Whenever someone had a cold or other ailment, they provided plant remedies. This began Aisha's love for tea and herbs. In 2004, she founded, The Healing Pot which received national acclaim. Last year, after much thought, Aisha rebranded and decided to provide luxury blends with a little pop culture and a good dose of wellness, visit Tea With Oni to learn more.
