Sashee’s innovative product has been featured in Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, and Oprah Magazine, counting the likes of mega celebrities like Michelle Obama and Chrissy Tiegen as fans. But, the true source of pride for Sashee and her company is the community and human connections fostered by making loose leaf tea more accessible and convenient for all.
