More about Jeremy:

Seven Teas was founded by two brothers, Jeremy and Josh. Their father had his own business, so the boys learned early on -- the value of hard work and no job being too small as a founder. Jeremy traveled the world, studied herbalism, yoga, and when a challenging turn of events steered him away from a previous business, he noticed what he leaned into in moments of challenge -- and built a thriving business around it.
