Meet the Maker
Pennie Crockett, founder, and CEO of Pennie’s Teas is a Chicago native with a Master of Health Administration degree. She is also a Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified Massage Therapist, and a Certified Colon Therapist. A few years ago, when she was not in her best health and could not find over-the-counter products that would help her, she decided to use her professional expertise to blend detox teas. Her tea blend was so successful that soon she had repeat requests from a small customer base of friends and family. After the success of the Wellness Tea, Pennie went to school to learn more about teas, blending techniques, and how to use wholesome ingredients. Pennie became a Tea Master and began custom blending teas. Shortly after, Pennie’s Tea was born. Portion of proceeds of Pennie’s tea sales support victims of domestic violence because Pennie believes that “we are more than tea, it’s a movement”.
