How TeaLeafic Was Born
Hi, my name is Ili and I am here to share my love and passion for tea with you. Growing up tea has always been the main drink in my house. The kettle was always on the stove and no matter what time of the day, it was guaranteed that you could find a warm cup of tea in the kitchen. Tea has been the center piece of many different occasions; during celebrations, sickness, happy moments and sad moment. In my culture there was no such a thing as “flavored tea”. All the flavours would come from the natural ingredients, herbs, flowers and leaves that were mixed with the tea, mainly black tea.
While I was growing up, I found drinking tea to be a bonding experience between me and my family and friends. As tea would come around, the conversations would flow. Later on, when I moved to Canada, tea became a refuge to escape from the cold and I found comfort in the warmth of the tea cup I was holding. In summer I looked for refreshing drinks and started to experiment with green tea.
When I had a cold, I would add honey, lemon, ginger to my tea, as I came to learn the combination soothe my throat. Few years back when I started to have digestion issue, I turned to tea again. It was then when I learned about health benefit of tea and different blends. I started mixing teas with herbs and other ingredients. My obsession with tea got to the point that in gatherings, my friend started to offer me tea while everyone else were having other types of beverage. Since I become obsesses and everyone associated me with a cup of tea, Tealeafic was born.
