🎙️ In this heartwarming and flavorful episode of the Veteran's Growing America Podcast, hosts Donnell Johns and R.L. Simmons sit down with Michelle, the founder of IngenuiTea™ Gourmet Tea & Spice Company and an active duty service member. Michelle’s lifelong love of tea is steeped in rich family heritage, tracing back to her great-grandmother Anna, born in 1880 on the spice-rich Caribbean island of Grenada.
