About Tracy

My passion is helping fuel wellness. I’m a corporate exec turned entrepreneur after a health scare in the family. At Millennia TEA, we’re going back to tea’s origins, where it was enjoyed with leaves fresh from the plant. We’re the creators of Fresh-Leaf TEA – real, raw, whole-food tea. Washed, instead of dried out. Flash frozen to safeguard more nutrients instead of heated and processed.

My background is journalism and PR. I love a good story, and believe relationships are core to everything worthwhile. Meeting amazing people and doing something that matters are what light me up.
