At Full Moon Tea Company, we believe in the power of tea to connect, nourish, and inspire. But behind every blend is something just as potent: the story of who brews it, grows it, blends it, and brings it to your cup.
As a woman-owned business, we’re proud to be part of a growing movement of women steeping their values into every aspect of the tea industry—from farming and sourcing to formulation and storytelling. Today, we’re raising our mugs in honor of the women behind the blends and the businesses that are reshaping the world of tea with heart, creativity, and vision.
Rooted in Resilience
The tea industry, like many others, has long been male-dominated—particularly at the agricultural and leadership levels. But women have always been essential to the process. From the hands that harvest delicate tea leaves on small farms to the innovators crafting new botanical blends, women bring a deeply intuitive understanding of healing, flavor, and ritual.
At Full Moon Tea Company, we source our ingredients mindfully, prioritizing small farms, ethical growers, and suppliers who uplift women at every step of the supply chain. We believe that when women thrive, communities do too.
Brewing with Intention
Women in tea aren’t just blending herbs—they’re blending boldness with softness, tradition with innovation. We see it in every cup of Evening Peach Orchard, where calming botanicals meet juicy sweetness, or in the vibrant balance of Secret Garden Mint, where freshness meets floral.
Our founder started Full Moon Tea Company with a simple but radical idea: that tea could be a vessel for connection, creativity, and care. That business could be intuitive and still powerful. That growth could be seasonal, soulful, and sustainable.
Why It Matters
When you support a woman-owned tea brand, you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in values. You’re saying yes to:
- Thoughtful, small-batch production
- Ethical sourcing and transparent practices
- A softer, more inclusive vision of success
- Stories that center healing, community, and authenticity
Every cup you brew becomes part of a much bigger picture—a quiet revolution, one kettle at a time.

So, here’s to the dreamers, the doers, the blenders, the growers, and the bold business owners brewing up a more equitable and flavorful future.
From our teacup to yours—cheers to women who lead with both softness and strength.
