High Garden Tea - Behind the Tea Leaves with Joel and Leah Larabell

A business born from a passion is a concept that few people dare to dream of, but Joel and Leah Larabell, owners of High Garden Tea based in Nashville, TN, never had profit in mind when they began to share their love for tea and its medicinal qualities with their community. The road to success hasn't been easy them, especially after a tornado destroyed the tea shop they built by hand and with heart, but their genuine love for what they do and belief in the good that it effuses into the world has brought them through thick and thin. Their passion and commitment to the health of both people and planet is easy to see. It's in the 100 percent recycled, backyard compostable, hand-packaged tea bags. It's in the formulations that care for ailments from head to toe. It's the root of their business philosophy. That business philosophy led to them link up with the ABFFC, the United Plant Savers, and the ASD Herb Hub, and through these partnerships, they're able to expand without sacrificing the principles that keep them rooted in who they are.

Sad I will be missing Leah at the NHS meeting this week. I've been a fan from the moment I tried her tea.
Herbalism has been a fascination for me from the time that I discovered there was such a thing. Seeing a living plant and feeling it's energy is in and of itself HEALING! I was that wild child talking to the purple dead Nettle in her front yard, listening to the all weather spring babble along with her. Now,❤ I just want to get reacquainted with her. It fills me with joy to drink your teas Leah!❤
