After years of fighting a personal war with anxiety, depression and prescription drug addiction, Quentin Vennie journeyed to heal himself and developed a system to manage his mental health diagnosis with yoga, meditation, juicing and tea. Inspired and motivated by his own experiences and his son’s ADHD diagnosis, Quentin made the conscious decision to balance his son’s diagnosis with the same modalities he used to heal himself. This led to the creation of Equitea’s first green tea blend – a beautiful fusion of green tea and botanicals that would become his son’s ritual of focus and calm. Equitea’s blends are created with high-quality organic ingredients and are intended to taste great while boosting wellbeing.
