Infuse & Muse was born in a quiet moment of care.

When my mother and grandmother came to visit me in Toronto from Ethiopia, the winter slowed everything down. My grandmother, who has always loved tea, would drink three to five cups a day. I found myself preparing it for her daily. At first, using tea bags out of habit. But something about that didn't feel right.

As I learned more about what we consume so routinely, I began to question the quality of something as simple as tea. So I made a small shift, I started brewing loose leaf instead.

What began as a simple change turned into something more intentional.

Because she wasn't moving as much during the colder months, I wanted her tea to do more than comfort her, I wanted it to support her. I experimented. I replaced what didn't resonate. I adapted to her preferences. When she didn't enjoy green tea, I softened it. I added hibiscus to help her body release excess fluid. When she grew tired of eating bananas daily, I introduced goji berries for their natural richness in potassium.

One blend turned into another. Ingredients became expressions.
