How it started

Blended by a Food Scientist, Inspired by a Trip to Kenya

Much of the inspiration for Steepers Only comes from our founder’s mother, an entrepreneur, and from a missionary trip the family took to Kenya. While travelling, one of the missionary leaders told her something that stuck: “Everytime is tea time.”

She came home, put her food-science training to work, and started blending teas that taste like something and do something: antioxidants, vitamin C, real fruit and whole spices, never artificial flavors.
