Ep 60 Tea! Talking With The Founder of Uproot Teas - Cindy Li!

STOP USING TEA BAGS! After writing a paper in college about the commodity tea trade, Cindy Li realized that the industry was inefficient and inequitable, with centuries-old structures rooted in colonialism. After working at a tea farm in Maui, she realized there had to be a better way to get people this fantastic product. She started Uproot Teas about a year and half ago and has set out to run a 100% sustainable company that is as good for you as it is for the farmers.  She only works with 3 small regenerative farms ensuring that the product you get is absolutely the best tea you've ever had.
