The Journey
From Tragedy
to Purpose
When Steve Schwartz's mother was diagnosed with cancer, Western medicine fell short. That pivotal moment led him to the Ayurvedic Institute, where he discovered the profound healing power of tea.
In 2004, armed with a backpack and a mission, Steve founded Art of Tea in Los Angeles — now a globally recognized, award-winning tea purveyor serving clients from Wolfgang Puck, Disney, The White House, Aman in Maldives to the Peninsula Hotel in Tokyo.
Today, Steve is a 3-time #1 best-selling author, Master Tea Blender, and international keynote speaker who has inspired audiences at the World Happiness Summit, eTail, EEE Miami, and stages around the world.
