About Us
OUR HISTORY - TRADITION AND CULTURE
We love what we do
The genesis of the Mama Lupe Tea Company sprouted from the cherished memories of my maternal grandmother, Mama Lupe, who utilized medicinal plants from our hometown, Salcedo, Hermanas Mirabal, Dominican Republic, to bring healing to those around her.
Inspiration
Immersed in the customs of Dominican women and the wisdom of Mama Lupe, I developed an awareness of the soothing and healing potential of native plants. I came to understand that as humans evolved from grazers to farmers we have chosen to grow fruits and vegetables that were either easy to farm or sweet tasting. As such we lost a lot of the most nutritious content (phytonutrients) in our foods. To optimize nutritious content and soothing/healing potential I selected specific herbs that not only provide a flavorful experience but protect against oxidative stress. Continually seeking knowledge, I explore plant ingredients globally, ensuring each tea bag encapsulates the highest healing potential nature offers.
I selected herbs and plants with optimal phytonutrient potential, while combining elixirs to make the most flavorful experience.. Five years ago, I founded the Mama Lupe Tea Company in Connecticut, successfully distributing tea to locally to small shops. Encouraged by this success, I expanded the brand, opening our first tea house in Salcedo, Mama Lupe's birthplace, aiming to cultivate a new tea-drinking experience in my native home.
