“When life comes at you fast it's time to slow down"

Anthony Capobianco grew up in the Midwest where his grandmother introduced him to Lipton and Red Rose tea when he was around 8 years old. As this tradition carried on, years later he discovered loose leaf tea and continued his research learning more about this ancient art form. 

Anthony entered the corporate world in his early 20's working long hours as an executive mortgage banker. He gravitated toward tea as a way to ground himself and slow down. His coworkers took notice that in the midst of what resembled the stock room trading floor, there he was "Zenned" out drinking tea at his desk. At the request of his colleagues, he began sharing and eventually selling tea while encouraging coworkers how to slow things down a bit. 
 
Since then Anthony has taken many courses on tea, traveled internationally to several tea gardens, judged tea competitions and has been featured in several media outlets including the Huffington Post, Better Nutrition,  and various morning television shows and podcasts. All in an effort to bring awareness to quality tea while helping people step up their tea game. 

"I aim to keep the tea preparation process simple and not too serious."
