About Me

Hi, I'm John, the founder of Zens Tea Garden. My journey here has been anything but conventional. A decade ago, I was deep in the world of business, running a radon mitigation company. While I built a successful enterprise, life had other lessons in store for me—ones that no amount of financial success could teach.

After years of stress, burnout, and personal hardships, life forced me to slow down. A near-fatal accident, deep loss, and a long period of soul-searching made me realize something profound: happiness isn’t found in chasing external success. It’s found in gratitude, connection, and presence. This realization set me on a completely new path—one that led me to herbalism, alternative medicine, and the power of nature’s healing wisdom.

It was my soulmate who first introduced me to herbalism, and it changed my life in ways I never expected. What started as curiosity became a passion, as I saw firsthand how plants could support not only physical health but also emotional and spiritual well-being. The deeper I dove, the more I understood that nature has been offering us healing solutions all along—we just have to listen.

In 2023, I walked away from my old life to follow what truly fulfills me—helping others experience the profound benefits of herbal medicine and holistic wellness. Zens Tea Garden is the manifestation of that passion. Here, I combine my knowledge of herbalism with a deep understanding of what it means to heal—not just the body, but the mind and spirit as well.

Through carefully curated tea blends, I hope to share the same healing and transformation that changed my life. My goal isn’t just to sell tea—it’s to empower people with the knowledge and tools to live healthier, more balanced, and more mindful lives. Because when we nourish ourselves with nature’s gifts, we align with something greater than ourselves.

Thank you for being here. I invite you to explore, learn, and join me in discovering the power of tea, healing, and gratitude.
