Sweet Magnolia
The magnolia flower is beloved for its resilience, grace, beauty, and timeless Southern spirit. Like the magnolia, we all face storms in life—yet by God’s grace, those storms shape us and help us grow.
Hey y’all! I’m Jessica Griffin—wife, mama to three, event coordinator, tea lover, and a woman saved by grace through faith in Christ.
Like many, I’ve walked through deep valleys and celebrated on mountaintops. My heart has known grief over what could have been, yet it overflows with gratitude for the blessings I’ve received. Many of life’s most meaningful moments have been spent reflecting on a porch—whether it’s a front porch watching the world wake or a side porch listening to thunderstorms with my mama, always with a warm cup of tea in hand.
From my mama’s classic Southern sweet tea to my first discovery of loose-leaf, tea has always been a comfort and delight. Over the years, I’ve explored blends like Lavender Fog, tasted the smoky mystery of Lapsang Souchong, found favorites like Peach Oolong, and grown to appreciate the endless variety that Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, offers.
Though I won’t turn down a seasonal latte or a cold brew from the local coffee shop, there’s something truly special about a fresh cup of loose-leaf tea—refreshing, calming, invigorating, and full of life. It’s my joy and passion to share that love with you.
So come on in, pull up a chair on the porch, and let’s share the stories of life’s valleys and peaks. Together, we’ll sip on fresh loose-leaf tea, perfect for those slow magnolia mornings and sweet tea afternoons.
