​

In 2020, Ikisha began her journey of Becoming a Tea Lover. She was on a healthy mission to transition from drinking coffee with lots of cream and sugar to drinking tea. Ikisha was famous for adding 6 oz. of French vanilla creamer and 12 packs of sugar to less than 8 oz. of coffee. It was recommended that she start drinking tea, but the teabag teas tasted nasty to her. Drinking tea in a teabag was not helping. She still had to add lots of sugar and creamer. It wasn’t until she visited a Tearoom and was served loose-leaf tea. She was excited to learn that she did not have to add any sugar, honey or creamer to her tea. This began her journey of learning everything about tea from collecting tea ware to take taking classes learning the healthy benefits of tea. During the pandemic when we were stuck in the house, Ikisha started hosting Afternoon Tea parties with her Best-Teas, Tea Friends and Family.

 

In 2022, Ikisha launched “The Sweet Life of Tea” where she creates and sell custom tea blends to soothe the body, mind and soul. She hosts Afternoon tea parties, Tea blending workshops, Chinese Tea Ceremonies and teaches Tea Etiquette to children and adults.
