Story

Hello, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Nikki Bundy. Creator and Owner of Exclusivitea.

We provide quality Herb & Tea blends as well as individual Herbs that you can create your own blends with. I believe in our motto: Healing takes time... take time to heal.

I started my herbal journey deep dive as many others have, in search of answers to my many illnesses throughout the years. I've always been interested in herbs and tea but when I got sick and had no answers, that's when I thought to myself, there has to be a better way. I NEED a better way. I felt like I had been let down or unheard by so many doctors in the past but I also wouldn't be here without some of them and I am forever grateful. I truly believe we need more integrative medicine in our systems. The best of both worlds! If you haven't found a doctor or clinical herbalist that truly listens, don't give up and keep trying! 🤎

I am a Biracial Folk Herbalist of African Canadian, Métis (on my father's side) & European descent (Irish and/or British on my mother's side). 

At a young age I remember admiring my Grandma's Garden. Sadly we lost her before I was old enough to learn from her but I do have a photo of her garden from the 70's that always makes me feel calm and connected. I luckily have had some great teachers along the way and am thankful to be forever learning and studying herbs.

I believe that herbal blends and teas can help so many people in so many different ways. They have definitely helped me! They support the immune system and enrich our overall health. You can drink them as a tea or a power packed infusion, add to smoothies, salads, soup broths or even add to stir-fry's. There are so many ways to add herbs to your diet that enhance the taste of your food while making you healthier.

I have a deep love of trees, fungi and plants of all kinds, animals, gardening, nature walks, crafting, hosting Artisan fairs, creating art, watercolor painting, baking and of course, formulating tea, making handmade natural body care and herbal care blends.🌿🍵

If you want to get a sense of the things I love, take a look at our Curiosities section. There are Artisanal products, collectables, oddities & even some special thrift finds I'm willing to let go of! I have curated this section with things I am inspired by that I feel you may love too! Things that make my heart sing. Things to bring fun, quirkiness and warmth to your home. 

Disclaimer: Always be sure to speak with a Doctor, Naturopathic Doctor or Clinical Herbalist, concerning adding herbs to your lifestyle and mixing with medications. Some Doctors are slowly becoming more open to working with your Herbalist/Naturopath or they are integrating and incorporating natural ways into their own practice which is great to see.

If you are not on medication I would still suggest speaking with an Herbalist concerning mixing different herbs together or mixing with vitamins. Everything I share on this site or on social media is for educational purposes only. I am not a doctor. I ask that you always do your own research to know if an herb is right for your personal situation. We are all unique and different herbs can affect us in various ways. Please, also be sure you are not allergic to an herb by doing a spot test on your wrist or contact your Doctor for advice. We are not responsible for any allergic reactions you may have. As I said, please do your own research to know what is right for you. Safety first! 

You can also find me on my personal IG: @creationsnikkitarose to see more of my everyday life, plant love, travel and my life with chronic illnesses.
