, National Book Award and Coretta Scott King Award, Brown Girl Dreaming presents the story of Woodson’s experiences living with the remnants of Jim Crow during the 1960s and 1970s. The author confronts issues like faith, racism and sexual abuse using the elegant, spare language and powerful imagery she has come to be known for." —TIME MAGAZINE
by Jacqueline Woodson (Author)
* “The effect of this confiding and rhythmic memoir is cumulative, as casual references blossom into motifs and characters evolve from quick references to main players. . . . Revealing slices of life, redolent in sight, sound, and emotion. . . . Woodson subtly layers her focus, with history and geography the background, family the middle distance, and her younger self the foreground. . . . Eager readers and budding writers will particularly see themselves in the young protagonist and recognize her reveling in the luxury of the library and unfettered delight in words. . . . A story of the ongoing weaving of a family tapestry, the following of an individual thread through a gorgeous larger fabric, with the tacit implication that we’re all traversing such rich landscapes. It will make young readers consider where their own threads are taking them.”—The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, STARRED REVIEW
