Our Story
Hi, I am Dini.
I live in rural Nova Scotia, enjoying life with my husband and some our our six treasures.
Herbs and teas have been a way of life for me since I was a little girl. Just for beauty and fragrance, I would gather arms full of wildflowers and herbs in the fields.
My grandma Theresia took me along to collect and wildcraft herbs. She explained the healing properties of each one and made tasty concoctions and remedies for us. Mom grew herbs in our garden.
To have homemade teas on the table was the norm for us, and we took it for granted. Once we were sick with strep throat I experienced firsthand the God-given healing powers that herbs can have. Within days my sister was on the mend.
As I grew up, I became more and more fascinated with the potential herbs hold. I enjoyed to wildcraft and collect on my own, trying and making new recipes. Helping my kids overcome sicknesses with the help of herbal remedies and looking for natural ways to strengthen us is a joy. I have always been a nature girl, I guess.
The fragrance of fresh and freshly dried herbs cannot be compared to the cardboard boxes with tea bags you find in the stores. I kept giving my tea to friends and neighbors as gifts.
One day my friend Paula, who is an herbal tea lover told me about the different famous loose tea brands she had been trying. Then she declared: “I still like yours the best! How do you make it?” I explained how and she answered: “If you would sell it, I would buy it from you.” She still laughs today, about my facial expression as I replied
dumbfounded: “You would???”
Thus Bumblebee’s Best – Herbs and Tea was born?
Because we want to ensure the highest quality and freshness for your tea experience, we are growing a lot of the herbs used in our teas on our own property, some we wildcraft.
Anything we don’t grow ourselves, we are receiving from organic sources from Canadian Companies.
