About
Taomi is a beautiful fusion of my name, Tamika, and my sister's name, Naomi, pronounced "Tay-Omi." The inspiration for Taomi Tea N Treats stemmed from childhood memories of watching my mother prepare tea. For her, tea wasn't just a beverage; it was a tool for healing, self-indulgence, and connection with loved ones.
Even now, as an adult, my mother continues this tradition, finding solace in a cup of tea on the couch. Growing up in my Haitian culture, tea was a cornerstone of healing practices, cherished for its natural remedies. As a child, I would host imaginary tea parties, sipping from a small pink mug and already understanding the magic a cup of tea could bring.
The idea of starting a tea business initially surfaced as a tribute to my mother's delicious blends. However, the deeper I delved into the world of tea, the more I felt called to create something for myself. I pondered the therapeutic properties of tea and knew that if I were to embark on this journey, it would bear the name "Taomi."
The "Tea N Treats" aspect is integral because a delightful cup of tea serves as a reminder to cherish and nurture ourselves. Tea has played a pivotal role in my own digestive healing and mental well-being.
In 2020, amidst the pandemic, I felt compelled to share my passion for tea and crafted blends designed to support individuals' physical and mental health. Each blend I've curated addresses a range of issues, from digestive concerns to cold and flu symptoms, all while promoting mental wellness and self-care. Crafted with love and healing intentions, these blends are meant to be shared, fostering positivity and connection among friends and family.
