Hi, I’m Heather
Certified tea sommelier and founder of the UppiTea Experience. I’ve always been drawn to the power of service and meaningful connection. To me, tea, is one of the most elegant forms of both. I invite others to be a little uppity - the desirable quality of being unapologetic about our love for tea, interest in collective well-being, and focus on mindfulness.
I’m passionate about sharing tea knowledge, curating memorable experiences, and spotlighting ethical brands that are positively contributing to the tea industry.
