I'm going to give Ashera Earth Mother the ultimate compliment as a coffee drinker -- the tea is DELICIOUS (and I'm not even a tea person) and the events are so much fun!
I first came across the company at one of the little handicraft markets in South End. Ashera's Chai was super yummy and she also had flavors like German Chocolate Cake(!!). I love supporting local small businesses, so I bought a gift basket for my mom for Christmas, which was adorable - it came with a mug, strainer, tea, etc.
Ashera, the owner, also holds themed events... and I'm a SUCKER for a theme! I attended the Ugly Holiday Sweater tea party and the vibes, as the kids say, were immaculate. It was held at a cute craft-making place, AR Workshop. I loved getting to know the other guests as we tried multiple rounds of tea and engaged in trivia and games. It was the perfect rainy day outing. Very hygge!
I definitely recommend stocking up on Ashera Earth Mother teas and keeping an eye out for Ashera's events. They're both so unique to Charlotte. read more
