She is also in the process writing a few books, one of which is about the mystical side of Tea. She opened TAoTaT's Mystic Tearoom shop in 2016. Amy’s passion for all things tea and herb related is one of the reasons why she decided to to sell a small curated selection of teas and tisanes. Many of the blends she has for you are not only organic but as much as possible single origin, from farm smallholders, and sustainability harvested. Amy creates almost every blend that she carries, and if she didn’t, she made sure to test and taste them prior to passing them onto you. I late 2020 Amy rekindled her love and passion for creating with natural material by making brooms again. She had 20lbs of broom corn sitting in her basement for over 10 years that she rediscovered, and decided to begin working with again. She took a couple online courses to refresh her muscle memory, and now offers brooms for sale through her shop. She also does custom requests, send her an email to find out how you can get onto her creating schedule.
