A Hot Flash Led to Plant-Power Menopause Care. Sometimes the most difficult problems are solved by Mother Nature.
Did Menopause Take You by Surprise? It got me too! Tea Botanics was birthed from my own experience with severe hot flashes and my desire to treat it naturally.
I’m a runner, do triathlons, eat pretty well and my mom never experienced hot flashes so it wasn’t even on my radar that this could happen to me. But when it did, I realized I was like so many women who were blindsided by menopause and needed information that was often unavailable even from their own doctor, including treatment options.
As a natural remedy seeker, I first went to my functional medicine doctor (Dr. Pei) who specializes in healing teas and we co-created Hot Flash Tea. Since then we’ve created more life stage products along with an active menopause community called WisePause Wellness (www.wisepause.com), where health experts share midlife wellness wisdom.
Developing Hot Flash Tea and getting it out into the world was the adventure of a lifetime. After a year of Denise and I traveling to find the right organic farms, performing extensive testing to perfect our proprietary process and listening to feedback from women in test groups.
Tea Botanics became a wellness company committed to offering high-quality organic tea-based nutraceuticals for women as they age.

Our Organic Philosophy
Everyone deserves to live a healthy and full life. To that end, “organic” is at the very soul of our core beliefs and our business. Organic not only refers to natural origins of the botanical plant, but also to the way it is cultivated, produced and processed. Organic agriculture is based on the system of farming that mimics natural ecosystems, thus maintaining and replenishing nutrients and the fertility of the soil. It uses natural ways of pest control, such as frogs, bats and plants with natural insect-repelling properties. It utilizes traditional, time-tested methods of processing. Therefore, organic products are free from harmful chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides.
Our Farmers
Unsurprisingly, there are few open tea fields suitable for producing organic tea plants. After a lot of research and traveling, we finally found a select few family-owned tea farms and cultivars that share our beliefs and philosophies. Located in the Nantou region of Taiwan, the farms are 100% organic through and through.
The farmers practice a method of farming called no-till farming, better known as Holistic management. The farmers believe in nature’s way of growing crops from one year to the next. Before and after rainfall, they do not disturb the soil. They let the water infiltrate into the soil, creating a moss-like grass that increases organic matter retention and cycling of nutrients to produce the highest quality tea. It’s truly nature’s way. This not only enhances the flavor of the tea, it also eliminates the need for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides and other chemically enhanced farming practices.
It’s amazing what happens when we let Mother Nature do her job.
Our Difference
We study what makes women unique and it’s not solely a matter of anatomy and hormones. It is a complex interplay of the brain, hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle that converge on every organ in a woman’s body.
Tea Botanics recognizes these complex relationships and the science to bring a new level of health and wellness to women during this transitional life stage.
