I used to have trouble sleeping and started drinking Celestial Seasoning’s teas. Before long I had collected quit the teabag selection for the pantry. From there I started reading books and articles concerning all things tea. I found the subject of tea and the way it has nurtured human history very intriguing. The medicinal aspect of the brew would come in a bit later. I started purchasing loose leaf soon after and left the pre-bag scene behind for a higher quality product. At this time my brother and I had discussed going into business together and since I was so passionate about tea, I put a packet together for him (Richard Hinson) to review and see if there was any future potential in a teashop. So, we hooked up with TeaGschwendner a few months later and within the year, we had opened our shop. Unfortunately, the TeaGschwendner marriage didn’t last but ten months, and from there we decided to go at it alone.
