The Story of Arteasana

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a mom, practicing Internal Medicine Physician, and lover of tea.

For as long as I can remember, I have loved brewing, drinking and sharing tea with others. Whether at home, at work, or elsewhere, I enjoyed the transformative power of a cup of tea - one that allowed me to take a pause from the hustle of daily life and have a moment to myself. Naturally, with a cup of tea always in hand, I would often get asked by others: What is your favorite type of tea? My answer was: I don’t have one! It depends on my mood, time of day and the occasion.

While traveling abroad, one of my favorite activities was learning about various cultures and the kinds of teas people enjoyed. I explored many combinations and flavor palates, and learned about the process of harvesting and making tea (some of my travel pics below!). I was awed by how universal tea leaves were, yet how unique blends could be and how personal the tea-drinking experience was.

A few years ago, I learned about the potentially high levels of pesticides in non-Organic tea leaves and subsequent leeching of harmful chemicals into hot drinks during the process of brewing. This inspired me to switch to Organic teas, but I was disappointed by the lack of variety of products at the time. Determined to enjoy my favorite drinks in Organic form, I began to blend my own combinations. Since then, I’ve used countless tea leaves, spices, and botanicals to make tea in many forms - hot teas, iced teas, lemonade-teas and bubble teas!

Arteasana is the culmination of years of learning and creativity. The name was inspired by the word Artisanal, which embodies the hand-made nature of our products. The blending, packaging, and sealing of our packets is a work of love and dedication.

I hope you find something that you like, and that our teas bring you moments of pure happiness, connection, and reflection.
