Our Mission
HONEST-TEA AND INTEGRI-TEA.
It’s been a long time since we fell in love with quality loose leaf teas in 2006. Back then, it was hard to find organic, healthful teas with truly transportive properties. And so we started sourcing them ourselves! We promise every loose leaf tea and blend on our menu has been curated with honesty and integrity.
Almost all of our teas are allergen-free. As of late, they are all organic and Kosher, too. (Just look for those designations on their individual pages.) When you pour water over our tea leaves, you’ll immediately sense their natural, lively personalities. You’ll taste quality, freshness, and flavor. We started our family-owned tea brand to share the affordable luxury of a fine cup of tea. Welcome to our family.

"I discovered the healthful joys of fresh, quality loose leaf tea after a few challenges with my health: I was diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disease in my early thirties. Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. During this time, I started looking into alternative medicines and healthy lifestyle practices. It’s no surprise that many of these explorative paths led to tea.
I quickly experienced the transformative health benefits of drinking tea every day. I also discovered the mental and emotional boosts I got from my building tea rituals, too. A morning cup of organic green tea charges my focus and energy without making me jittery. In the afternoon, one of our wellness tea blends keeps me mindful through whatever comes my way. In the evening, I have to have a cup of peppermint tea to help me unwind. (It helps that our peppermint tea is of the highest quality, sourced from Oregon!)
I founded Heavenly Tea Leaves in 2006 to share the joy and simple pleasure of a good cup of tea. I call our teas “affordable luxury” because their potent flavors and aromas can truly transform our atmosphere, attention, and intention. I hope they inspire you to take a bit of time from your busy life to take care of yourself and those you love. That you drink and share them in ease, peace, and good health."

"I'm a perfectionist—all the way down to the little things in life. I’ve always found tea to be one of those overlooked beverages that can make large, positive changes on your day to day, your emotions, and your health. My goal is to share the joys and benefits tea brings to as many people as we can.
The wonders of tea still amaze me to this day. The fact that a plant can turn into something so colorful, delicious, and aromatic is amazing. Tea is a healing, soft, gentle beverage that soothes, but it’s also stimulating, energetic, and complex in flavor (specifically quality loose leaf tea, that is). The deeper you fall into the world of tea, the more surprises you find.
So if you’re new to this world - think of our teas like you would a fine wine, a gourmet chocolate, or artisanal coffee. Some are certainly delicate and relaxing. But others deliver serious flavor and body-boosting properties."
