The Irie Cup

Founded by LaShanda Lewis alongside her husband, Joseph, The Irie Cup brings Jamaican heritage, family tradition, and herbal knowledge to the cup. Raised in a Jamaican household where herbs were part of everyday wellness, LaShanda grew up with generations of knowledge about plants, tea, and the rituals surrounding them. Beginning in 2016, she deepened that knowledge through herbalism courses, ingredient research, and hands-on blending in her kitchen. In 2020, LaShanda and Joseph turned a long-held dream into The Irie Cup, spending six months researching, blending, and building before launching online. Rooted in their shared heritage and inspired by the garden, the remedy cabinet, and Jamaican tea traditions, The Irie Cup offers high-quality loose-leaf teas designed to encourage wellness, mindfulness, and relaxation—one cup at a time.
