Zen’s Tea House creates proprietary blends for Doctors and their patients while maintaining a wide assortment of Teas and Herbs available for public consumption. Zen’s Tea House primarily operates in Farmers Markets and Private Events. Zen’s Tea House Founder, Fernando Lopez, is well respected in the holistic nutraceutical industry and is the primary developer of the company’s proprietary blends of teas and herbs.
Founder
Meet Fernando:
After serving 5 years in the US Navy, Whittier Native, Fernando Lopez returned to his hometown in 2012 and started Zen’s Tea House. With only his unemployment check, he started selling to friends & family.
In 2013 Zen’s attended its first farmers in Downey California. In 2014 Zen’s opened a warehouse in Santa Fe Springs CA. In 2019 Zen’s Tea house opened its first cafe in Norwalk CA. In 2021 Zen’s second cafe in Whittier CA. In 2024 Zen’s Tea in Torrance Ca was opened by Claire, one of Zen’s first employees.
Inspiration
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.
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.
