He sought natural ways to heal himself, including practicing yoga regularly, meditating, and having a daily cup of tea.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inspired by his 12-year-old son\u2019s neurologist who suggested that green tea is an organic way to manage his ADHD, Vennie developed the company\u2019s first loose-leaf green tea blend, which is composed of lemon and the soothing lavender plant. As a family, they began drinking tea together in a new ritual to create a calming space for focus. Vennie reports that this simple practice has done wonders for his son, who is becoming increasingly more focused and, as a result, more confident.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cWe live in a society that encourages overworking, competing and burnout culture.
