Healing, Heritage, and Hibiscus: The Endless Life Teas Journey

Endless Life Teas isn't just brewing beverages; it's blending culture, wellness, and heritage in every cup. Founded by Yvonne Jones, a breast cancer survivor whose journey toward natural remedies rekindled a deep connection to her Caribbean roots, Endless Life Teas has blossomed into a family-owned, Black-owned business based in South Florida.

Known for crafting unique tea blends from homegrown moringa and soursop leaves, the company embraces ancient wisdom while embracing modern wellness.

In this Q&A, Yvonne Jones shares the heartwarming, health-focused, and flavorful story behind Endless Life Teas — a brand that transforms a simple cup of tea into a powerful experience.

Q: How did your journey with tea begin, and what inspired you to start Endless Life Teas?

A: My mother always had us drink teas when we were children. It was a cure for fevers, tummy aches, and other things. In 2000, about 25 years ago, I had breast cancer, and I became more health-conscious with natural remedies. I changed my life, went back to my roots with my mother having teas, and I decided to look into it more and share it with people.

Q: How did tea become more than just a comfort during your health challenges?

A: Hospital visits, invasive treatments, and side effects left me physically and emotionally drained. The teas became a daily ritual—an intimate moment of solace that connected me to something beyond the sterile walls of my medical appointments. They became a form of empowerment.

Q: When did Endless Life Teas officially start?

A: In 2017, we started as a hobby. We’d sell teas to some church members, at cultural festivals, and we put everything in teabags for people to try.

Q: What makes your tea blends unique?

A: Our teas are lovingly prepared from homegrown moringa leaves—often called the 'miracle tree'—and soursop leaves, cherished for their wellness benefits. We blend them with spices, so they don’t have that super earthy taste. People will say they’re good!

Q: How do you balance honoring traditional tea-making practices with a modern approach?

A: We want to stay true to our cultural roots while making teas accessible to everyone. Our blends are a testament to authenticity—capturing ancestral practices while embracing a mindful lifestyle. We source ingredients from local farmers, along with ginger and turmeric from Jamaica and India, and some from our backyard.

Q: How has social media impacted your business?

A: Social media has really educated people on what's out there and the benefits of ingredients like moringa. Seeing posts or even a moringa vending machine allows people outside the culture to learn more.

Q: Where can people find and experience your teas?

A: We sell our teas at farmers' markets like the Yellow Green Farmers Market every weekend. We’ve also been at New York’s Black Veg Fest, Pembroke Pines’ Caribbean American Festival, and locations in California, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.

Q: What are some of your most popular tea blends?

A: Our most popular blends are Soursop Lemongrass and Moringa Cinnamon Hibiscus. They’re soothing yet energizing. We also experiment with bold flavors like Soursop Lavender Chamomile, blending tropical creaminess, floral lavender, and sweet chamomile.

Q: How does working as a family impact your business?

A: We work as a family—me, my daughter, and my two sons. We bounce ideas off each other because four heads are better than one. This is our culture and something that has changed my life and many others. We just want to continue that, spark joy, laugh, take pictures with customers, and help people feel good and be healthier.
