Our Story
Welcome to my page!
I am passionate about Food being Medicine, and healthy ingredients being easy to use, and healing herbs and spices being added into everyone’s life as much as possible. I also love to cook. So, my tea and chai combine great culinary flavor with simple and pure ingredients.
I love to help people and I strive to encourage people to also help themselves. Be that by taking time for a good cup of tea, adding soothing herbs and spices into their lives, or encouraging wholesome ingredients and practices.
I created my instant Golden Milk Chai for my best friend when she was sick. She needed comfort and an easy way to get the anti-inflammatory benefits of Turmeric.
I created my Lavender Peace Tea because I adore Lavender, and my son and I needed help with our own stress. I love the calming benefits of Lemon Balm also used in this blend, and the Sage and Peppermint are perfect additions.
Bath salts – need no explanation – everyone could use a good bath, with soothing coconut oil and calming essential oils to unwind. And, of course all of the best salts for a bath. However, taking the time for oneself in this practice is what is most important.
Please stay tuned, and sign up on the main page, to find out when new products are launched and where to find us in the East Mountains and Albuquerque, NM. I’ll be working on more Chai drinks, something super yummy with cardamom, cacao mixes and spice mixes for easy home cooked meals. I’m so excited!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know my products, my company, and my passion.
Blessings!
Spring
The roots of a name and something good to grow.
What is in a name …
Lotus
For those that don’t know, my middle name is Lotus. Yes, my parents were hippies. I get asked that all the time. :) My dad was a florist and the Lotus flower is also very beloved by his church. I love this name now … but as a kid growing up in West Texas in the 70s, not so much. Ha!
Tree
My mom and I have always been literal tree huggers. We simply love trees and yes, we hug them. They ground us and make us feel strong. I had to have the word tree in my business name.
Herbal
Well, God gave ‘herbs for the service of man’ Psalms 104:14.
I believe in the majesty and magic of God’s gifts to us on this beautiful earth.
Being true to my form, I cannot tell a lie, so even when I loved ‘Lotus Tree’ - I wanted it to be a real thing … and it is! However, the lotus flower we all know is not grown on the tree, they grow out of mud. Check out the links below.)

How we began …
While I had dreamed of this business for years, I never knew when I would actually start it. I have always loved to cook and I truly do believe that food is medicine. I’ve been playing in the kitchen with herbs and spices for as long as I can remember. It all started with my experiments with the plants outside when I was a little girl. Making ‘pretend tea’ out of flowers and having tea parties.
Then big, big, big changes happened in my life. And finally, just like the lotus flower grows out of the mud, I could finally grow this passion out of these murky changes, this passion that I had dreamed of for so long would now see the light.
It’s been an incredible journey since I officially launched my business. I tell you, it has been so fun! But, it’s also been a confusing, cathartic, scary, exhilarating, lonely, challenging, freeing, sad, happy, numbing, exciting, rewarding…roller coaster.
I’m so looking forward to growing this business and continuing my love of helping others, now through my passion for the power of food as medicine and healing herbs and spices, bringing herbal goodness to others.
Wishing you health, wellness, peace, and time to take care of yourself.
