Jeni Dodd Tea

I am the woman I am because of my mom Maggie, my grandma Ethel, my mentor Betty Jo, my friend Nancy and so many more. These women poured the tea that nurtured my soul, absorbed the bitterness so it would never reach my lips, and planted new fields so I could grow in ways they were never allowed to imagine.
Today I honor every woman doing the quiet, invisible work and every woman doing the bold, defiant work—and I trust that together, standing on the shoulders of the women before us, we become the reason the next woman dares to bloom into her biggest, most beautiful dreams.
Happy International Women’s Day to the women who made you and the woman you are!

I just had the opportunity to speak with some of those I consider my family in Nepal. While the circumstances are dire and worse than being reported — they are at least safe and staying so for now.
I am praying for the safety of all and for peace. Sending love to all my friends and adopted family in Nepal.

A story in a cup of survival, discovery and renewal. Meet the tea that rose from the earth’s upheaval. Debuting at this Saturday booth 23.

Something wild and resilient is about to rise . . .

It has been a truly difficult year. This day seems especially hard without my mom. The support of my amazing friends and family has helped me survive this Annus Horribillis. I am so grateful for each and every one of you.

Happy International Tea Day!

I am so pleased to participate in Ms. Shabnam Weber's brilliant concept and the Tea & Herbal Association of Canada's wonderful celebration of the tea world.

This year's theme of Celebrating the Women in Tea is near and dear to my heart, and I look forward to honoring the women in tea today.

Join me live today at 10am EDT but also watch all the amazing women on this program throughout the day.

Enjoying a beautiful, single-bush, old tree, classic lapsong souchong I picked up on my recent trip to China. You should come share a cup with me.

Chris and I drove from NYC to Jackman Maine for the Teaclipse. We had tea in totality and were not raptured. What a beautiful experience!!
