I'm thrilled to announce my close friend (and former boss at American Eagle Outfitters), Hea Won Chun Harris, left corporate fashion and just launched a new brand in delicious wellness adaptogen teas, called Eleven Teas! It is a family affair that her husband Charles and daughter are a part of too. If you're in Atlanta, Georgia, please check them out at Ponce City Market on Jan 11, 2021. Passing the mic off to Hea Won for her to tell you more about why you need to have these teas in your life.

Why should I be drinking Eleven Teas? That is a question you might be asking about us and the answer is right in our drinks! The two important elements that form our products have roots planted in history from thousands of years ago: Teas + Adaptogens. Both with a long history of being used in different cultures + adopted as part of the cultural diet + as part of many healing modalities; we have combined them and put our spin to address the ails of 21st-century life so that you can be primed and optimized every day.
Our goal is to reimagine the experience of teas by taking what you love and amplifying the health benefits. While other companies pump their drinks with sugars and syrups and all those other things that you can't pronounce, we use organic, wild-crafted + all-natural products in our beverages.
But how do we do it? By using adaptogens, of course! Adaptogens are herbs that help your body combat those pressures and stressors that wear you down every day (life!). They help regulate your body's systems (like your cardiovascular, glandular, and that ever-so-important immune system) so you can focus on the things that you need to do without worrying about whether or not you'll break down doing them. Adaptogens are mother natures gift to us.
At Eleven, we make sure that everything we craft is DELICIOUS.
We know that taste matters, and with that, we pay special attention to all our recipes. We are redefining the standards. We've worked with recipe developers, mixologist, functional doctors + MD's to make sure that we are offering you the best solutions that adhere to modern life.
We know that what you put into your body matters, including how it's made. We've taken the time to do it right so that you can feel good from the inside out!
We have been incubating + working on this concept for a while and are launching our first retail outpost on 1.11.2021 at Ponce City Market in Atlanta, Georgia.
Now that we have officially transitioned into the much-awaited Age of Aquarius. (A water sign + we are a water business (teas, lattes + caffeine) The premise of the Aquarian age is all about making the world a better place. That's what we hope we are doing, making it a better place by offering clean, delicious, healthy options that adhere to a strong ethos around protecting the earth, people and recognizing all our healths effects each other.
Our mission is to create a 21st-century lifestyle brand that is enduring and leading not only by amazing products but by leading through the love and respect of our mother earth + all humanity.
Eleven has been significant in our personal life and has come up many, many times. (The day our daughter was born and also her numerology number... among many other coincidences.)
11 is a power number and 1 + 1 = 11.
(We also know that 11:11 is the lucky time each day to make your wish known.)
We are so excited and proud of what we've been working on and can't wait to share it with everyone. This ideal was seeded over eleven years ago, and has evolved since then but the premise has always been to take say "healthy is wealthy + wise. "
- Hea Won, Charles & Harper Harris
