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").
Drink to your health!
Simply put, tea is just plain good for you!
With so many potential health benefits, there’s never been a better time to put the kettle on. But which type of tea is for you? Let’s find out:
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.

Chain Gang All Stars: A Novel
Our September Book-of-the-Month
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A READ WITH JENNA BOOK CLUB PICK • Two top women gladiators fight for their freedom within a depraved private prison system not so far-removed from America’s own in this explosive, hotly-anticipated debut novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Friday Black
“Like Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Adjei-Brenyah’s book presents a dystopian vision so…illuminating that it should permanently shift our understanding of who we are and what we’re capable of doing.” —The Washington Post
“This book will change you!...A masterpiece.” —Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show’s #ReadWithJenna
by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah (Author)
“An act of protest…in a voice that belongs only to Adjei-Brenyah, who bends the lurid into the lyrical—pretty words about hideous deeds. Some of his best fight sentences sound as if Joe Rogan had fallen into a trance and assumed the diction and rhythms of Toni Morrison. If you recoil at that unholy fusion, that’s kind of the point; and the author keeps pulling off this shock, page after page…There’s more than a little George Saunders in these high jinks…The novel is a thorough display of authorial control…As the plot careers forward, Adjei-Brenyah uses footnotes as tethers between fiction and reality, reminding us that his gladiatorial farce is just a little tragicomic leap from an extant American horror…The society in which [these characters] live defines them by their worst deeds, but the writer of this novel refuses to.”
