Officially launching in 2019, The Qi had many hurdles to overcome before getting to where they are now. In the United States, The Qi is one of the first, and possibly the only brand, that specializes in whole flower tea products.

The whole flower teas are very difficult to harvest because of the delicate care needed to keep the flower intact, but the results are visually breathtaking.

Just by adding water, the flowers come back to life before your eyes and infuse the water with their essence (and some may say, with their qi). Li traveled across the world to find small, family-owned farms that grow these single-origin whole flower herbs.

Not only are the flowers visually stunning, they are packed with nutrients and vitamins. The teas can be made into facial steams, added to a luxurious bath, or even crumbled over a salad for a delicious, unexpected twist. Each flower is hand picked and sustainably cultivated by growers that have been perfecting their techniques for generations.

The brand prides itself on 100% traceability and equitable pricing that ensures the highest quality of flowers and the best outcomes for the growers and artisans involved. They also honor the embodiment of 'qi' by giving back to a number of nonprofit organizations such as CAAAV, HerJustice, and more allowing the positive energy generated by these flowers to flow through the community.
