Microgreens ECT, led by owner Catherine Kippen, provides a unique tea blend that combines the nutritional benefits of microgreens and Yaupon leaves. Microgreens, the first growth of seedlings, are harvested at their peak when they reach about three inches. This early harvesting ensures they are packed with nutrients and flavor. When dehydrated, these nutrients are preserved, offering a potent addition to the diet.

Yaupon leaves, native to Florida, have been used for centuries and are known for their high nutritional content. The combination of these two superfoods results in a tea rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, beneficial for both body and mind.

Kippen, who has been passionate about gardening for years, has perfected the art of growing microgreens. “It’s about getting nutrition efficiently for me and my loved ones,” she says. After successfully cultivating microgreens and offering them raw and in spicy dehydrated mixes, she now focuses on tea. This innovative tea blend is her way of sharing the love for tea with a powerful punch of antioxidants and polyphenols.
