WELCOME TO ROAN
ROAN (Roots of a Nomad) creates tea fragrances for the modern-day nomad.
Life is a journey. In today's world, we are constantly on the move, whether on a journey of the mind or out in the physical world. To make each new frontier feel like home, we take time to enjoy the path and find balance along the way. The places, people and cultures that connect us become the roots of who we are and who we are becoming.
Embrace the nomadic spirit within, and be reminded of the power of your own story.
Founded lovingly by Helen Lee.
FOUNDER
Hi, I'm Helen, founder of ROAN.
Roots of a Nomad is a celebration of the deep bond we feel when we allow ourselves to wander and connect with the world around us. For me, that spirit has always lived in tea. ROAN is proudly AAPI female-founded and owned
As a devoted tea enthusiast with a personal collection in the triple digits, I've always turned to tea to reflect, to connect and to bookmark my personal journey. It never ceases to amaze me how many unique characteristics a single tea leaf can hold.
Through ROAN, I hope to show that tea is so much more than a quiet, background note. It's bold. It's diverse. It's limitless.
EMBRACING TEA AS A HERO NOTE
Since the beginning, communities around the world have brewed infusions from the bounty of their land and shared them with one another.
Each tea carries a piece of our global heritage and is a bookmark of the connections in our shared world.
