Our Story

Our Story Begins with Bees 

For more than ten years, we’ve tended hives and gardens in the Fraser Valley, sharing blooms with both pollinators and people. Fruit trees, herbs, ornamentals, and edible flowers grow together here, creating a living patchwork of colour and fragrance.

We gather our botanicals with care, growing and sourcing them in rhythm with the land. Each harvest reflects the character of this small homestead—its seasons, its soil, and the quiet activity of life around it.

A Book That Changed Everything

The Floria Tea Co. began unexpectedly when we discovered an old book on floriography in a small thrift shop. Inside were symbolic meanings once assigned to flowers and shared through arrangements and bouquets.

As we turned the pages, we recognized plants already growing in our gardens—jasmine for joy, calendula for comfort, violet for virtue.  A simple question followed: What if those meanings could be steeped - not only arranged?  That curiousity became the beginning of the Floria Tea Co.

From Garden to Cup                     

What began as curiosity grew into small seasonal blends made from our harvests and carefully selected botanicals. Over time, these blends became a way to share not just flavour, but the character of the garden itself. Each blend is created to be enjoyed, shared, or gifted as part of everyday life.
