Who We Are, What We Do, and Why It Matters: The Story of Carolina Holistic Tea Farm

Updated: Nov 16

Welcome to Carolina Holistic Tea Farm, where we’re more than just a farm—we’re the Smith family, dedicated to the art and soul of crafting organic loose leaf teas that nourish the body and connect us to the earth. Located in the peaceful countryside of Swansea, South Carolina, our family—Adam, Danielle, and our children—each play a role in bringing our teas to life. From planting seeds to blending herbs, every member of our family is part of a journey that transforms simple plants into delicious, healthy teas. For us, tea is not just a product; it’s a way of life, and we’re thrilled to share it with you.

From Seed to Sip: The Journey of Our Teas

At Carolina Holistic Tea Farm, we take pride in crafting teas that are as fresh, flavorful, and wholesome as possible. Our process begins with planting and nurturing organic herbs, grown without pesticides or chemicals to ensure purity. When harvest season comes, we handpick each herb, selecting the leaves and flowers at the peak of their potency to capture the best flavors and benefits. The herbs are then carefully air-dried and blended to maintain their natural vibrancy. Every cup of our loose leaf herbal tea is a direct reflection of our commitment to quality and care, from the soil of our farm to the tea in your cup.


Our farm is home to more than just herbs; it’s a lively ecosystem where chickens roam, goats graze, and a vegetable garden grows alongside our herbs. Over the years, we’ve even had pigs. Our newest addition includes cows! These elements contribute to a thriving, regenerative and sustainable environment where we can produce teas that are not only good for you but also good for the earth.


Why Tea Matters to Us and to You

Tea is more than a beverage—it’s a daily ritual, a moment of calm, and a natural way to support wellness. For us, tea became a part of our lives during a challenging time: the COVID-19 pandemic. As the world grappled with uncertainty, our family found comfort in simple, natural solutions, and we began exploring the role that herbal tea could play in our health and well-being. We discovered that many herbs we were already familiar with, such as chamomile and mint, could be used to create teas that uplift, calm, and restore.


This journey led Danielle to dive deeper into herbal studies, where she learned the importance of quality in tea ingredients. Many mass-produced teas on the market are filled with additives or diluted with low-quality herbs. We knew we could create something better—something real, rooted in care for both the land and the body. In July 2021, Carolina Holistic Tea Farm was born. Our vision was simple: to create delicious teas that people could trust, teas that nourish, relax, and refresh in the purest way possible.


Crafting Tea with Purpose: From Our Family to Yours

At Carolina Holistic Tea Farm, we believe that tea should be as natural and authentic as possible. Each tea blend we create is a reflection of our dedication to purity, sustainability, and the art of tea itself. By growing, harvesting, and blending our own herbs, we’re able to ensure that every cup is full of flavor and goodness, without the fillers or additives often found in commercial teas. Each blend we make has a purpose, whether it’s to help you unwind after a long day, support your health, or simply bring a little joy to your daily routine.

Our teas are crafted with herbs that grow right here on our farm—lemon balm, chamomile, peppermint, and so many others that bring unique benefits and flavors. We have loose leaf blends for relaxation, like our Organic Relaxing Tea, and teas for focus and digestive support, like our Minty Fresh Fusion. By drinking our teas, you’re connecting with the same plants that we’ve grown, harvested, and prepared with care. Each sip is a way to reconnect with nature, find peace, and support your body with something real and natural.


The Tea Ritual: A Way to Slow Down and Connect

Our farm has taught us that herbal tea is more than a drink; it’s a reminder to slow down, savor the moment, and connect with the world around us. When you pour a cup of tea, you’re engaging in a ritual that has been cherished for centuries—a ritual that can bring calm and focus in a busy day. At Carolina Holistic Tea Farm, we hope to share this ritual with you, bringing a bit of our farm’s peace and beauty into your life.


For our family, tea time is a cherished part of our day. We take a few moments together, sit outside if the weather allows, and enjoy a cup of tea made with herbs we’ve grown and tended ourselves. It’s a time to unwind, connect with one another, and appreciate the simple beauty of nature. This sense of connection is at the heart of everything we do, and we hope that when you sip our teas, you’ll feel it too.
