Come Have tea with me…

Meet Melissa 2.png

Hello! I’m Melissa Vertosick-Harry. Herbalist, health coach, artist, and the woman behind Leaf & Twig, LLC. I’m so happy you are here with me.

My journey started over a decade ago to enhance my own health. I was searching for natural ways to adjust my lifestyle and feel more in tune with myself. Along the way, I realized how my daily tea rituals could become a powerful catalyst to feel more balanced.

From my experiences, Leaf & Twig was born. I find joy in bringing my creativity and herbal knowledge together. The results are blends you can savor while nurturing yourself.

So many of my relationships began or grew over a cup of tea. I promote preparing loose leaf tea to foster those connections. It is my experience that loose leaf teas open us to experience so much of life. Daily tea rituals create mindfulness by encouraging us to slow down and enjoy our cup of tea from start to finish. Savoring the actions of preparing the cup, enjoying the aroma as the tea and herbs unfurl, and truly tasting the flavor of the tea.

I encourage you to connect with your tea. Allow your daily practice to blossom and bring beauty and positive benefits into your life.

I would love to connect with you! Prepare your cup of tea and visit with me on Instagram, Facebook or through my twice monthly Sunday Evening Ritual emails.

 
Connecting over tea

It’s a bold statement and here’s why I believe it:

  • Nurtures the soul as well as the body

  • Provides a method to develop powerful and meaningful relationships with yourself and others

IN HONOR OF MNEMOSYNE…

An earthy, slightly bitter white tea blend, Goddess Wisdom Tea gets its inspiration from the oft forgotten goddess of memory. Mnemosyne was the Titan goddess of memory. At the time she was a powerful goddess; gifting us with memory, reason, prediction, and anticipation of outcomes. She was the inventor of language and words. The Muses are her children.

Savor the white tea and herb blend as you support your mind and spirit.

Remember…

Mnemosyne, the oft forgotten goddess of memory, was mother to the muses. The herbs in this tea were chosen for how they speak to her talents.
