Hi, I’m Naquela (like MaKayla with an N) Marie, owner of Planted Tea Shop🌿
With so many new faces here lately, I realized I’ve never properly introduced myself.
Planted grew from my own journey with wellness, mindfulness, and reconnecting with nature in more intentional ways. Over the years I’ve studied and continue to study herbalism, including clinical herbalism, while learning how plants, rituals, nutrition, and slowing down can support the body and mind together.
I’ve also had opportunities to live and travel abroad, including living in Thailand, experiences that deeply shaped how I view healing, community, daily ritual, and presence.
What started as personal exploration slowly became Planted: a space centered around loose leaf tea, herbs, education, conversation, and creating accessible ways for people to reconnect with themselves.
Outside of Planted, I work in community engagement and education, and a lot of what I care about overlaps — connection, access, mindfulness, creativity, and helping people feel supported.
At Planted you’ll find loose leaf teas, individual herbs, tea education, pop-ups, tastings, workshops, and a whole lot of intention behind every blend.
I’m really grateful you’re here. Whether you’ve been following since the beginning or just found this page recently — welcome 🌱
