Inspiration

Before founding Zen’s Tea House, US Navy Veteran, Fernando Lopez, was deployed to South East Asia and the Middle East and saw first hand how teas and herbs can be used as an effective type of Health Care. After his five years of honorable service he returned to his home in Los Angeles and used his 3 months of unemployment to fund the company. This is how Zen’s Tea House was founded.

Since 2012, the Zen’s Tea House team has sought to help educate the community about natural medicine and holistic and preventative health care. So long as there are over prescriptions and unhealthy living, the amount of medical physicians promoting medicinal teas and herbs, nutraceuticals, will increase.
