We had the good fortune of connecting with Alia Ghaffar and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alia, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I have always followed my passion, and then turning my passion into building a business. Been a professional Makeup artist and Stylist for 10 years in DFW area until last year when COVID-19 hit and I was unemployed during lockdown and big part of 2020 as all weddings and events got canceled. It was during quarantine when I started experimenting with teas. I was always an avid tea drinker ( not the powder kind full of preservatives) but love the loose blend of natural organic herb blends that are soothing to both mind and body. With so much time on hand I started experimenting with different flavors and blends and created a Calming tea to reduce my anxiety and decided to share it with my friends , and it was a hit. I feel that with right knowledge, dedication and passion you can achieve anything in life. Discovering Organic natural herbs and clean eating has been part of my journey for a few years and teas have played an important role in my personal well being.
Teaverea came into being where passion meets, health, well being and fitness Incorporating calming and soothing herbs and spices from around the world to bring the whole tea drinking experience the taste and aroma, Black, Green or Herbal there is a tea for everyone at Teaverea.
Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Teaverea is a small woman owned 100% Organic, vegan, tea company based out of frisco Texas, founded in 2020 during quarantine to soothe my own anxiety by making calming herbal blend tea. I am so proud and excited to share my passion and art of teas blending with everyone by introducing different blends from around the world be it spicy, floral, fruity, detox , Kahwa etc. there is a tea for every tastebud. As this is a new venture for us we still have a long way to go. So far we have 6 different flavor of teas.
We at teaverea promote health and well being naturally. Our Pure, Organic healing herbs are good for both mind and body. There is nothing like a warm Cuppa Tea to soothe your soul after a stressful day.
Give yourself s a little TLC!!!
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
we would definitely start at legacy west and the Star enjoy shopping and dining outdoors , then head to the Art district for some downtown fun.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
People, books ,groups, family can only do so much I honestly feel that without ones own hard work, passion, dedication and persistence you won’t achieve much. You have to love what you!
