Welcome To My Tea Vault!
Hi there! I’m Lisa, the person with the “slight” tea addiction behind the blog. My love of tea started by sitting at my grandmother’s plastic lace covered table, two tea cups, saucers, hot water, tea bags and that bowl of sugar cubes in the middle of the table. It was our time. My grandmother and I would just sit and talk over our cups of tea and sugar cubes. I really loved those sugar cubes. I don’t remember much of those conversations, but at 5 years old I only imagine Barbie dolls, puppy dogs and shopping were a big part of that conversation. Here is a picture of Charlotte, my grandmother. She was the best listener, baker, cook, friend, caring person I have ever known. She even taught me to crochet, one long single crochet ball after another.
This is where my love of tea (and sugar cubes) began. I no longer eat sugar cubes or any sugar for that matter (see my video about sugar HERE).
The love of tea remains and my knowledge of tea has grown like the tea leaf in water. I’m sure my love of tea at that moment was more a love of being with my grandmother.
There are moments I will take a sip of tea and try my best to go back to those very moments sitting at that wooden table, drinking tea from bone china tea cups without a care in the world with the one person I connected with most in my life.
I dedicate my love of tea to my grandmother!
MY MISSION IS TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE INCREDIBLE GLOBAL TEA COMMUNITY AND GIVE YOU ENDLESS OPTIONS ON TEAS AND TEA PRODUCTS.
Who is behind it all?
All of the content you will find on this site has been created and edited by me to ensure I meet the highest quality standards.
As much as possible I try to get my hands on the items mentioned in this blog to get real-life experience with them unfortunately this is not always possible, so I also rely on extensive online feedback from real customers of these items.
I continue to spend a lot of time with the tea community locally and online discussing all the new teas and tea items that come out and what will be of interest to you
All in all, I want this site to be a place you can trust, that is not rigged by brand sponsorship, so that you can use my information to make the best decisions for yourself when it comes to your tea decisions.
What About Health Benefits?
Healthy choices and sharing the health benefits of teas and herbs is one of my main goals. In order for us to live a healthy and less toxic life that we can, we look at the 2 things that follow:
1 – SUSTAINABILITY
Tea was first discovered around 5,000 years ago in China and was used medicinally. Now tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, besides water. Fine teas require a delicate ecosystem and they cannot flourish without a healthy environment. Sustainable growing practices and organic farming methods both play a crucial role and have an intimate relationship. So, if I can lead you to the teas and tea products that help our ecosystem and our world I will feel I have done my service to you and to the world.
2 – TOXICITY
Camellia sinensis is the Latin name for a tea leaf. All tea is derived from the Camellia sinensis plant. Brewed herbs are called tisanes. Drinking tea lends numerous health benefits from antioxidants, flavonoids, and polyphenols.There are five leading teas: Green, black, white, yellow and oolong and an abundance of healing herbs. Drinking them regularly can increase your health and lessen your toxicity. I share these teas and herbs with you, confident that you will be healthier and less toxic with them.
By following these 2 principles, I hope to help reduce the toxicity in you and our world. If you want to help with this, just check out and use the items we recommend:-).
