Our Story

Meet the Chief Tea Officer, ReAnn Nicholson.

ReAnn’s Story

Born and raised in the vibrant river city of Liuzhou, China, ReAnn grew up in a lively, multi-generational household. Though an only child, she was never truly alone — surrounded by parents, grandparents, and cousins, the house was always filled with energy and conversation. In the joyful chaos, one tradition stood out as a grounding presence: sharing tea.

When she was nine years old, ReAnn moved to the United States, bringing with her not just memories of home, but the cultural traditions that shaped her. Tea remained a meaningful bridge — a way to stay connected to her heritage and her family across the globe.

Everyone has an origin story. For ReAnn, Origins Tea is a tribute to those roots — a celebration of culture, family, and the stories that make us who we are.

“Tea is a tool of connection,” says ReAnn. “Origins Tea is about bringing people together — honoring tradition while creating space for new cultural connections.”
