Embodying slow living, an artisan tea preparation scene on marble: a glass pot with wooden handle beside a ceramic bowl filled with colorful organic tea leaves and petals. This handcrafted tisane setup reflects the art of mindful, natural steeping.

studio

In a light-filled sanctuary perched above the busy streets of New York City, I personally blend each of our formulas by hand, sourcing raw materials both from small local growers and highly skilled distillers & craftspeople around the world with great care.

Both the energy of the city and the life force of the plants inform my work and I believe that we can live with intention and in harmony with the natural world, wherever we may find ourselves. I hope you will join me.
