Sarah Scarborough, the Tea Huntress joined me in the ecogal studio to share her journey of becoming the Tea Huntress, as well as sustainability in trade, her connection to nature, and what makes one tea stand out from another. This was a conversation that could have continued for hours, and therefore, will have more episodes to follow. This was a beautiful, soothing, and informed conversation. Grab a cup of tea and enjoy!
