Meet Shanae

Ivy's Tea Co. is owned and operated by first-generation herbalist and Tea Bae, Shanae. The decision to study herbalism came when she decided to learn more about living off the land and using the land for healing. She launched Ivy's Tea Co. in November 2016. Since then, the brand has transformed into the Hip-Hop inspired tea company you shop from today. Through Ivy's Tea Co., Shanae hopes to change the way you see tea drinkers and introduce more African holistic health remedies into the holistic health industry. The goal is to make the industry as inclusive and reflective and accepting of all cultures as Hip-Hop. When she is not blending teas or infusing honeys, she's probably at the nail salon - nails gotta stay fly.

Meet Sarah

She uses her knowledge from her culinary training to develop unconventional artistic methods and push the limits. Texted and culture are weaved into her art through the inspirations of her world travels and the wonders of nature.

It was founded out of necessity due to Jen’s children having eczema and she wanted to create a topical solution to their dry, rough and itchy skin because none of the readily available creams/ointments were working. She wasn’t too fond of the idea to put steroids on her young children’s skin, so she set out to create something better. After years of research, Jen accidentally created the best body butter on the market (Tweedle Oops).


As of recent, CaJoSe Natural landed online accounts with Walmart.com and Amazon Handmade.


Meet Jen

After some research and some trial and error, she stumbled upon the perfect formula that actually works on a continuous basis! Having applied it to her kids’ skin twice daily and noticing a difference almost immediately, CaJoSe Natural became official shortly after.
