This sensitivity to smells led her to seek solace in the aromatic world of tea, where she discovered a sanctuary of well-being, security, and passion.The path to becoming a tea connoisseur was not a straightforward one for Ines. Before finding her true calling, she explored various avenues, including delving into the world of perfume production in Grasse, France, and embracing the vibrant culture of New York City. However, it was her unwavering desire to capture the essence of nature that ultimately drew her to the art of tea blending.Ines's quest for authentic sensory experiences led her on a journey across continents, from the lush tea estates of northwest India to the cocoa plantations of Venezuela and the herb gardens of Burma. Along the way, she absorbed the diverse flavors, aromas, and traditions of each region, enriching her understanding of tea and its cultural significance.
