Our Journey
Our journey is marked by my early love for plants, flowers, roots, fruits and spices, truly Caribbean! While tea is often associated with Western and Asian cultures, Caribbean communities have been consuming tea for centuries, and have used all kinds of natural growing plants for medicinal and entertainment purposes.
I also have a passion for promoting health and wellness, and preventing disease. When I was in college, I used to drink tea to relax, during intense exam time, based on memories going back to my Suriname/Caribbean roots known for relying on herbs and spices to heal all physical ailments, create all kinds of party drinks like ginger beer, hibiscus and ginger (Sorrel), party cocktails, and grandma's tea.
Years later, while taking care of my Dad, my sister and I tried to include some herbal teas to relieve some of his symptoms. Dad left us way too soon, but in his memory, I decided to hold on to Caribbean family traditions, some of which resembled those I encountered in my academic journey. After months of discussion, tasting and researching what I knew, read, hear, and shared with some tea lovers, public health professionals and other community members, Drink Our Hi-G was born.
