Hello tea lovers! š«
Weāre deep into a lush and abundant summer and while weāve been busy behind the scenes harvesting, drying, and blending all kinds of wonderful plants, we thought it was the perfect time to reintroduce ourselves.
Iām Ash š Born and raised in the UK, I transplanted to Bloomington, IN in late 2019. Iāve been farming with the Earth in mind for nearly 6 years and working with tea for over 9.
My tea journey began in childhood, captivated by Chinese & British tea culture. From a young age, I learned to appreciate oolongs, pu-erh, green teas & more. You could say itās in my blood! I come from two of the worldās richest tea traditions: China and England.
I got my start in the industry at LEAF, a tea shop in Liverpool, UK, where I learned to blend and serve teas, tisanes, and beyond. After making my way to the U.S. via Costa Rica (ask me about that story sometime!), I landed in Bloomington with a deep passion to reconnect with the Earth and root myself in my love for tea.
And so āBlossom & The Bee Teaā was born: an ode to natureās love story and the beautiful interdependence of flower and pollinator. We offer teas that nourish mind, body, and spirit. Every sip is a connection to this land, honoring the plants that sustain us.
Itās been six years of tending to these powerful medicinal herbs, and itās been a true honor to share them with you. Thank you for being here, and for supporting small farmers like us š«¶
