About Us
Our Story
At Nansi Tea Blends, every cup tells a story — one rooted in African botanical wisdom, handcrafted with intention, and steeped in purpose.
Meet the Founder
I'm Lydia Matabi Wilson — known as Nansi — a storyteller, tea maker, and wellness advocate. My journey began long before the first blend was ever crafted. Rooted in a deep connection to Uganda and shaped by my work with the Uganda Cultural Art Network, I've always believed in the power of culture, community, and nature to heal and inspire.
That belief became Nansi Tea Blends — a brand born from a vision to bring the richness of African botanicals to your wellness routine, one small-batch blend at a time.
Our Mission
We handcraft purposeful teas for a wellness lifestyle. Every blend is thoughtfully created to support your body and mind — naturally, intentionally, and with love.
Our core values guide everything we do:
- African Botanical Wisdom — Drawing on centuries of plant knowledge from the African continent
- Women Empowerment — Supporting and uplifting women at every step of our supply chain
- Ethical Sourcing — Building direct, fair relationships with the farmers who grow our ingredients
- Sustainability — Caring for the earth as much as we care for your wellness
Sourced with Purpose
Our ingredients are sourced directly from women-led farms in Uganda. These are small, family-run operations where women grow, harvest, and naturally dry botanicals using traditional methods passed down through generations.
By sourcing directly, we ensure fair compensation, support economic stability in local communities, and preserve the cultural knowledge embedded in every plant we use.
Handcrafted in Florida
From Uganda to your cup — every Nansi Tea Blends blend is handcrafted in small batches in Florida. No preservatives. No shortcuts. Just pure, all-natural ingredients blended with care and intention.
Small-batch production means we can maintain the highest quality standards and ensure every blend meets our promise of purity and purpose.
Our Impact
When you choose Nansi Tea Blends, you're doing more than nourishing your body — you're joining a movement. Every purchase supports:
