NOLA Botanical Tea
Meet Portia Cooper, owner of Nola Botanical Tea and a CCFM Vendor Representative! Nola Botanical Tea offers quali-tea loose and prepared bottled teas as well as unbleached tea filters and wooden spoons.
Their tea blends include both bottled prepared and loose Hibiscus tea in addition to Elderberry, Chamomile, and Ginger Root teas. If unsweetened tea is not your cup of tea, then NBT also offers organic blue agave sweetener! Portia started the company out of her own personal experience. After struggling with bloating and fatigue, Portia researched the benefits of tea and discovered that ginger root tea is known to help aid bloating and increase energy. You can find Nola Botanical Tea at all three of our weekly Markets. Be sure to swing by and treat yourself to a sample of Portia’s Hibiscus Tea if you’ve yet to have the pleasure!
