SHANTI WRITES: “Bamboo has been a passion of mine for most of my life. Having been born in India I feel that the tropical essence of bamboo has been written in me since birth. It’s beauty, strength, and flexibility are guides to love and live by and I am always in awe of it’s versatility. I came to Florida to work for Imagineering on the Animal Kingdom project as an ornamental grass and bamboo specialist and never left. The tropical beauty of Florida captivated me and I decided to start my own bamboo farm just down the road from Disney. I have been growing and living with bamboo in Orlando since 1998, and while I love the beauty of the plant in the landscape I have been fascinated by the possibilities of medicinal / edible uses. Bamboo Leaf Tea is not a new idea but a very old one. It’s roots take me back again to India and other parts of Asia where it has been used for centuries for both rituals and healing. I love the abundance of picking bamboo leaves and the smell of making the tea always roots me in my connection with the earth and it’s bounty. I currently make teas from different parts of the bamboo plant as well as different varieties. I also make extractions including hydrosols. I continue to learn more about the intricacies of bamboo and it's ability to heal and feel that this is just the beginning of this grass's time to shine.”

Bamboo Leaf Tea is made from 100% bamboo leaves grown and processed by hand in sunny Florida without the use of any chemicals.
