About Dan...

I was raised in Lockport, NY and pursued my passion for food, wine, travel and a girl (I married her) across the country. I eventually found my home in Napa, California.  After many years on the production side of the wine industry, I felt the tug of entrepreneurship. Drink the Leaf was founded in partnership with my feline mascot, Little One (usually at my side or enthroned on the keyboard). I am excited about the premise of this company--it's based on fun, energy, health, and truly enjoying the experience of tea-drinking, and where it can take you on a daily basis.

About Drink The Leaf:

Drink the Leaf’s mission is to provide exceptional loose leaf teas from around the world. We seek out the finest, premium quality traditional and organic ingredients. Our goal is to offer top-notch products; to set the standard for customer service; and to always remember our motto: "just add water", and enjoy the ease and wonderful experience of drinking loose leaf tea!
