Starting my career in luxury hospitality, I was out to build something big. As a professional wine sommelier and service leader, it was my dream to own a successful restaurant one day.

That journey required long hours, sleepless nights, working nights, weekends and holidays.

At the time I was surviving off of 5-6 cups of coffee a day which did little to help my already existing anxiety, insomnia, digestion and sleep challenges.

I knew I couldn’t keep up at the pace forever, but I wasn’t going to give up. I had to learn new ways to take care of myself so that I could reach my full potential and continue building a career and life that I loved.

That's when I was introduced to tea. I found rooibos for sleep,maté for energy, botanicals like moringa to calm my nerves,matcha to give me a boost of antioxidants to keep colds at bay, the list goes on. Each blend I discovered felt like a piece of a puzzle to building my ultimate life.

I began sharing my experience, and formulating my own blends with herbs and ingredients that would further enhance the results of the base blend. It was during this time, I became a certified tea sommelier, falling in love with the intersection of functionality & science between tea and botantics.

I’m still that same ambitious person I was when I started my career in hospitality, and I want you to have the tools that I found to reach their full potential. In work, in family, in partnership. Everyone deserves the support to live and lead their ultimate lives. That's why we create functional tea and botanical infused essentials at tease.
