Our Story
Most of your day belongs to everyone else.
Your work, your people, the thousand small things that need you. By the time the house goes quiet, there is not much of you left.
Ky Tea is for that hour. The one that is yours.
A slow pause. A small batch. Something pure.
I Wanted Something Beautiful.
I grew up in Houston, and I know what it looks like to carry everyone else first. When I went looking for an herbal smoking blend that felt elevated, I found a void. Everything was either cannabis-adjacent, wrapped in mysticism, or trying too hard to be earthy. Nothing looked like my life.
I wanted something a professional could leave on the counter without a word of explanation. Something a parent could reach for once the house finally settles.
It did not exist. So I made it.
Chosen, Not Collected.
I have always been particular about plants. I read about them the way some people read about wine: where they grow, how they taste, what they have been loved for. Every herb in a Ky Tea blend is there on purpose.
Nothing is in the pouch by accident, and nothing is in it that does not belong. No tobacco. No nicotine. No fillers.
Keep It Pure is not a tagline to me. It is how I decide everything.
How It Began.
The first blend was made at home, by hand, for a few people close to me.
One evening I stood on my own patio, lit something I had made from plants I understood, and watched the sun go down. It felt like me. Earthy. Intentional. Elevated.
Not long after, a friend named Joelle replied to an Instagram story of me making my daily tea and wrote: "I'd buy 'Ky Tea.'"
She saw it before I did.
In March 2026, Ky Tea became real, in Dallas.
Made in Dallas. Made by Hand.
Ky Tea is a Black woman-owned company. Every batch is blended and packed by hand in Dallas, in small runs, so each pouch is fresh and nothing is rushed.
I am building this slowly and carefully, for people who deserve better than whatever was easiest to make. We are only getting started.
