About

Taomi is a word that blends my name, Tamika, and my sister's name, Naomi. Together, it is pronounced, "Tay-Omi." The idea for Taomi Tea N Treats came from watching my mother make tea. She has always used tea for healing, self-enjoyment, and as a way to bond with friends and family.

As an adult, my mother still prepares her tea, sits on the couch, and enjoys a cup. Thus, the idea of starting a tea business was not surprising to me. Moreover, in my Haitian culture, tea is a healing foundation, and we use it for natural remedies, which are effective. As a child, I hosted my own pretend tea parties and sipped my tea from a small pink mug.

Even as a child, I recognized the beauty of what a cup of tea could do for someone. So, why did I want to start a tea business? The thought initially occurred to me for my mom, whose tea is delicious. However, the more I considered tea, the more I wanted to create a business for myself. I began to think about the healing benefits of tea and knew that if I started a tea business, I would name it "Taomi."

The "Tea N Treats" component is critical because a delicious cup of tea reminds us to treat and care for ourselves. Additionally, tea has been a key element in my digestive healing and mental wellness.

In 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to share my love of tea and created blends that would help individuals care for their physical and mental well-being. Each blend I created addresses digestive issues, cold and flu symptoms, and much more. Furthermore, each blend promotes mental wealth, self-care, and brings great vibes when shared with friends and family. All blends have been crafted with love and healing in mind.
