Founder Story

I grew up watching my Persian dad drink multiple cups of black tea a day, his moments of relaxation and energy in moments he wanted to call in stillness. As I grew up, I began to connect with my pachamama like mother, or in other words, plant-adoring and nature-connected, over the beauty and powers of plants.

I found myself at the intersection of the beauty of tea, drinking 5+ cups a day, curious to see what was behind the white tea bag and how was the plant inside was affecting my day to day. 

As I did research, I found myself in awe at the long-lived history of the practice and curious to learn more about the stories behind each plant. I immersed myself in the herbalism community, through herbalism conferences and networks, further deepening my love for the lifestyle - where people use plants to support their health and state of mind. 

I knew I wanted to share more about what I was learning and help others deepen their relationships with plants through tea, just like I was able to gain so much support, and from that, Silk & Spice Tea was born. 

I continue to learn more about our plant-filled world every day, connecting directly with my personal home-apothecary and diving into the medicinal properties and history of plants from regions around the world, and I am so excited to bring you along the journey. 

Thank you so much for being a part of our story. 

With love, 

Grace
